.SH "NAME"
|
|
~/.config/terminator/config \- the config file for Terminator terminal emulator.

|
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
|
|
This manual page documents briefly the
|
|
.B Terminator config file.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fBterminator/config\fP is an optional file to configure the terminator terminal emulator. It is used to control options not in gnome-terminal gconf profiles, or override gconf settings.
|
|
.SH "FILE LOCATION"
|
|
Normally the config file will be ~/.config/terminator/config, but it may be overridden with $XDG_CONFIG_HOME (in which case it will be $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/terminator/config)
|
|
.SH "FILE FORMAT"
|
|
This is what a Terminator config file should look like:
|
|
|
|
# This is a comment
|
|
font = Fixed 10
|
|
background_color = #000000
|
|
foreground_color = "#FFFFFF" #Another comment. Quotes can be used for any value
|
|
scrollback_lines = '500' #More comment. Single quotes are valid too
|
|
cursor_blink = True
|
|
custom_command = "echo \\"foo#bar\\"" #Final comment - this will work as expected.
|
|
|
|
[keybindings]
|
|
full_screen = <Ctrl><Shift>F11
