====== Terminal Emulator ====== As a Linux Power User, you simply **can't do without a terminal** emulator application. Although "Terminal" is readily available in Linux Mint LMDE, it might come short of a few bells and whistles that make some alternatives attractive for one reason or the other. Here are two of my favorites on that field: Terminator and Guake. ===== Terminator ===== When it comes to Terminator, some say it is the most powerful terminal emulator on Linux. It is feature-filled, has tabs, allows arranging terminals in a grid, configure a ton of keyboard shortcuts, and more. You can even save custom layouts for later, so when you're running a few regular tasks, you can open up your custom grid with just a few keystrokes. Best of all, it is available straight from the "Software Manager" application, where you'll even get a pretty recent version by the way (if you made the [[install:upgrade-up7|UP7 upgrade]] that is). {{ :applications:devtools:terminals:softwaremanager-terminator.png?direct&200 |}} ===== Guake ===== Guake is also immediately available from the "Software Manager" application. {{ :applications:devtools:terminals:softwaremanager-guake.png?direct&200 |}} The big originality (and advantage) of Guake is that it creates a dropdown Terminal window that you can access via any keystroke (combination) you like. Letting you access a terminal window in no time, and making the switch from Terminal to Desktop a breeze. Combining the "full screen" keystroke shortcut with the activation shortcut you have a pretty quick way of accessing a full screen terminal in no time ! I recommend you give Guake a try...
