Terminal

Using Terminix on Ubuntu Linux

Terminix is a GTK3-based terminal emulator, similar to the old Ternimator, though this one feels a bit more fancy. Honestly, Terminix has most of what Ternimator has, but overall Terminator is still the more powerful of the two. Terminix just looks nicer, so take your pick. One thing worth mentioning: Terminix integrates a bit better with Nautilus, with right-click support for opening a path directly.

Replacing Ubuntu's Default Terminal with Terminator

Ubuntu’s default terminal is Gnome-Terminal, and it always feels a bit off. Recently I tried Terminator, and I was thoroughly won over. Now this is a good terminal. But after using it, a problem came up: Ubuntu’s Unity has a bunch of shortcuts, and C+A+T launches Gnome-Terminal. Is there a way to replace them all with Terminator? I know that at first you, like me, probably thought of editing the shortcuts. Actually, there’s no need at all.
