FILE
       /etc/xdg/lilyterm.conf          System configure file

       ~/.config/lilyterm/default.conf Users profile.

       Use [Save settings] in the right click menu to save the current tabs
       settings as default to the specified profile.

TIPS
       Display UTF-8 character under C locale

           Execute the following command under LilyTerm:

               bind "set convert-meta off"
               bind "set output-meta on"

           And use the right click menu to set the text encoding to "UTF-8".

       Launch LilyTerm under a chroot jail

           Extract xauth info to a file (under X):

               xauth extract /PathToChroot/tmp/display $DISPLAY

           Mount the devpts device and /tmp (may not necessary) before chroot
           into a chroot jail:

               mount /dev/pts /PathToChroot/dev/pts -t devpts
               mount -o bind /tmp /PathToChroot/tmp (may not necessary)

           Merge the extracted xauth info and set the DISPLAY environ after
           chroot into the chroot jail:

               xauth merge /tmp/display
               export DISPLAY=:0

           Launch LilyTerm directly, or run it under Xnest/Xephyr:

               xinit ~/.xinitrc -- /usr/bin/Xnest :1 -ac -geometry 800x600

           or

               xinit ~/.xinitrc -- /usr/bin/Xephyr :1 -ac -screen 800x600

       <Ctrl><S> and <Ctrl><Q> dont work under VIM:

           Use the following command to turn off flow-Control under
           LilyTerm:

               stty raw

           or

               stty -ixon

ENVIRONMENT
       TERM           Sets what type of terminal attempts to emulate. Please
                      always set to "xterm" under LilyTerm.

       VTE_CJK_WIDTH  Controls the width of some ideographs should be "single
                      width (narrow)" or "double width (wide)" in a vte temi
                      nal.
                      This environment should be set before creating a vte
                      widget.
                      In LilyTerm, you may set the VTE_CJK_WIDTH of a new tab
                      to wide with right click menu New tab with specified
                      locale -> xx_XX.UTF-8 (Wide) or UTF-8 (Wide).

                      The following is a reasonable example for ~/.bashrc:

                          case $TERM in
                          xterm*)
                              PROMPT_COMMAND=echo -ne "\033]0;${HOSTNAME}:
                          ${PWD}\007"
                              ;;
                          *)
                              ;;
                          esac
