ITerm2 is one of the most important features of iTerm2, not to mention theme matching, highlighting, searching, and keyboard shortcuts. Last year, the productivity tool shifted from Mac to Ubuntu, and various alternatives have been introduced, but there is still no clear choice for the terminal tool. There is also a separate screen tool called Seesmic, which many presentations say is powerful enough to play video, open file system, etc. However, the separate screen is still a fairly basic requirement and has been problematic recently. I’m looking for a new tool, Terminator! Just configured good, but also once trance thought using iTerm2

features

Remember what iTerm2 does? Let’s take a look at the official list of features provided by Terminator:

The terminal panel of the same Tab is separated

shortcuts

Set as the default terminal of GNOME desktop, such as CTRL + ALT + T tool shortcut Terminator, in addition, there are a lot of shortcut operations to be discovered

Select the copy

Terminator has a set option called “copy if checked”, which is the same as iTerm2.









Background transparency

configurable

Drag and drop the terminal

Click the title of the window to drag the window position, quick adjustment

search

The feature supports search, but I haven’t found out yet how to highlight it because the search results only indicate the number of lines.

Set the title

As shown below, Windows, tabs and terminals can all be edited by double-clicking or using shortcut keys

Clickable item

Ctrl+click will open the URL resource with the default program. See the list of supported URL types

The plug-in

There are some extensions, and it’s not sure if external plug-ins are supported. But the above features are sufficient for daily work.

The installation

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome-terminator

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install terminator

configuration

The default configuration is really ugly, the basic changes are as follows:

Preferences > Global, bottom right, select a favorite font:


Preferences > Global, bottom left, change the color of the title bar in focus, default red is too loud:


The color theme

other

You can choose to adjust according to your own preferences
