<p>Grouping, as the name suggests, allows grouping of terminals allowing

||
|

<p>Let’s have another look at the grouping menu for reference, because
|
||
|
|
as we proceed, it will change:</p>

|
|
<p>The first item <strong>New group...</strong> allows you to create a named group,
|
||
|
|
using an editable field that will appear next to the 3-box icon. By
|
||
|
|
default this will be given a randomly selected name from the names
|
||
|
|
of the Greek alphabet. Here you can see <strong>Phi</strong> was selected:</p>
|
||
|
|
<img alt="_images/grouping_02.png" src="_images/grouping_02.png" />
|
||
|
|
<p>You can either start typing to replace the provided one with something
|
||
|
|
more descriptive, or you can accept the default with <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Return</span></code>. For
|
||
|
|
the purpose of this document I will just be using default names.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If you again click the 3-box/group button, you will see that several
|
||
|
|
new entries have been added to the menu:</p>
|
||
|
|
<img alt="_images/grouping_03.png" src="_images/grouping_03.png" />
|
||
|
|
<p>Because the terminal now has a group the first new entry is <strong>None</strong>
|
||
|
|
which will remove the grouping for this terminal.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Following that is a list of the known groups, in this case only <em>Phi</em>
|
||
|
|
so far. This list (plus the <em>None</em> entry) can be used to change the
|
||
|
|
group of this terminal.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Next are two items: <strong>Remove group Phi</strong> and <strong>Remove all groups</strong>.
|
||
|
|
You will only get the currently assigned group group as an option to
|
||
|
|
remove, as well as an option to remove all groups. This does not
|
||
|
|
close the group, but simply removes the group assignments from the
|
||
|
|
terminals.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The next option is more destructive: <strong>Close group Phi</strong> will exit
|
||
|
|
the terminals assigned to this group.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Here I’ve gone ahead and set the upper right terminal to the same
|
||
|
|
<em>Phi</em> group, and the lower left terminal to a <em>New group...</em> of
|
||
|
|
<strong>Epsilon</strong>.</p>
|
||
|
|
<img alt="_images/grouping_04.png" src="_images/grouping_04.png" />
|
||
|
|
<p>A quick glance at the menu again will show that the only change is
|
||
|
|
the addition of the <em>Epsilon</em> group to the list.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>To change a group name you can either click on <em>New group...</em> again,
|
||
|
|
or <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Shift</span></code>+<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">click</span></code> on the 3-box/group button, and the editable
|
||
|
|
field will reappear.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The current terminal is the one with focus. By clicking with key
|
||
|
|
modifiers on other terminals 3-box/group button we can speed up group
|
||
|
|
organisation. Here’s a list of mouse actions (including some already

<h2>Broadcasting input to multiple terminals<a class="headerlink" href="#broadcasting-input-to-multiple-terminals" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>So first let me describe some terminology (no pun intended).
|
||
|
|
<strong>Broadcasting</strong> is the act of sending your input to multiple
|
||
|
|
terminals. The current terminal (the one with the red titlebar by
|
||
|
|
default) is always the <strong>broadcaster</strong>. Any terminal that is in
|
||
|
|
the same group as the current terminal is a potential <strong>receiver</strong>.
|
||
|
|
I say potential because the act of broadcasting can be turned on
|
||
|
|
and off independently of the grouping.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>This can be an invaluable time-saver when having to do active
|
||
|
|
investigation across multiple machines where you would be repeating
|
||
|
|
the same commands on each of them.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Terminator’s titlebar is colour-coded to help you quickly see which
|
||
|
|
terminals are potential receivers, and whether they <em>will</em> receive
|
||
|
|
the broadcast input.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The titlebar is split into two parts. The leftmost part is the
|
||
|
|
3-box/group button that has one of three background colours as defined
|
||
|
|
in the <a class="reference internal" href="preferences.html#prefs-global"><span>Global</span></a> tab of <a class="reference internal" href="preferences.html#preferences"><span>Preferences Window</span></a>:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul class="simple">
|
||
|
|
<li><em>Red</em> - The current terminal and broadcaster.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><em>Blue</em> - A terminal that is in the same group as the broadcaster.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><em>Grey</em> - A terminal in a different group, or no group.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>The second part consists of the title, and uses the same colouring
|
||
|
|
to show the following:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul class="simple">
|
||
|
|
<li><em>Red</em> - The current terminal and broadcaster.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><em>Blue</em> - A terminal that is acting as a receiver and will duplicate
|
||
|
|
input from the broadcaster.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><em>Grey</em> - A terminal that is not a receiver.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>There are three settings for broadcasting, selected from the <em>Group
|
||
|
|
menu</em>. Following are an image of each of these modes, with <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">test</span></code>
|
||
|
|
typed into the current broadcasting terminal:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li><p class="first"><em>Broadcast off</em></p>
|
||
|
|
<img alt="_images/broadcast_01.png" src="_images/broadcast_01.png" />
|
||
|
|
<p>Here you can see that only the current terminal receives input, even
|
||
|
|
though the upper right terminal is also a part of the <em>Phi</em> group.</p>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><p class="first"><em>Broadcast all</em></p>
|
||
|
|
<img alt="_images/broadcast_02.png" src="_images/broadcast_02.png" />
|
||
|
|
<p>Here you can see that all terminals, including those in other groups,
|
||
|
|
or with no group, receive the input.</p>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><p class="first"><em>Broadcast group</em> (default mode; can be changed in the
|
||
|
|
<a class="reference internal" href="preferences.html#prefs-global"><span>Global</span></a> tab of <a class="reference internal" href="preferences.html#preferences"><span>Preferences Window</span></a>.)</p>
|
||
|
|
<img alt="_images/broadcast_03.png" src="_images/broadcast_03.png" />
|
||
|
|
<p>Here you can see that only the terminal(s) in the same group in the
|
||
|
|
same group as the broadcaster receive input.</p>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>Be careful with additional tabs, windows, or when you are zoomed or
|
||
|
|
maximised on a single terminal. Just because you cannot see a terminal
|
||
|
|
does not mean the terminal is not receiving. This can cause problems
|
||
|
|
if you are typing a destructive command without realising that this
|
||
|
|
command is going to other terminals.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Those with good eyesight may have spotted the other visual indicator
|
||
|
|
of the colours in the 3-box icon changing for the different status of
|
||
|
|
the terminals too. When you are zoomed or maximised, the presence of
|
||
|
|
blue in this icon might be the only visual indicator of receivers.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>As with all things in Terminator, we have shortcuts to help you keep
|
||
|
|
your hands on the keyboard:</p>

<p>It has become apparent that IBus causes problems with
|
||
|
|
broadcast input. When multiple keystrokes are used to
|
||
|
|
<em>compose</em> a letter, such as the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">AltGr</span></code>+<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">[</span></code>
|
||
|
|
followed by <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">a</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">o</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">u</span></code> keys to get <strong>ä</strong>,
|
||
|
|
<strong>ö</strong>, <strong>ü</strong> characters for the German language.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Instead of getting your composed letter in all receivers,
|
||
|
|
you will only get the composed letter in the current
|
||
|
|
terminal. If you copy and paste the character into the
|
||
|
|
current terminal then it will be input into the
|
||
|
|
receivers.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p class="last">You may not even realise that you are running IBus.
|
||
|
|
Killing it will temporarily fix the problem. There is
|
||
|
|
a fix for IBus and VTE, but only in the newer builds of
|
||
|
|
VTE. For that we would need the experimental GTK3
|
||
|
|
version of Terminator.</p>
