Let’s work through them one by one.</p>

<p>These settings are defaults, but some of them can be overridden by a

<p>You should already be familiar with the sub-tabs from GNOME Terminal,

it makes sense, and give much of the same functionality. Bear in mind that

some of these differences are due to changes in the underlying VTE

<p>Layouts are the primary means for saving collections of windows,

tabs, and terminals. The use and flexibility of layouts is covered in

<a class="reference internal" href="layouts.html#layouts"><span>Layouts and the Layout Launcher</span></a>. Here we will cover the bare minimum to understand the

|
configuration options.</p>
|

<p>In the left list is the saved layouts, with three buttons below:</p>
|
|
<ul class="simple">
|
|
<li><em>Add</em> - Creates a new layout from the current windows, tabs and
|
|
terminals, and saves them with a new name.</li>
|
|
<li><em>Remove</em> - Delete the selected layout</li>
|
|
<li><em>Save</em> - Update the selected layout with the current windows, tabs,
|
|
and terminals.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Once a layout is highlighted, it’s name can be changed by clicking it
|
|
again.</p>
|
|
<p>In the central list is a tree showing the structure of the selected
|
|
layout. When highlighting an entry of type Terminal, the controls on
|
|
the right become enabled, and can be changed.</p>
