NAME

Terminator - Multiple GNOME terminals in one window

SYNOPSIS

terminator [options]

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents Terminator, a terminal emulator application. Terminator is a program that allows users to set up flexible arrangements of GNOME terminals. It is aimed at those who normally arrange lots of terminals near each other, but don't want to use a frame based window manager.

OPTIONS

This program follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included below. -h, --help Show summary of options -v, --version Show the version of the Terminator installation -m, --maximise Start with a maximised window -f, --fullscreen Start with a fullscreen window -b, --borderless Instruct the window manager not to render borders/decoration on the Terminator window (this works well with -m) -H, --hidden Hide the Terminator window by default. Its visibility can be toggled with the hide_window keyboard shortcut (Ctrl-Shift-Alt-a by default) -T, --title Force the Terminator window to use a specific name rather than updating it dynamically based on the wishes of the child shell. --geometry=GEOMETRY Specifies the preferred size and position of Terminator's window; see X(7). -e, --command=COMMAND Runs the specified command instead of your default shell or profile specified command -x, --execute COMMAND [ARGS] Runs the rest of the command line instead of your default shell or profile specified command. --working-directory=DIR Set the terminal's working directory -r, --role=ROLE Set a custom WM_WINDOW_ROLE property on the window -c, --classname=CLASSNAME Set a custom name (WM_CLASS) property on the window -l, --layout=LAYOUT Start Terminator with a specific layout. The argument here is the name of a saved layout. -p, --profile=PROFILE Use a different profile as the default -i, --icon=FORCEDICON Set a custom icon for the window (by file or name) -u, --no-dbus Disable DBus -d, --debug Enable debugging output (please use this when reporting bugs). This can be specified twice to enable a built-in python debugging server. --debug-classes=DEBUG_CLASSES If this is specified as a comma separated list, debugging output will only be printed from the specified classes. --debug-methods=DEBUG_METHODS If this is specified as a comma separated list, debugging outut will only be printed from the specified functions. If this is specified in addition to --debug-classes, only the intersection of the two lists will be displayed --new-tab If this is specified and Terminator is already running, DBus will be used to spawn a new tab in the first Terminator window.

F11 Toggle fullscreen Ctrl+Shift+R Reset terminal state Ctrl+Shift+G Reset terminal state and clear window Super+g Group all terminals so that any input sent to one of them, goes to all of them. Super+Shift+G Remove grouping from all terminals. Super+t Group all terminals in the current tab so input sent to one of them, goes to all terminals in the current tab. Super+Shift+T Remove grouping from all terminals in the current tab. Ctrl+Shift+I Open a new window (note: unlike in previous releases, this window is part of the same Terminator process) Super+i Spawn a new Terminator process Drag and Drop The layout can be modified by moving terminals with Drag and Drop. To start dragging a terminal, click and hold on its titlebar. Alternatively, hold down Ctrl, click and hold the right mouse button. Then, **Release Ctrl**.
