A keyboard-centric VTE-based terminal, aimed at use within a window manager with tiling and/or tabbing support.
Termite looks for the configuration file in the following order: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/termite/config, ~/.config/termite/config, $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/termite/config, /etc/xdg/termite/config.
Termite's exit status is 1 on a failure, including a termination of the child process from an uncaught signal. Otherwise the exit status is that of the child process.
A vte version >= 0.38.0. A patch is required to expose the functions needed for keyboard selection.

With the text input widget focused, up/down (or tab/shift-tab) cycle through completions, escape closes the widget and enter accepts the input.
In hints mode, the input will be accepted as soon as termite considers it a unique match.
The directory can be set by a process running in the terminal. For example, with zsh:
if [[ $TERM == xterm-termite ]]; then . /etc/profile.d/vte.sh __vte_osc7 fi
:
For example, with bash:
↩if [[ $TERM == xterm-termite ]]; then . /etc/profile.d/vte.sh __vte_prompt_command fi
