There are times when one needs to open multiple Terminal windows to avoid complications and thats when one wishes there were a software to help one out. Terminator is a application which allows you to arrange and add multiple terminals in a single terminal window. Its unbelievably useful and honestly, in my opinion, this is one software you should try out.
Take a look at this screenshot. This is a Terminator window which has been split horizontally and vertically in order to enable multiple tasks separately in a single terminal window under different tabs:
The process of splitting windows is as simple as right clicking and then selecting horizontal or vertical split:
How to install:
Terminator is available in the Ubuntu Software Center and you can install it from there.
Alternate method:
If you want to stay updated to the very latest version of Terminator, you need to add its repository. Go to Accessories > Terminal and type the following:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome-terminator
Next type the following in the Terminal:
sudo apt-get update
And finally, type the following in the Terminal:
sudo apt-get install terminator
