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.

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
