What is cheesy?

cheesy is a simple terminal emulator designed for simplicity - and mainly for my own workflow and purpose to be honest.

Build

Simply clone the repo. After that, enter the three most iconic commands you know when using Linux:

./configure
make
(sudo) make install

You need gtk-3 and vta-2.91 installed (with their corresponding development files).

After that just call cheesy.

Usage

There's not that much so see and to do: You can increase or decrease the transparency (if supported by your window manager) with CTRL-+ and CTRL-- and change the colortheme to a slightly different one with F1. You can select text and copy it to the clipboard via CTRL-SHIFT-C and paste text from the clipboard to the terminal with CTRL-SHIFT-V.

That's it.

Although there's some more functionality to come, cheesy will remain a simple and small terminal emulator.

'cheesy' has not the most positive meaning in the english language, so why calling a terminal emulator so?

For me 'cheesy' has a different meaning. And it's my secret :-)
