Terminator – Splitting Terminal Emulator

Monday, January 12th, 2009

I use terminals a lot. Some years ago, there was a terminal emulator called Gnome-multi-terminal, which could be split horizontally and vertically, and thus giving optimum workspace usage when using many terminals. Gnome-multi-terminal wasn’t being maintained anymore (or at least not regularly) and started displaying some buggy behaviour in newer versions of Debian and Ubuntu.

I’ve searched for a replacement for a long time, but was never able to find one. Now I finally have: Terminator.

Here’s a screenshot:
