## New home on GitHub
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In April of 2020 we started moving Terminator to GitHub. A new team wanted to continue the work of the original authors.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately we are not able to adopt the Launchpad project, so we could only inform users were possible.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
You can find the project on https://github.com/gnome-terminator/terminator

## Description

|
|
The goal of this project is to produce 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
|
2008-07-05 21:06:38 +00:00
|
|
|
method, which Terminator also supports).

|
|

|
|
|
When you run Terminator, you will get a terminal in a window, just like almost
|
2010-03-30 19:00:39 +00:00
|
|
|
every other terminal emulator available. There is also a titlebar which will
|
|
|
|
|
update as shells/programs inside the terminal tell it to. Also on the titlebar
|
|
|
|
|
is a small button that opens the grouping menu. From here you can put terminals
|
|
|
|
|
into groups, which allows you to control multiple terminals simultaneously.

|

|
2008-07-03 22:48:37 +00:00
|
|
|
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.
|
2010-03-30 19:00:39 +00:00
|
|
|
Also from the right mouse menu you can access Terminator's preferences window.

|
|
|
|
2008-07-03 22:48:37 +00:00
|
|
|
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
|
2009-06-23 19:54:25 +00:00
|
|
|
Ctrl-Shift-q the current window.

## Origins
|

Terminator began by shamelessly copying code from the vte-demo.py in the vte
|
2010-03-30 19:00:39 +00:00
|
|
|
widget package, and the gedit terminal plugin (which was fantastically
|
2008-07-03 22:48:37 +00:00
|
|
|
useful at figuring out vte's API).
|
2006-11-17 04:16:58 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2008-07-03 22:48:37 +00:00
|
|
|
vte-demo.py was not my code and is copyright its original author. While it
|
|
|
|
|
does not contain any specific licensing information in it, the VTE package
|
|
|
|
|
appears to be licenced under LGPL v2.

## Licensing
|
|
|
|
|
|
2008-07-03 22:48:37 +00:00
|
|
|
The gedit terminal plugin is part of the gedit-plugins package, which is
|
|
|
|
|
licenced under GPL v2 or later.
|
2006-11-17 04:16:58 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2007-07-28 01:29:32 +00:00
|
|
|
I am thus licensing Terminator as GPL v2 only.
