NAME
sakura - A simple but powerful libvte-based terminal emulator.
SYNOPSIS
sakura [options...]
DESCRIPTION
sakura is a terminal emulator based on GTK+ and VTE. It’s a terminal
emulator with few dependencies, so you don’t need a full GNOME desktop
installed to have a decent terminal emulator.

KEYBINDINGS SUPPORT
sakura supports keyboard bindings. They are configurable by setting the
following properties in your sakura config file
(~/.config/sakura/sakura.conf).
ACCELERATORS
Accelerators can be set to any mask value from the GdkModifierType in
gdktypes.h; see:
http://www.krugle.org/examples/p-6R7SuZt1c28ljzpZ/gdktypes.h
or, on your own system:
/usr/include/gtk-2.0/gdk/gdkkeysyms.h
Mask values can be combined by ORing them.
For example, to set the delete tab accelerator to Ctrl + Shift:
del_tab_accelerator=5
because GDK_SHIFT_MASK has a value of 1 (1 << 0), and GDK_CONTROL_MASK
has a value of 4 (1 << 2); ORing them together, you get 5.
I realise that this configuration is not so friendly to non-
programmers, but it is a start. :)
KEYS
For example, to set the add tab key to ’T’:
add_tab_key=T
Before sakura used keycodes instead of strings. They’re still valid.
DEFAULTS
Ctrl + Shift + T -> New tab
Ctrl + Shift + W -> Close current tab
Ctrl + Shift + C -> Copy selected text
Ctrl + Shift + V -> Paste selected text
Alt + Left cursor -> Previous tab
Alt + Right cursor -> Next tab
Alt + [1-9] -> Switch to tab N (1-9)
Ctrl + Shift + S -> Toggle scrollbar
Ctrl + Shift + Mouse left button -> Open link
F11 -> Fullscreen
You can also increase and decrease the font size in the GTK+ standard
way (not configurable):
Ctrl + '+' -> Increase font size
Ctrl + '-' -> Decrease font size
