|
|
<p>This page is an introduction and tutorial that will get you familiar
|
|
with Terminator’s features. Additional functional areas are explored
|
|
in other pages, but at the end of this page you’ll be getting a good
|
|
idea of the power of Terminator.</p>
|
|
<p>When you first start Terminator you will get a default, minimal window,
|
|
looking something like the following:</p>
|
|
<img alt="_images/basic_window.png" src="_images/basic_window.png" />
|
|
<p>There may be some cosmetic differences, but it should look fairly
|
|
similar. It may in fact look a little too minimal to some of you, but
|
|
this is a deliberate policy. Keep the focus on the terminal, not on a
|
|
cluttered interface. This is why we don’t waste space on a traditional
|
|
menu bar and toolbar. Even the terminal scrollbar and titlebar (the
|
|
red strip) can be turned off, although you do lose ease-of-access to
|
|
some of Terminators more powerful features if you do.</p>
|
|
<p>Many functions are triggered with keyboard shortcuts. But mousers aren’t
|
|
completely abandoned. Lets look again at the basic interface, but with
|
|
the two primary menus showing:</p>
|
|
<img alt="_images/window_breakdown.png" src="_images/window_breakdown.png" />
|
|
<div class="admonition note">
|
|
<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
|
|
<p class="last">You will never see a window that looks like this, as it is
|
|
impossible to have both menus up at the same time.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<ol class="arabic">
|
|
<li><p class="first"><a class="reference internal" href="#context-menu"><span>The Context Menu</span></a> -
|
|
This is the main menu reached with <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">right-click</span></code> over a terminal, and
|
|
will let you access all the settings, profiles, shortcuts and
|
|
configurations. It is however kept brief to avoid the mega-menus that
|
|
sometimes grow unchecked.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p class="first"><a class="reference internal" href="grouping.html#grouping-menu"><span>The Grouping Menu</span></a> -
|
|
This is reached with a <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">click</span></code> on the trio of coloured boxes in the
|
|
titlebar. Later, when we cover Grouping and broadcasting to multiple
|
|
terminals we will cover this properly. For now it is enough to know
|
|
where it is and how to trigger it.</p>

<p>The second section is where the fun starts. <strong>Split Horizontally</strong> and <strong>Split
|
|
Vertically</strong> are used to divide the current space for the current terminal
|
|
half. Your original terminal takes the top/left half, and a new terminal
|
|
is started and placed in the right/bottom half. You can repeat this as
|
|
often as you wish, sub-dividing down until the terminals are completely
|
|
impractical. Here’s a window that is split Horizontally, Vertically, and
|
|
Horizontally again:</p>
|
|
<img alt="_images/split_window.png" src="_images/split_window.png" />
|
|
<p>Between the terminals you can see a space that is a splitter grab handle.
|
|
You can grab these and drag them, and the terminals will resize. In this
|
|
way Terminator acts a lot like a tiling window manger. It lets you arrange
|
|
many terminals in a single view, allowing adjustments as your needs change.</p>
|
|
<p>The last item in this part of the menu is to <strong>Open tab</strong>. This will give
|
|
you a tab like most other terminal programs. Unlike most other terminals,
|
|
in Terminator you can also split the terminals in each tab as often as you
|
|
like.</p>
|
|
<div class="admonition note">
|
|
<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
|
|
<p class="last">The same effects could have been achieved with <a class="reference internal" href="#layout-shortcuts"><span>shortcuts</span></a>, and is the case for most actions.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>The third part of the menu will <strong>Close</strong> the current terminal. It’s on
|
|
its own to prevent accidents.</p>
|
|
<p>The entries in the fourth part allow you to temporarily focus on one
|
|
terminal. <strong>Zoom terminal</strong> will zoom into the current terminal hiding all
|
|
other terminals and tabs, and increasing the the size of the font. This can
|
|
be handy to eliminate distractions, give yourself a bit more space for the
|
|
current task, or even when giving presentations or training. <strong>Maximise
|
|
terminal</strong> is almost identical, except that it does not increase the size of
|
|
the terminal font.</p>
|
|
<p>When you are zoomed or maximised it is not possible to split terminals,
|
|
or create new tabs, so the entries for those actions disappear from
|
|
the menu. So too do the zoom and maximise options, and in their place is
|
|
a <strong>Restore all terminals</strong> entry. This will take you back to your windows
|
|
original layout, and restore the font size if necessary.</p>

|
<div class="admonition warning">

<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Ctrl</span></code>+<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">wheelup</span></code>/<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">wheeldown</span></code> to increase and
|
|
decrease the font size if this happens. This will not
|
|
affect the restored font size.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>The fifth part of the menu has three items. <strong>Show scrollbar</strong> will toggle
|
|
the scrollbar on a per terminal basis. There is also a way to define this

in the Profiles. <strong>Preferences</strong> lets you configure and tune Terminator to

|
better suit your needs and is further described <a class="reference internal" href="preferences.html#preferences"><span>here</span></a>.
|
|
Lastly, <strong>Encodings</strong> will allow you to select a different encoding to the
|
|
default of UTF-8.</p>
|
|
<p>There are actually additional optional items that can be added to the

menu that will only be shown if you enable those <a class="reference internal" href="plugins.html#plugins"><span>Plugins</span></a> that

|
|
<p>I’ve already used the term <em>layout</em> a few times in this page already.
|
|
I should define what exactly is meant by a layout.</p>
|
|
<p>A layout describes the collection of windows in the current process,
|
|
the tabs, and how the windows and tabs are divided up into terminals.
|
|
It also includes the positions, dimensions, as well as other aspects
|
|
related to how Terminator looks.</p>
|
|
<p>Besides the items in the <a class="reference internal" href="#context-menu"><span>The Context Menu</span></a> there are three main
|
|
methods to adjust the layout.</p>

<div class="section" id="using-the-splitters">
|
|
<h3>Using the splitters<a class="headerlink" href="#using-the-splitters" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
|
|
<p>So, by now you’ve probably made a few splits and used the mouse to drag them
|
|
about, and you now have something resembling the following, minus the highlights:</p>
|
|
<img alt="_images/rebalance_01.png" src="_images/rebalance_01.png" />
|
|
<p>Terminator lets us <em>rebalance</em> the terminals, equally dividing the available
|
|
space between the <em>siblings</em>.</p>
|
|
<p>The different highlighting shows the siblings. The key thing to understand is
|
|
that the blue splitters are considered siblings, which are <em>children</em> of the
|
|
green <em>parent</em>. The green is itself a child of the red parent. By double-clicking
|
|
the splitter, the space will be divided evenly between the siblings. So,
|
|
double-clicking any of the blue splitters will give:</p>
|
|
<img alt="_images/rebalance_02.png" src="_images/rebalance_02.png" />
|
|
<p>If instead we <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">double-click</span></code> on the green splitter, we get:</p>
|
|
<img alt="_images/rebalance_03.png" src="_images/rebalance_03.png" />
|
|
<p>But there’s more! We can use two modifier keys to rebalance more collections of

siblings. <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Shift</span></code>+<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">double-click</span></code> the splitter and all children,

<h3>Dragging and dropping a terminal<a class="headerlink" href="#dragging-and-dropping-a-terminal" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
|
|
<p>There are two ways to drag a terminal from one location to another with in the
|
|
window. The simplest is to use the titlebar at the top of each terminal. Simply
|
|
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">click-drag</span></code>, and you will be able to hover over the other terminals and drop
|
|
the dragged terminal to move it:</p>
|
|
<img alt="_images/dragterminal_01.png" src="_images/dragterminal_01.png" />
|
|
<p>Here you can see a preview of the dragged terminal - scaled if large - and shading
|
|
to show which area it will cover, which can be the top, bottom, left or right of
|
|
an existing terminal.</p>
|
|
<p>The above action results in the following:</p>
|
|
<img alt="_images/dragterminal_02.png" src="_images/dragterminal_02.png" />
|
|
<p>The other way to drag a terminal can be done from within the terminal with
|
|
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Ctrl</span></code>+<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">right-click-drag</span></code>. With this method once you start the
|
|
drag, you <em>must</em> release the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Ctrl</span></code> key <em>before</em> releasing the
|
|
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">right-mouse-button</span></code>. If you do not the drag will cancel.</p>
|
|
<p>You can drag between tabs by initiating a drag and hovering over the tab.
|
|
Terminator will switch to the tab under the cursor, you can then drag to the
|
|
desired position, and the terminal can be dropped.</p>
|
|
<p>You can also drag between Terminator windows <em>provided the windows are part
|
|
of the same process</em>. By default all windows will be part of the same process.
|
|
Windows will not be part of the same process if you deliberately turn off
|
|
the <a class="reference internal" href="advancedusage.html#dbus"><span>DBus</span></a> interface with the <a class="reference internal" href="preferences.html#preferences"><span>Preferences</span></a> or the
