Terminator

by Chris Jones cmsj@tenshu.net and others

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 method, which Terminator also supports).

When you run Terminator, you will get a terminal in a window, just like almost 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.

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. Also from the right mouse menu you can access Terminator's preferences window.

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.

For more keyboard shortcuts and also the command line options, please see the manpage "terminator". For configuration options, see the manpage "terminator_config".

Contributing

Any help is welcome with the Terminator project.

You can find old bugs and questions in the launchpad project, but please don't post anything new there.

Origins

Terminator began by shamelessly copying code from the vte-demo.py in the vte widget package, and 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.

Licensing

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.

Cristian Grada provided the old icon under the same licence. Cory Kontros provided the new icon under the CC-by-SA licence. For other authorship information, see debian/copyright
