Can the sizes of Terminator terminals be saved in a layout?

Tags:

terminator

I've been trying to configure Terminator to respect the sizes of my terminals. Is this possible? As it is, each time I reopen Terminator I have to resize a couple of the terminals to the configuration I want.

Preferences doesn't seem to have the option of configuring this. It only appears to allow me to set splits but not terminal sizes.

What I want it to look like: Proper layout

But this is what it looks like when I open Terminator: Improper layout

I end up having to resize the two terminals in the lower right each time I open Terminator. Is it possible to have the resize happen as part of the configured layout?

How do you save a terminator layout?

Just create your custom layout and Right Click->Preference->Layout->default and Press the save button. Now our configuration is saved as the default configuration. From next launch of the terminator, we will get the custom layout at the startup itself. Found this to be the easiest solution of them all here.

How do you set the size of a terminator?

Open Terminator, then adjust its window's size and position as desired. In the Terminator window, in the command-line area, right-click then choose Preferences. In the Layouts tab, expand the Type / Name list, select Terminal1, then click Save. Exit the Preferences dialog, then close and re-open Terminator.

Where are terminator profiles stored?

User-specific configurations can be found in ~/. config/terminator/config .

Thellien seems to be using OpenSUSE, and Thell's answer was Ubuntu specific.

If you cannot (or do not want to) use the nightlies, you can check out the trunk with

bzr branch lp:terminator

Which will give you a local terminator folder. I'd strongly recommend removing any existing Terminator package at this point, or you might anger the package manager gods. Then

cd terminator
python setup.py install

You may be interested to know that 0.98 was released a day or two ago, and there is also an early rough port to GTK3 and updated libvte in the works. Whether 0.98 will appear in your distros repos anytime will depend entirely on their SRU policies.
