The following options can be used to start Multi Gnome Terminal. These will over-ride any saved configuration settings.
- Open Windows Terminal Keyboard Shortcut
- Mac Terminal Command Shortcut
- Terminal 1 0 1 – Your Terminal Shortcut Keys
Open Windows Terminal Keyboard Shortcut
- --versionShow the current Multi Gnome Terminal version information, then exit.
- Show all command line options, including various GNOME and GDK options, then exit.
- --helpShow command line options, including a brief description of each, then exit.
- --background COLORUsed to specify the background color for the terminal at startup. The COLOR can be any form accepted by your windowing system.
- --class WM_CLASSSpecify a Window class name for X (this is different than --tclass and --wclass, which are purely Multi Gnome Terminal functions).
- --display DISPLAYSpecify the X 'display' to be used.
- --command CMD ARGS, -e CMD ARGSExecutes the command CMD with its arguments ARGS on startup. No arguments beyond this one will be processed by the terminal. This behavior mimics the xterm -e behavior.
- --execute CMD ARGSSame as --command above, included for compatibility.
- --font FONTSets the font of the terminal to FONT
- --foreground COLORSets the foreground of the terminal to COLOR.
- --geometry GEOMETRYSpecifies the startup geometry for this terminal. The geometry specifies the desired width and height in terminal characters. For example: --geometry=80x40 will create an eighty-column by forty-line terminal. You can also specify the location of the terminal Window on the screen; for example, --geometry=80x40+100+200 will create a Window whose top left corner is 100 pixels to the right and 200 pixels down from the top left corner of the screen, while --geometry=80x40+100-200 will give a Window whose bottom left corner is 100 pixels to the right and 200 pixels up from the bottom left corner of the screen.
- --loginMake Multi Gnome Terminal launch the built-in shell (from the New Term menu) in login mode (it will run all of your login initialization scripts in this mode).
- --nologinMake Multi Gnome Terminal only launch a shell, without running any login initialization scripts. This is the default, unless you have selected Use --login by default in the Preferences dialog.
- --noutmpIndicates that this and the associated shell should not be registered in the system database of users logged into the computer.
- --utmpIndicates that the user wants this terminal to be registered in the system database of users logged into the computer (the utmp database). This is the default.
- Always create a lastlog entry for each terminal login.
- --nolastlogDo not create a lastlog entry for each terminal login.
- --wtmpRequests that this session will be logged into the system records for users that have logged into the system. This is different from `utmp' because this keeps track of who logged in and logged out of the system, independently of whether it shows up in the list of users.
- --nowtmpRequests that the session be not logged into the system records.
- --title TITLE, -t TITLEMakes Multi Gnome Terminal use TITLE for the Window title.
- --termname TERMNAMEMakes Multi Gnome Terminal use TERMNAME as the value of the TERM environment variable. This is generally not needed, but is available for those who find they do need to change it.
- --start-factory-serverTry to start the TerminalFactory service for this terminal (see below).
- --use-factoryIf there is already a terminal process started with --start-factory-server option, then running the command multi-gnome-terminal --use-factory will create a new terminal Window owned by the existing terminal process. In other words, it will have the same effect as choosing File->New Window in the existing terminal.If there is no TerminalFactory running, then this option has no effect.
- --solidForce a solid background color, i.e. turn off transparency or pixmap backgrounds.
- --pixmap FILENAMESpecifies the image filename to be used as the background for this terminal Window.
- --shadedRequests that the background be shaded (for use with --transparent and --pixmap).
- --noshadedRequests that the background remain untouched (no shading is applied).
- --transparentRequests that the terminal should run in 'pseudo-transparent' mode, making the background of the terminal Window be the same as the background of your root Window. It is not truly transparent since other Windows will not be visible through the terminal Window.
- --icon FILENAMESpecifies the filename that contains the icon image that should be used for Multi Gnome Terminal when iconified (as long as your Window Manager supports icon hints).
- -s, --tclassCLASSNAME (NEW Behavior v1.6.0)Specifies the Class for this Tab only. This effects all terminals within the Tab as well, but other Tabs may have belong to other Classes.
- -S, --wclassCLASSNAME (NEW v1.6.0)Specifies the Class shared by all Tabs of this Window. This is essentially the old behavior of --tclass.
- -w, --add-windowLaunch a new Window from the parent Window, as a sub-process. This will automatically open one Tab. This can be combined with various other options listed below.
- -W, --add-window-wt (NEW v1.5.2)Noiseless 1 0 2. Launch a new Window from the parent Window just as the above --add-window, but also open any start-up or saved Tabs for the current Class as well.
- -A, --newappUse this option to force a completely new instance of Multi Gnome Terminal so that the options listed below (e.g. --add-tab) can be utilized in a new Window as opposed to the current one.
- -T, --add-tabAdd a new Tab. --add-tab can be used to add a Tab to a new Window that is being created (see --add-window and --newapp), and also to dynamically add a new Tab to the Window that invokes the command. Example:Something fun to use with Keybindings. See example below for combining various command line options.
- -n, --tname NAMEUse this NAME for the new Tab label and shell being launched. If white space is included, use quotes.
- -h, --hsplitSplit the Tab or Window being created horizontally in equal parts.
- -v, --vsplitSplit the Tab or Window being created vertically in equal parts.
- -p, --tpath PATHChange to this PATH when starting the new Tab.
- -c, --tcommand COMMANDUse this COMMAND to launch the new shell. This can be used in conjunction with --add-tab to create a new Tab or with --add-window. Successive --tcommand's can also be invoked so as to pass arguments to the first --tcommand. Or if white space is included, the command must be in quotes. The first word should be the command in this case, and any additional words, or characters separated by white space, would be arguments to the command. Example:This creates a new Tab with the Multi Gnome Terminal man page opened. Obviously, something more suited for a key binding shortcut. Remember, once the command exits, so does the Tab.
- -x COMMANDAs above, use this COMMAND to launch the new shell, but quoting is not required with this option.
- -N, --tnextWhen creating split terminals, force the split to the next terminal being created. This is to aid in the positioning of terminals within the Window.
- -P, --tprevWhen creating split terminals, force the split to the previous terminal being created.
- --nowaitNormally, Multi Gnome Terminal waits to make sure a new terminal has in fact been created before proceeding. This option bypasses this safety net, and thus is dangerous for general usage. It should not be used -- unless you have a very good reason, and know what you are doing. In most cases, it simply is not warranted.
Mac Terminal Command Shortcut

You can assign keyboard shortcuts to the items in the Shell New Window and New Tab submenus using System Preferences Keyboard Shortcuts App Shortcuts to add shortcuts to Terminal. For example, if you add. To the preferences, typing ⌥-⌘-9 will open a new terminal window with the Homebrew profile. I added audio to your list to include volume up and down, and I suggest you to complete your answer with it – Vitor Abella Nov 15 '18 at 22:22 But, it didnt work. When I type, for example, gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys area-screenshot-clip 'L', I cant use this shortcut. Linux users: You can assign shortcuts for your most frequently used terminal commands. By appending the following line — as many times as you would like — to your bash configuration file.
Terminal 1 0 1 – Your Terminal Shortcut Keys
You can use more than one option at once. Example: This opens a new transparent Window and one Tab with vi running, and then adds another Tab (MGT1) which is split horizontally first, and then vertically, where Midnight Commander is then launched. Who says the command line is not useful? ;-) |
