A terminal emulator It is an application that emulates a command terminal or console within another display architecture. Though usually synonymous with a shell or text terminal, the term terminal encompasses all remote terminals, including graphical interfaces.
A terminal window allows the user to access a text terminal and all its applications, such as command line interfaces (CLI) and text user interface (TUI) applications.
Tilda it is a terminal emulator and can be compared to other popular terminal emulators like gnome-terminal (Gnome), Konsole (KDE), xterm and many others.
The specialties of Tilda are that it does not behave like a normal window, but can be raised and lowered from the top of the screen with a special key.
Also, Tilda it is highly configurable. Hotkeys can be configured for key combinations, change the appearance and many options that affect the behavior of Tilda.
Tilda it also comes with a search bar which currently supports forward and backward searching, as well as options to search in upper and lower case and to use regular expressions.
The search bar can be activated from the context menu or with a configurable hotkey that by default is F.
About Tilda.
Tilda currently only works on Xorg based desktops. Previously that meant that practically all Linux distributions and some BSDs would be supported.
Although there are some distributions that make use of Wayland as their default server, among them we can include Ubuntu version 17.10. Tilda is currently not supported by Wayland and will not work on those desktops.
Many Ubuntu users, especially those who use the terminal a lot, can have a very hectic time regularly switching between Ubuntu's default terminal and other applications, such as web browsers.
In that case, a dropdown terminal emulator like Tilda can be very helpful. With Tilda, you can perform all the command line actions that can be done in Ubuntu's default terminal.
Since you can easily hide and show Tilda by pressing a shortcut key, all command line actions can be easily performed without the need to switch between the default terminal and other applications
