Package terminator-0.94-2

Terminator is a useful tool for arranging terminals. It is inspired by programs such as gnome-multi-term, quadkonsole, etc. in that the main focus is arranging terminals in grids (tabs is the most common default method, which Terminator also supports).

When you run Terminator, you will get a terminal in a window, just like almost every other terminal emulator available. There is no other GUI apart from the context menu on each terminal, but there is a configuration file which can be used to control the behaviours and settings of Terminator (see the manpage "terminator_config"). If you use GNOME then the settings for your default gnome-terminal profile will be used (you can specify an alternate profile on the command line). You can create more terminals by right clicking on one and choosing to split it vertically or horizontally. You can get rid of a terminal by right clicking on it and choosing Close. Ctrl-Shift-o and Ctrl-Shift-e will also effect the splitting. Ctrl-Shift-n and Ctrl-Shift-p will Shift focus to the next/previous terminal respectively, and Ctrl-Shift-w will close the current terminal and Ctrl-Shift-q the current window. In order to use Alt-arrow to move between terminals, add the following lines to ~/.Xmodmap: clear Mod1 keycode 66 = Alt_L keycode 69 = Alt_R add Mod1 = Alt_L add Mod1 = Alt_R
