Welcome to Terminator’s documentation!¶
Sometimes it is not always clear just how many little shortcuts and features there are in Terminator. This manual hopes to reduce the confusion.
A quick word on style. I have none. 😃 I have casual way of talking and writing, and a strange sense of humour. I also tend to use random pop-culture references a lot, but often in ways that make no sense. If this is a problem you are entitled to a refund of the money you paid to me to write this... 😎
What is Terminator¶
At its simplest Terminator is a terminal emulator like xterm, gnome-terminal, konsole, etc. At its most complex it lets you fly... metaphorically at least. Take a look at the following list:
- Arrange terminals in a grid-like structure
- Tabs
- Drag and drop re-ordering of terminals
- Lots of keyboard shortcuts
- Save multiple layouts and profiles via GUI preferences editor
- Simultaneous typing to arbitrary groups of terminals
- Extensible through plugins
and lots more...
In case it’s not obvious this is faked up. I use more complex setups, but I’m not putting real work into the documentation.
