|
|
~/.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.
|
|
|
|

Default value: \fBFalse\fR
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B scroll_tabbar \fR(boolean)
|
|
If set to True, the tab bar will not fill the width of the window. The titlebars of the tabs will only take as much space as is necessary for the text they contain. Except, that is, if the tabs no longer fit the width of the window - in that case scroll buttons will appear to move through the tabs.
