Batata 🥔

Batata is a Gnome/GTK4 opinionated terminal emulator for people that need to have several terminals open at the same time and want to easily navigate between them. Something similar to Tilix/tmux/Terminator but flavored to my taste.

Demo

Here's an ugly demo where a forget to showcase that it support tabs too!!

Shortcuts YOU NEED TO KNOW

Why this name?

Lucas Schulze uses the word "potato" and/or "batata" as values for things when debugging stuff, everyone likes batatas.

As a eat your own dog food enthusiast I currently using it every day, however it still may eat your terminals.
