Tilix

Tilix is a sophisticated tiling terminal emulator for Linux built with GTK+ 3, designed to maximize productivity through advanced window management capabilities. What sets Tilix apart is its ability to split terminals both horizontally and vertically in any configuration, allowing users to create complex layouts that can be saved and restored. Terminals can be seamlessly rearranged via drag-and-drop, both within windows and between separate windows, and can even be detached into new windows on the fly.

The terminal offers powerful collaborative features like synchronized input across multiple terminals, making it ideal for system administrators and developers who need to execute commands across multiple servers simultaneously. It supports custom color schemes, transparent backgrounds, background images, and includes a Quake-mode for drop-down terminal access. Advanced features include automatic profile switching based on hostname and directory, custom hyperlinks, and notification support for completed processes.

Built following GNOME Human Interface Guidelines, Tilix integrates well with GNOME desktop environments while maintaining compatibility with other Linux desktop environments like Unity. The application is written in the D programming language and leverages the VTE widget for terminal functionality. While currently seeking maintainers for future development, Tilix remains a robust choice for power users who need advanced terminal management capabilities beyond what traditional single-pane terminals offer.
