Working with terminals is quite
interesting and quite straight forward , today's tech explosive I
encountered was on configuring the Ubuntu (perhaps will be
applicable for almost all the linux tools) terminal for quick
access and for swift development. These are some of the additional
softwares and steps which can be used for interactive terminal
configuration.
Running Multiple Terminals
Simultaneously
Terminator is an interactive tool which
will allow multiple terminals function at the same time. More
information on this tool can be refereed from
http://www.apt-get.co.uk/apt_get_terminator.html.
In summary the tool can be download
from execution of the command 'apt-get install terminator'
in the
Ubuntu console.
Smooth Navigation
Navigation between
the directories from the terminal can be quite a tedious task for
quite lengthy directory structures. 'nautilus-open-terminal' is an
interesting tool which will allow a user to open the terminal from a
navigated directory, simply through right clicking the mouse and
opening up the terminal. More information of the tool can be refereed
from
http://www.linuxnix.com/2010/01/ubuntu-right-click-to-open-a-terminal.html.
The application
can be downloaded 'apt-get install nautilus-open-terminal', once
downloaded re start the machine.
Simultaneous
Action with Smooth Navigation
As discussed
through the above topics, for a developer friendly environment it
requires integration of both the features. The good news is that is
it's possible !
This can be done
through installation of a package nautilus-actions by execution of
sudo apt-get install nautilus-actions
After the installation run
configuration tool
nautilus-actions-config-tool
Once the
configuration is executed add new item, Name it "Open with
Terminator..."
In the command tab
full path :
/usr/bin/terminator
parameters :
--working-directory=%d/%b
Then logout and
login.. You are good to go !
