Desktopfree

tym is a lightweight, Lua-configurable terminal emulator for Linux built on GTK3 and VTE. Its configuration and theme files are plain Lua scripts that can be reloaded live, and it exposes a Lua API for custom keymaps and hooks. It's for Linux desktop users who want a minimal terminal they can script and theme precisely.
