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
|
|
|
|
|
method).

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
|

Terminator began by shamelessly copying code from the vte-demo.py in the vte
|
|
|
|
|
widget package, and on the gedit terminal plugin (which was fantastically
|
|
|
|
|
useful at figuring out vte's API).

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.

The gedit terminal plugin is part of the gedit-plugins package, which is
|
|
|
|
|
licenced under GPL v2 or later.

I am thus licensing Terminator as GPL v2 only.
