Tilix (Cytracon) — Omarchy plugin

What it is. Cytracon Tilix is the tiling terminal for Omarchy: split panes, bookmarks, AI CLIs (Grok, Codex, or your own), and ops commands. Use it as Super+Return.

This plugin is the bar UI for that terminal: installed version, then a launch into Tilix. If Tilix is missing, the panel runs omarchy install tilix (terminal + this plugin).

Install

One command installs the terminal and this plugin:

omarchy install tilix

Or add the widget first, then click Install Tilix in the panel:

omarchy plugin add https://github.com/cytracon/omarchy-tilix.git --enable

The widget lands in the left bar section.

Remove the plugin

omarchy plugin remove io.github.cytracon.tilix

Removal deletes only the plugin checkout under ~/.config/omarchy/plugins/. It does not uninstall Tilix or change xdg-terminals.list.

Install Tilix (the terminal)

User-local, no root. On Omarchy:

omarchy install tilix

That writes ~/.local/libexec/tilix, a Wayland wrapper at ~/.local/bin/tilix, Hyprland rules, and xdg-terminal-exec keys so Super+Return can use Tilix. App docs: cytracon/tilix. Removing this plugin does not uninstall Tilix.

What the panel shows

Field	Typical value
App	Tilix (Cytracon)
Version	1.9.8-cytracon.12
VTE	0.84
GTK	3.24.52
Session	Wayland, tiled Hyprland terminal tag
AI Tools (defaults)	Grok, Codex, Example (ai-cli)
Extra tools	Preferences → AI Tools (Add / Duplicate)

Shops, bookmarks, and extra CLIs stay in the user's GSettings / ~/.config/tilix. They are not part of this plugin.

Cytracon Tilix 1.9.8-cytracon.12

Tiling GTK3 + VTE terminal forked for Omarchy / Hyprland:

• Native Arch/LDC build, GDK_BACKEND=wayland
• xdg-terminal-exec (X-TerminalArg*) so Omarchy can treat it as the default terminal
• Tiled windows (not the 875×600 floating-window dialog tag)
• Header: Bookmarks (Ctrl+Shift+B), AI (Ctrl+Shift+A), Ops (Ctrl+Shift+Q)
• Preferences → AI Tools: pipe-separated name|start|resume {id}|list
• Nautilus + Nemo “open here”
• Omarchy theme-set hook for the default profile
• Install prefix ~/.local — no root

Upstream: gnunn1/tilix (MPL-2.0). This plugin is MIT.

Security

• No writes to Hyprland / GSettings / xdg-terminals.list from this plugin (the Tilix installer may set the default terminal)
• Left-click toggles the panel
• Right-click runs $HOME/.local/bin/tilix, or installs Tilix if missing
• Install runs omarchy install tilix in a floating terminal
• “Source” opens https://github.com/cytracon/tilix via omarchy-launch-browser

Omarchy plugins run unsandboxed. Review Panel.qml before enabling.
