SAKURA(1) SAKURA(1) NAME sakura - A simple but powerful libvte-based terminal emulator. SYNOPSIS sakura [options...] DESCRIPTION sakura is a terminal emulator based on GTK+ and VTE. It's a terminal emulator with few dependencies, so you don't need a full GNOME desktop installed to have a decent terminal emulator. HELP OPTIONS -?, --help Show help options. --help-all Show all help options --help-gtk Show GTK+ Options APPLICATION OPTIONS -v, --version Print version number -f, --font Select initial terminal font -n, --ntabs Select initial number of tabs -x, --execute Execute command -e, --xterm-execute Execute command (compatible with xterm's -e option) -l, --login Login shell -c, --columns Set columns number -r, --rows Set rows number -h, --hold Hold window after execute command -d, --working-directory Set working directory -m, --maximize Maximize window -s, --fullscreen Fullscreen mode --display=DISPLAY X display to use --config-file=FILENAME Use alternate configuration file. Path is relative to the sakura config dir. (Example: ~/.config/sakura/FILENAME). GTK+ OPTIONS --class=CLASS Program class as used by the window manager --name=NAME Program name as used by the window manager --screen=SCREEN X screen to use --sync Make X calls synchronous --gtk-module=MODULES Load additional GTK+ modules --g-fatal-warnings Make all warnings fatal CONFIGURATION show_tab_bar=[always | multiple | never] This list of options is currently incomplete. KEYBINDINGS SUPPORT sakura supports keyboard bindings. They are configurable by setting the following properties in your sakura config file (~/.config/sakura/sakura.conf). ACCELERATORS Accelerators can be set to any mask value from the GdkModifierType in gdktypes.h; see: http://gtk.php.net/manual/en/html/gdk/gdk.enum.modifiertype.html Mask values can be combined by ORing them. For example, to set the delete tab accelerator to Ctrl + Shift: del_tab_accelerator=5 because GDK_SHIFT_MASK has a value of 1 (1 << 0), and GDK_CONTROL_MASK has a value of 4 (1 << 2); ORing them together, you get 5. I realise that this configuration is not so friendly to non-programmers, but it is a start. :) KEYS For example, to set the add tab key to 'T': add_tab_key=T Before sakura used keycodes instead of strings. They're still valid. DEFAULTS Ctrl + Shift + T -> New tab Ctrl + Shift + W -> Close current tab Ctrl + Shift + C -> Copy selected text Ctrl + Shift + V -> Paste selected text Ctrl + Left cursor -> Previous tab Ctrl + Right cursor -> Next tab Ctrl + [1-9] -> Switch to tab N (1-9) Ctrl + Shift + S -> Toggle scrollbar Ctrl + Shift + Mouse left button -> Open link F11 -> Fullscreen Shift + PageUp -> Move up through scrollback by page Shift + PageDown -> Move down through scrollback by page Ctrl + Shift + Up -> Move up through scrollback by line Ctrl + Shift + Down -> Move down through scrollback by line You can also increase and decrease the font size in the GTK+ standard way (not configurable): Ctrl + '+' -> Increase font size Ctrl + '-' -> Decrease font size BUGS sakura is hosted on Launchpad.
