NAMExfce4-terminal − A Terminal emulator for X

SYNOPSISxfce4−terminal [OPTION...]

DESCRIPTIONxfce4−terminal is what is known as an X terminal emulator, often referred to as terminal or shell​. It provides an equivalent to the old−fashioned text screen on your desktop, but one which can easily share the screen with other graphical applications​. Windows users may already be familiar with the MS−DOS Prompt utility, which has the analogous function of offering a DOS command−line under Windows, though one should note that the UNIX CLI offer far more power and ease of use than does DOS​. xfce4−terminal emulates the xterm application developed by the X Consortium​. In turn, the xterm application emulates the DEC VT102 terminal and also supports the DEC VT220 escape sequences​. An escape sequence is a series of characters that start with the Esc character​. xfce4−terminal accepts all of the escape sequences that the VT102 and VT220 terminals use for functions such as to position the cursor and to clear the screen​.

General Options−h, −−help List the various command line options supported by xfce4−terminal and exit −V, −−version Display version information and exit −−disable−server Do not register with the D−BUS session message bus −−color−table Echo the color codes −−default−display=display Default X display to use​. −−default−working−directory=directory Set directory as the default working directory for the terminal

Window or Tab Separators−−tab Open a new tab in the last−specified window; more than one of these options can be provided​. If you use this as the first option, without −−window separators, the last window will be re−used​. −−window Open a new window containing one tab; more than one of these options can be provided​.

Tab Options−x, −−execute Execute the remainder of the command line inside the terminal −e, −−command=command Execute command inside the terminal −T, −−title=title Set title as the window title for the terminal (ignores dynamically−set title) −−dynamic−title−mode=mode Set mode as the dynamically−set title mode for the terminal, one of: 'replace', 'before', 'after', 'none' −−initial−title=title Set title as the initial window title for the terminal (respects dynamically−set title) −−working−directory=directory Set directory as the working directory for the terminal −H, −−hold Causes the terminal to be kept around after the child command has terminated −−active−tab Makes the terminal active: useful when a terminal window contains multiple tabs −−color−text=color Set color as the text color for the terminal per the following specification: https://developer​.gnome​.org/gdk3/stable/gdk3−RGBA−Colors​.html#gdk−rgba−parse −−color−bg=color Set color as the background color for the terminal per the following specification: https://developer​.gnome​.org/gdk3/stable/gdk3−RGBA−Colors​.html#gdk−rgba−parse

Window Options−−display=display X display to use for the last− specified window​. −−drop−down Will start the window in drop−down mode (also called a Quake−style terminal)​. This will only apply to the first window started with this option​. It is advised to bind this to a shortcut in the keyboard preferences​. −−geometry=geometry Sets the geometry of the last−specified window to geometry​. Read X(7) for more information on how to specify window geometries​. −−role=role Sets the window role of the last−specified window to role​. Applies to only one window and can be specified once for each window you create from the command line​. The role is a unique identifier for the window to be used when restoring a session​. −−startup−id=string Specifies the startup notification id for the last−specified window​. Used internally to forward the startup notification id when using the D−BUS service​. −I, −−icon=icon Set the terminal's icon as an icon name or filename​. −−fullscreen Set the last−specified window into fullscreen mode; applies to only one window; can be specified once for each window you create from the command line​. −−maximize Set the last−specified window into maximized mode; applies to only one window; can be specified once for each window you create from the command line​. −−minimize Set the last−specified window into minimized mode; applies to only one window; can be specified once for each window you create from the command line​. −−show−menubar Turn on the menubar for the last−specified window​. Can be specified once for each window you create from the command line​. −−hide−menubar Turn off the menubar for the last−specified window​. Can be specified once for each window you create from the command line​. −−show−borders Turn on the window decorations for the last−specified window​. Applies to only one window​. Can be specified once for each window you create from the command line​. −−hide−borders Turn off the window decorations for the last−specified window​. Applies to only one window​. Can be specified once for each window you create from the command line​. −−show−toolbar Turn on the toolbar for the last−specified window​. Applies to only one window​. Can be specified once for each window you create from the command line​. −−hide−toolbar Turn off the toolbar for the last−specified window​. Applies to only one window​. Can be specified once for each window you create from the command line​. −−show−scrollbar Turn on the scrollbar for the last−specified window​. Scrollbar position is taken from the settings; if position is None, the default position is Right side​. Applies to only one window​. Can be specified once for each window you create from the command line​. −−hide−scrollbar Turn off the scrollbar for the last−specified window​. Applies to only one window​. Can be specified once for each window you create from the command line​. −−font=font Set the terminal font​. −−zoom=zoom Set the zoom level: the font size will be multiplied by this level​. The range is from −7 to 7, default is 0​. Each step multiplies the size by 1​.2, i​.e​. level 7 is 3​.5831808 (1​.2^7) times larger than the default size​.

EXAMPLESxfce4−terminal −−geometry 80x40 −−command mutt −−tab −−command mc Opens a new terminal window with a geometry of 80 columns and 40 rows and two tabs in it, where the first tab runs mutt and the second tab runs mc​.

ENVIRONMENTxfce4−terminal uses the Basedir Specification as defined on Freedesktop​.org[1] to locate its data and configuration files​. This means that file locations will be specified as a path relative to the directories described in the specification​. ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME} The first base directory to look for configuration files​. By default this is set to ~/​.config/​. ${XDG_CONFIG_DIRS} A colon separated list of base directories that contain configuration data​. By default the application will look in ${sysconfdir}/xdg/​. The value of ${sysconfdir} depends on how the program was build and will often be /etc/ for binary packages​. ${XDG_DATA_HOME} The root for all user−specific data files​. By default this is set to ~/​.local/share/​. ${XDG_DATA_DIRS} A set of preference ordered base directories relative to which data files should be searched in addition to the ${XDG_DATA_HOME} base directory​. The directories should be separated with a colon​.

FILES${XDG_CONFIG_DIRS}/xfce4/terminal/terminalrc This is the location of the configuration file that includes the preferences which control the look and feel of xfce4−terminal​. Note: any update made to the configuration file via an external editor will be picked up by xfce4−terminal instances running​. ${XDG_CONFIG_DIRS}/xfce4/terminal/accels​.scm This is the location of the keyboard shortcuts configuration file for xfce4−terminal​. Editing this file allows one to modify or disable shortcuts for the supported actions​.
