  2. Click Preferences

3. Select Profiles (layout) and select according to the mark in the figure. You can customize the name at Default.

4. Follow the preceding steps to find the config file and edit it.

My config contents:

[global_config]
  enabled_plugins = CustomCommandsMenu, LaunchpadCodeURLHandler, APTURLHandler, LaunchpadBugURLHandler
  handle_size = -3
  inactive_color_offset = 1.0
  suppress_multiple_term_dialog = True
  title_transmit_bg_color = "#3e3838"
  title_transmit_fg_color = "# 000000"
[keybindings]
[layouts]
  [[default]]
    [[[child1]]]
      parent = window0
      profile = default
      type = Terminal
    [[[window0]]]
      parent = ""
      size = 925, 570
      type = Window
[plugins]
[profiles]
  [[default]]
    background_color = "#1e1e1e"Background_darkness = 0.8 background_image = None background_type = transparent cursor_color ="#e8e8e8"
    cursor_shape = ibeam
    font = Ubuntu Mono 14
    foreground_color = "#e8e8e8"
    palette = "#292424:#5a8e1c:#2d5f5f:#cdcd00:#1e90ff:#cd00cd:#00cdcd:#d6d9d4:#4c4c4c:#868e09:#00ff00:#ffff00:#4682b4:#ff00ff:#00ffff :#ffffff"

The beautified Terminator

Three, commonly used shortcut keys

Ctrl + Shift + O Split the terminal horizontally (split the upper and lower Windows) Ctrl + Shift + E Split the terminal vertically (split the left and right Windows) Ctrl + Shift + W Close the current terminal Ctrl + Shift + X Zoom in (restore) the current terminal Ctrl + Shift + G Clear the screen Ctrl + Shift + Right/Left Move the splicer bar to the Right/Left of a vertically split terminal Ctrl + Shift + S Hide/show the scroll bar Ctrl + Shift + Q Close all terminals (exit the program) F11 Full screen

Four, can not open or flash back problem

The default version of the terminator is Python3. X, and the Terminator is based on Python2, so it will cause problems. The solution is as follows: Terminal input:

sudo gedit /usr/share/terminator/terminator
Copy the code

I’m going to put the first row in the first row#! /usr/bin/pythonModified to#! /usr/bin/python2Then terminator can be opened, the pro test is available.
