Where Does Tilda Store Settings?
Tilda keeps its dropdown terminal settings in a config file under the config home on Linux. Path and backup routine.
Last updated
Tilda stores its dropdown terminal setup in config files under a tilda folder in the config home. The first instance uses config_0 with further instances numbered up. Fonts, colors and the summon hotkey live there.
That small tree makes moves one copy. Quit Tilda fully first, since the running instance rewrites settings on exit. Transparency and positioning return exactly as left.
Where Tilda stores this, by platform
~/.config/tilda/config_0
Fonts, colors, transparency and hotkey per instance file. Back up with Tilda quit. Extra instances add numbered siblings beside config_0.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move Tilda settings?
Copy the tilda config folder to the same relative path on the new machine with Tilda quit. Fonts, colors, transparency and hotkey travel with it. Numbered configs serve multiple instances, so copy the whole folder rather than one file.
How do I reset Tilda?
Delete the config files with Tilda quit and relaunch. Factory defaults return with the default hotkey. Keep a copy of custom colors first, since reset wipes them too.
