I am using ubuntu terminal for my project and at times I need more than 5 terminals to be open at the same time and kind of juggle between them to see outputs of multiple programs running simultaneously. I am having hard time toggling between the terminals. Is there something that will hold all terminals together in one window and make my life simpler? I read somewhere that konsole does that for me, but I cannot bring up konsole for some reason and I am getting an error : bash: konsole: command not found.
Any kind of info/help is greatly appreciated.
Use tmux (and eventually, tmuxinator). It may have a slight learning curve but it'll be worth it, once you have it mastered!
Here's what an example session looks like.
If you want to try Konsole, try installing it first. It's part of KDE if that helps.

Ubuntu comes with gnome iirc. It has gnome-terminal as jasonspiro pointed out.
Have you tried using multiple workspaces? I'm using ubuntu 11 and if I find that I have a terminal layout I like to keep intact I simply place all of those terminals on a 2nd workspace. This can me done by right clicking on the terminal and clicking "Move to another workspace".
Use gnome-terminal instead. http://packages.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-desktop indicates to me that it comes with Ubuntu. It lets you open multiple tabs. Press Ctrl+Shift+T or click the appropriate menu command to open a new tab.
First, consider switching to ubuntu classic desktop. In clasic desktop you can move and resize windows like in um, windows, and then have multiple terminals visible at once.
Second, consider creating new terminals in the one terminal window. This can be done with CTRLSHIFTT
Third, alhough not much more useful for your purposes than the previous suggestion, have a look at screen(1), which is old, featureful, and no longer maintained, or tmux(1), which is still maintained. Either one can be run from a terminal. Both are installable from Software Center or synaptic.
You can use gnome-terminal. The script below will open 3 tabs running the respective commands..
tab="--tab"
cmd01="bash -c 'command in 1st terminal';bash"
cmd02="bash -c 'command in 2nd terminal';bash"
cmd03="bash -c 'command in 3rd terminal';bash"
foo=""
foo+=($tab -e "$cmd01")
foo+=($tab -e "$cmd02")
foo+=($tab -e "$cmd03")
gnome-terminal "${foo[#]}"
exit 0

Started taking the 'Programming for everyone' course on Coursera to learn python. Ive downloaded 2 text editors. Atom and Pycharm. When I open the terminal both say, "The default interactive shell is now zsh. To update your account to use zsh, please run chsh -s /bin/zsh."
Please understand I'm totally new. This is the first time I've ever used a text editor or terminal so don't know where to run this or how to straighten this out. Im using a 2015 MacBook Pro running 10.15.7Image is screenshot of editor and terminal in pycahrm im in.
Yeah, it sucks. I had the same problem with Pycharm, but this solution worked for me.
1- Change zsh to bash
$ /bin/bash
2 - Get the commands back like (cd, ls, clear ...)
PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin
3 - Get the profile back
. /etc/profile
After that your porfile will look like this "username:" instead of this "%n#%m %1~ %#"
One more thing, if you using mac, open your terminal and check preference. In the preferences go to General -> Shells open with -> if it is Default Login shell which means you are using zsh, you should change to Command (complete path): and add /bin/bash in the space below so that your default change to bash.
I hope it was useful for you, and for the people looking for answers. Cause, I wasted an hour looking for solution that JetBrain Pycharm and Apple couldn't provide.
I try to be brave and switch from vi to emacs.
Now, I set up Emacs 26 on macOS via homebrew and start Emacs as daemon in the background.
I can use files using emacsclient -t. However, whenever I bring the Terminal into the background emacsclient exits within a few seconds.
See example Video here: https://cloud.familie-ganter.de/s/QwbK8cFBHnPjQ4d
I did a plain install. My init file does not contain anything except what you see in the video. The funny thing is whenever I start emacs directly in the Terminal, nothing at all happens when bringing it to the background.
What seems to be the problem?
I am lost …
I expect it to be something dumb and simple -- so please be nice, this is my first stackoverflow post.
First off:
I'm using tmux 2.5 installed via homebrew on OS X 10.12, in iTerm 2 (though the problem appears in Terminal.app as well). My tmux.conf is on Github, along with my zshrc.
The problem: Seemingly out of nowhere, I started seeing an issue with typing in the prompt. Typing keys once will display them twice, and backspacing will move the cursor forward and redraw characters already present on the line. This only happens inside of a tmux session, and not inside my "regular" terminal.
Here's a gif of the issue. In this gif, I type 1234567890, then hit backspace 9 times, and type ls. Note that 0 only shows up once, and lls with a duplicated l runs the ls command as expected.
Hopefully I just hit a weird key combo on accident, but I've been stuck on this for a while.
Thanks for any help!
Installing tmux-256color for macOS as in this guide solves the problem.
Running the following as mentioned in a github issue solved the problem for me:
brew install ncurses
$(brew --prefix)/opt/ncurses/bin/infocmp tmux-256color > ~/tmux-256color.info
tic -xe tmux-256color tmux-256color.info
infocmp tmux-256color | head
I'm also running into this issue as well. I encountered the problem similar to #artemave, by trying to change the set -g default-terminal "screen-256color" to set -g default-terminal "tmux-256color". The goal of doing this was to gain italics, per the tmux FAQ.
#taylor's answer didn't work for me, as I didn't have that command.
I managed to determine that:
The issue doesn't occur with bash
When running a blank .zshrc, backspacing creates new blank lines, but I'm not seeing the character duplication
Using tmux-256color will successfully give italic fonts
Using TERM=xterm-256color and TERM=konsole-256color does not change the above effects
Using xfce4terminal (0.8.9.1), Konsole (19.12.3), or URXVT (9.22) doesn't change the above behavior
I wasn't able to really "fix" the issue, as the even going down to a blank .tmux.conf wasn't able to change anything. Instead, I just needed to change it to anything else. xterm-256color was suggested in this issue, but I found nearly anything else would work fine.
I'll keep working on it and update this answer if I find anything else.
Edit: This tmux issue is the exact issue we're running into. I'll see if the solutions there work
https://github.com/tmux/tmux/issues/597
Edit 2: I've submitted a GitHub issue with tmux. No real results yet, but it does offer some guidance on things to check on.
The problem seems to be fixed after commenting out this line from my tmux.conf:
set -g default-command "reattach-to-user-namespace -l zsh"
I also had to manually run tmux kill-server instead of relying on just re-sourcing my conf file.
When I find some time, I'll look more into what went wrong here...
I have a "stock" xmonad install on Arch.
No changes to my xmonad.hs yet
I have installed dmenu.
It runs by alt-p, the default, and displays and filters as expected.
Chromium runs, but other items, like ranger, alsamixer or other tasks do not.
I am not finding anything anywhere about anyone having to do anything to get these items to run, nor anyone having any issues with doing so.
Surely, then, there is something wrong in my install.
my dmenu_run is as follows:
#!/bin/sh
dmenu_path | dmenu "$#" | ${SHELL:-"/bin/sh"} &
I would normally run terminology with bash or zsh. I have tried to alter the SHELL to /bin/bash, but to no avail.
Is there any other place I must look or items I should alter?
Such a shame as I am really liking xmonad so far, and want to get dmenu working before I start exploring xmonad.hs...
Thanks in advance
UPDATE: I have found the following
here over at Archwiki that involves changing dmenu_run and adding a .demenu_term in one's home. It seems to work, but still wonder if there was a more orthadox mechanism.
ranger and alsamixer are applications which run inside a terminal. Imagine (or try) to run ls via dmenu, where should the directory listing be printed to without a terminal?
You look for functionality which is provided either by prompt imported from XMonad.Prompt.Shell by using a convinient keybinding like
((modm .|. shiftMask, xK_c), prompt ("xterm" ++ " -e") greenXPConfig)
(described in the linked documentation) or shellPrompt where you execute
xterm -e alsamixer
or any other command, e.g.
feh path/to/image/you/want/to/open/now.jpg
instead of opening a terminal, running above with tailing & and exiting the terminal.
I have installed Textmate editor on my terminal and I am looking for some tutorial to discover Textmate's command lines ? Does anyone has a some links ?
Best,
Newben
The textmate bin that is optionally installed for command line access is really nothing but a simple manner to open files in the OSX gui application.
That said, there are a few handy shortcuts. -w issues a "wait" while opening the file, thus following commands in a sequence will wait until the document is closed to execute. For example:
alias bashrc="mate -w ~/.bashrc; source ~/.bashrc"
That said, if you are looking for a good command set for using within the gui itself, let me know and I will fill in a list of handy commands (it has been my default editor for 6 years now).
Edit: Here are the beginnings of my TextMate docs. I currently have the Cheat Sheet in a state that should prove useful. I will be adding to it and writing up some more extensive docs in the near future.
TextMate Cheat Sheet
You can invoke it from the command line with:
mate path/to/file/you/want/to/edit.txt
You can use more than one file, space separated. To see more options do:
mate --help
This if you installed the commandline option. which you can also do from preferences at any time (its just a symlink)
