README

Terminator 0.9
by Chris Jones <cmsj@tenshu.net> and several others.

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 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

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

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.
