Ability to disable highlight would be really cool, it gets in the way when using tools like mc, extra toggle would be great as you could easily disable/enable depending on the task you are doing and keeping the settings unlike tweaking it to 0 extra lines/top and reverting for cli use

After update to 1.9.0.1 the "about" page still says "1.8". Weird.

I forgot to update the about page. I'll fix it in the next update.

Is it possible to configure the default directory? Since 1.7 or 1.8 ToeTerm drops me off at root instead of home.

Possible to manual adjust the keyboard size?

Not at the moment, but that could sound interesting. When actually you would need to resize the keyboard?

New here, trying to figure everthing out. Not having a good time of it. Maybe I'm just to stupid. It's the only thing I can think of.

Hi and thanks! I noticed that the project was left alone, so I decided to pick it up. Thank you for mentioning my fork on your OpenRepos page!

Wow! I'm absolutely impressed with your work on this terminal emulator! By far best looking terminal in Linux world. Thanks! There will be any chance to be able to use a spanish keyboard too? And can we contribute to its translation to spanish too, as I already have mentioned on github? https://github.com/direc85/toeterm/issues/2

Yeah not a bad idea actually, should be doable with some quick and dirty qml edit of allowed orientations though?

Option to use native Sailfish keyboard

That would be interesting, once you're in an irc/telnet/whatever outside of shell sfos keyboard could come in handy with the prediction and all, toe's crossed

What do you mean orientation function? You seem to have commented the same on ROZZ's version of toeterm, it rotates fine from portrait to landscape?
