How To Manage Multiple Terminal using Terminator 0.97

To Manage Multiple Terminal using Terminator 0.97

Terminator 0.97 is an open-source terminal emulator programmed in Java. Terminator is licensed under the GNU General Public License. It allows you to use multiple splitted and resized terminals, all at once on a single screen. Installation of Terminator 0.97 is explained in this article.

Features

• Automatic Logging - Complete logs are automatically generated for all the user' s in the terminal sessions.
• Drag & Drop - Text and URLs, and even files from Finder/Nautilus/Windows Explorer can be dropped on Terminator to be inserted as text, with automatic quoting of filenames containing shell meta-characters.
• Find - Terminator provides you with a find function so users can search for text and regular expressions within their terminal (including the scrollback), highlighting them all, in the data-style of less, and offering quick movement to the next or previous match.
• Horizontal Scrolling - Most terminal emulators wrap text when it intrudes upon the right margin. Terminator instead provides a horizontal scrollbar when necessary.
• Multiple Tabs - Like tabbed browsing, only with terminals, tabbed terminals.
• Safe Quit - Terminator knows when you still have processes running, and brings up a dialog rather than just letting those processes die.
• UTF-8 - Terminator does not mangle accented characters, and it copes well with languages such as Greek where there' s a mix of normal and wide glyphs.
• Unlimited Scrollback - Terminator does not throw away output when it scrolls off the top of the screen, nor when it reaches any arbitrary limit. The user must manually clear the scrollback.
• Intelligent Vertical Scrolling - Terminator' s scrollbar won' t keep jumping when there' s output if you' ve deliberately scrolled back to look at part of the history, but as soon as you scroll back to the bottom again, it will resume auto-scrolling.
