This is a little python script to give me lots of terminals in a single window, saving me valuable laptop screen space otherwise wasted on window decorations and not quite being able to fill the screen with terminals.
6
Right now it will open a single window with one terminal and it will (to some degree) mirror the settings of your default gnome-terminal profile in gconf. Eventually this will be extended and improved to offer profile selection per-terminal, configuration thereof and the ability to alter the number of terminals and save meta-profiles.
8
You can create more terminals by right clicking on one and choosing to split it vertically or horizontally. You can get rid of a terminal by right clicking on it and choosing Close. ctrl-shift-o and ctrl-shift-e will also effect the splitting.
10
ctrl-shift-n and ctrl-shift-p will shift focus to the next/previous terminal respectively, and ctrl-shift-w will close the current terminal and ctrl-shift-q the current window

The goal of this project is to produce a useful tool for arranging terminals.
5
It is inspired by programs such as gnome-multi-term, quadkonsole, etc. in that
6
the main focus is arranging terminals in grids (tabs is the most common default
7
method, which Terminator also supports).
9
When you run Terminator, you will get a terminal in a window, just like almost
10
every other terminal emulator available. There is no other GUI apart from the
11
context menu on each terminal, but there is a configuration file which can be
12
used to control the behaviours and settings of Terminator (see the manpage
13
"terminator_config"). If you use GNOME then the settings for your default
14
gnome-terminal profile will be used (you can specify an alternate profile on

It's quite shamelessly based on code in the vte-demo.py from the vte widget package, and on the gedit terminal plugin (which was fantastically useful).

Terminator began by shamelessly copying code from the vte-demo.py in the vte

widget package, and on the gedit terminal plugin (which was fantastically

useful at figuring out vte's API).
