Set up Terminator on Ubuntu

Introduction

Terminator is a powerful and versatile terminal emulator for the Ubuntu and Linux operating systems. Designed to enhance the traditional terminal experience, Terminator offers a host of advanced features and customization options that make it a favorite among developers, system administrators, and power users.

Unlike the standard terminal emulator, Terminator provides the ability to split your terminal window into multiple panes, allowing you to work on multiple tasks or view multiple terminal sessions simultaneously. This feature is particularly valuable for those who work on complex projects or manage servers and systems.

Terminator also supports tabbed terminals, making it easy to organize and switch between different terminal sessions within a single window. This tabbed interface simplifies workflow management and keeps your workspace clutter-free.
