Now open your terminator from main menu, that should work. In my case(Monitor resolution rate 1680x1050) it’s: Modify the command by adding the “–geometry” parameter with your prefered values. Go to “System Tools -> Terminator” item and open it Run “ alacarte“ to open the main menu editor

Then I follow the instruction to run “man X” to get the details of “–geometry” parameter:Īlthough the layout of windows on a display is controlled by the window manager that the user is running (described below), most X programs accept a command line argument of the form -geometry WIDTHxHEIGHT+XOFF+YOFF (where WIDTH, HEIGHT, XOFF, and YOFF are numbers) for specifying a preferred size and location for this application’s main window. Obviously the “–geometry” parameter does what I want. However, it shows me that we can pass parameter(s) to do such thing, it’s much easier.įirst, I run “terminator –help” to get all the supported parameters.

This article provides a way to set the size of the terminator window by changing the python code directly, which is also complicated. Refer method above is sort of complicated, I found a simpler way to do the same thing and more: a method can not only set the size of the terminator window, but also the initial position in the monitor, inspired by here. This line “size = 900, 600” is where you set the default window size. My configuration file, for instance, looks like this: 1Įnabled_plugins = CustomCommandsMenu, InactivityWatch, ActivityWatch, TerminalShot, LaunchpadCodeURLHandler, LaunchpadBugURLHandler You only need to add a line within the sub-section named ]] belonging to the ] section.

Open the file “~/.config/terminator/config” with your favorite editor. Be default, the window size is small, so it’s useful to set its default size larger. It has the multiple windows terminals capability.

Terminator is an alternative of gnome-terminal.
