I am using a terminator layout to start multiple terminals, and would like to call an alias at each terminal start which is defined in my .bash_aliases (called by both .bashrc and .profile). Terminator unfortunately doesn't know about those aliases when starting the terminals. How can I fix that? I start terminator with this command: terminator -l my_layout -f EDIT: As a temporary solution, I ssh -A -YC into myself and then run the alias. All this as a custom command.

I just downloaded terminator 0.97. I have several profiles in my configuration file (~/.config/terminator/config). I don't usually work with the default profile. One issue is the problem of keeping the same colour scheme across window splits and when creating new tabs. When I select my solarized color scheme and open e.g. a new tab, it automatically jumps to the default profile. I used to have a patch downloaded from the internet. However, I can't find it anymore. Does anybody know about this patch ? I really love the fact that you can split windows easily.

I'm making a custom Terminator layout and specifying custom commands for different tabs. Ruby on Rails commands work fine: However my node commands do not start, and I can't determine why. My node, npm command looks something like this: After starting Terminator, the tab that runs npm start shows this: -/bin/bash: npm: command not found If I run npm start manually it starts normally. I think this has to do with access rights or something, because when I run Terminator through the console instead of the GUI, all my custom commands start and run perfectly, including node commands.

In the 'Terminator' terminal emulator I can rename windows using: Alt+T. Does anyone know of a keyboard shortcut (or how to create one) for renaming tabs?

I am able to start terminator 1.92 on a Red Hat 8 server. The main window opens, then I right click Preferences; **the preferences window does not open**. Instead this message is produced in the original Terminal:

Failed to find preferences.glade
'ascii' codec can't decide byte 0xe2 in position 35581: ordinal not in range(128)

More info Don't think Terminator is reading the ~/.config/terminator/config file. Tried adding the line Font = Fixed 20 as an oblivious change from the default then restarting Terminator. The font size did not change from the default. Terminator was installed by the network admin for all users.

To make things more readable, I'd like to put a little more margin between lines of text. I couldn't find an answer with man terminator_config or any of the Preferences panes.

I want to open Terminator in a specific directory, for example /home/downloads/, and then run a command. I did the first part by this "custom command": cd /home/downloads; bash Terminator now starts in this directory, but how I can do the second part? Now that terminator was started in the downloads directory, I want to run any command I want, for example ls or rake command or use some aliases as commands. How can I do this? I press right mouse button in terminator and choose Parameters, then Layouts, then i add text in Custom command section. All these must be carried out automatically after the terminator start.

I use Terminator as a terminal emulator and I like it a lot, I would just like to do one thing and I haven't been able to find out how to do it. So, I know how I can right-click, go to preferences, and select the color profile and font. Then when I'm done, the terminator instance that I accessed preferences from reflects the updates that I've just made (i.e. the colors/fonts are different). I'd like to be able to do this but by manually editing the configuration file at ~/.config/terminator/config and then having an active terminator session reload the config file, then reflect those changes without having to restart the emulator. Is there a way to do this?--Some sort of command to send to terminator to tell it to reload itself from the config file without having to close the actual program? I feel like this should be possible because if I manually edit the configurations through the GUI, the changes are reflected without the process needing to be restarted.

I'd like to be able to add frames (not tabs) to terminator from gnome-pie or something similar. "--help" didn't seem to have anything, but do you guys?

I'm using Ubuntu 22.04 and I have a terminator process that runs as my local user on boot, while I also have SSH access to the machine. I want to open a tab on the terminator window running under my username via SSH, and run a script as root in the tab that opens without needing to enter the password on the local machine. Is there any way to do this easily? To clarify, I'd like to have a script where I enter the password via the SSH session, check if it's correct, and then launch the script (or multiple scripts) in separate tabs as my user (so they open in the terminator window my user is running), but run the scripts mentioned in the SSH script using sudo with the password provided via SSH.

Using terminator, I want to create tabs with distinct profiles running a custom command in place of a shell. For example I want to create a tab with distinct colors that executes a custom command like "sudo bash" or "ssh somewhere.local". I can create profiles with colors, and thru the "Command" tab I can select/fill-in "Run a custom command ...", BUT these custom commands only execute when I create a new separate window using: terminator -p otherprofile Merely changing the profile of an existing tab does not cause the custom command to execute, and there seems no way to create a tab with a selected initial profile. This sort of thing can be done with gnome-terminal and mate-terminal, btw. Since these custom-command tabs will be created and eliminated based on need, I don't believe that the terminator 'layout' feature will help.

Commands from other tabs displaying with duplicated chars, multiple times. I'm so confused because it happens even for passwords! My actions: 1. I use terminator terminal emulator https://launchpad.net/terminator 2. open two tabs 3. start working in the first 4. switch to the second one and see this How can I solve this problem?

I've discovered the joy saving Terminator layouts and adding commands to ~/.config/terminator/config that are run when it starts up. I've also discovered that hitting Ctrl+c to stop a watch command for a moment can't be followed by an up arrow to restart the watch because the command isn't in the history. Here's an ugly work around that only prints the command: command = (set -x; watch "date") && bash || bash This allows copying the command after Ctrl+c but who has time for that? I want my up arrow to work. Hoping some bash magic can fix this. Using terminator 1.91 in RHEL

I have a long and complex line of text in Windows 10/Notepad. I want to copy/paste or use key combos to insert it in a Ubuntu/Terminator window. (Terminator is running in Xfce, accessed via Remote Desktop Connection.) I swear I did this a long time ago, but I cant remember how :-( Any help greatly appreciated...

I am running Ubuntu 16 and has Terminator installed, for some strange reason copy/paste either through keyboard shortcut or right-click mouse menu would stop working on certain terminator windows, it would still work on other terminator windows when this happens, the only way that I can fix this is to restart the bad terminator window. Anyone else experience this and is there a quick fix for it? Thanks.

I am not able to install Terminator in Rhel 8. I do not want to install it using "snap". The process that used to work in Rhel 7 does not work in Rhel8.

Sometimes I get Terminator panes hanged, probably due to network or remote host failure. How to close such a pane without affecting other panes? *** If Midnight commander was ran, then right click menu doesn't work. If terminal was hanged while MC was running, right-click also doesn't work.

I have saved a few Terminator profiles with different colors etc. How is it possible to activate a specific profile from the command line, or initially run terminator with a specific profile? The main goal is to be able to activate profile "Prod" when we ssh to production, and "Stage" when we ssh to the staging-environment. So if there is such a terminator option then an alias can run the ssh command and then change the profile adequately.

I love the [Tree Style Tab](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tree-style-tab/) extension for organizing tabs in Firefox. In fact, I would like to use it to organize my open terminal windows too! I don't want to launch a terminal window from within Firefox or launch Firefox from a terminal. I want to be able to view and type in a terminal in a Firefox tab, *as if it were a web page*. I'm running Ubuntu 20.40. **Idea 1 - an embedded app**: I searched for Firefox extensions which allow running a terminal or application in Firefox--perhaps conceptually like Microsoft's [Object Linking and Embedding](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_Linking_and_Embedding)--but came up empty. **Idea 2 - VNC**: With noVNC (sudo snap install novnc and novnc --listen 6081 --vnc localhost:5901) and x11vnc (sudo apt install -y x11vnc and xwininfo to get the window ID and x11vnc -rfbport 5901 -id 0x4000007 -viewonly), I can view the given window within Firefox. However, running the above without -viewonly makes the mouse jump from Firefox to the real terminal window whenever I try to type in the terminal within Firefox. This might be solved by launching the real terminal in a dummy display which has its own mouse pointer, but I don't know how to do that. (I'm currently using X11, but would very much appreciate a solution that works on Wayland too.) **Idea 3 - ssh client**: Another approach is a web-based ssh client or ssh Firefox extension. [SSHGate](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/sshgate-ssh-client-terminal/) might work, but it only has 2 stars and hasn't been updated for 5 years. Also, [Shell from a Firefox tab](https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/39535/shell-from-a-firefox-tab) suggests [FireSSH](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firessh/) , but it is no longer available. What approach would you suggest for running a terminal within a Firefox tab on Ubuntu?

My wish is that I would have the ability to enlarge and reduce the size of the terminal (I use terminator) at will. For example, that by giving the command resize 600-400, I can resize my terminator window. Is it possible? And if terminator is not capable of it, is there any other terminal that can do that?
