Tilix: Quake-mode for wayland (gnome-shell-extension)

Created on 5 Mar 2018 · 7Comments · Source: gnunn1/tilix

Hi guys.
I developed my first extension for gnome-shell. I really wanted to use quake-mode in wayland, but time went on and nothing changed. I did it and now you can use it, but don't count on powerful support, it's better to send pull-requests.

Thank you @gnunn1 for a great terminal emulator.

A slightly modified version of the command worked for me:

env GDK_BACKEND=x11 tilix --quake

It is suggested in Tilix wiki, but not mentioned in the documentation

Thanks for this extension. :+1:
I just installed it, it's working after a restart.

Thanks for doing this.

I'll update the quake mode documentation with this as a potential way to get tilix working in quake mode in Wayland.

Why wayland support was dropped ? I haven't had any single issue with tilix (tilix quake mode) on wayland.

@EdiDD It relied on various hacks to work (such as forcing the width to be 100%) and couldn't support the same features that work under X11. Also lot's of other people had issues with it and I got tired of supporting something that could never be perfect to the limitations of Wayland.
