Menu
The following options can be used to start Multi Gnome Terminal. These will over-ride any saved configuration settings.
- --versionShow the current Multi Gnome Terminal version information, then exit.
- --usageShow 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.
- --lastlogAlways create a lastlog entry for each terminal login.
- --nolastlogDo not create a lastlog entry for each terminal login.
- Magicka 2 1 0. --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)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.
Free Serial Port Terminal 1.0.0.710 add to watchlist send us an update. 1 screenshot: runs on: Windows 2008 Windows 2003 Windows 7 Windows Vista 32/64 bit Windows XP 32/64 bit Windows 2K file size. Type terminal and this wil show terminal.app then press Enter or click the Save button. Assign a keyboard shortcut to that trigger by clicking on Keyboard and a slide out window wil, er, slide out. Then, lastly, click on the empty box after Shortcut: and press your favourite key combination. Is there any easy way to be able to use CTRL+C for copying selected text and CTRL+V for pasting in Windows terminal, just like how we use those keyboard shortcuts in notepad, word etc. CTRL+SHIFT+C does copy, but I wouldn't prefer that. Hitting enter after selecting text is another way to copy in some command programs. That doesn't work either in Windows Terminal. This is the Linux shortcut you cannot live without. It will save you so much time in the Linux. With this 1.0 release, Windows Terminal is now ready for enterprise use. The Windows Terminal is a modern, fast, efficient, powerful, and productive terminal application for users of command-line tools and shells like Command Prompt, PowerShell, and WSL.
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? ;-) |
Microsoft today announced the release of Windows Terminal 1.2 which includes all the features that were available in the Windows Terminal Preview 1.2. Microsoft today also announced the release of Windows Terminal Preview 1.3 with several new feature such as command palette, advanced tab switcher and more. Read about them in detail below.
Command palette
The command palette is finally here! This new feature allows you to search through all of the commands available to you in Windows Terminal, similar to the one found in Visual Studio Code. You can invoke the command palette by typing
Ctrl+Shift+P
. If you’d like to change this key binding, you can add the commandPalette
command to the keybindings
array in your settings.json.The command palette has two modes: action mode and command line mode. Action mode is the mode you will enter by default and will list all of your Windows Terminal commands. Command line mode can be entered by typing
>
and you can then enter any wt
command, which will be invoked on the current window.You can also customize actions you’d like to add to the command palette by adding commands to your settings.json file. Your key bindings should automatically populate the command palette. Full documentation on how to add your own commands can be found on our docs site.

Advanced tab switcher
We have added an advanced tab switcher to help you navigate more easily between your tabs. This is enabled by default with the
useTabSwitcher
global setting. When enabled, the nextTab
and prevTab
commands will use the tab switcher. By default, these keyboard shortcuts are Ctrl+Tab
and Ctrl+Shift+Tab
, respectively.Image tab switcher, image
Tab color setting
You can now specify a tab color for each profile! This can be done by adding the
tabColor
setting to a profile and setting it to a color in hex format.? TIP: Set your tab color to the same color as your background for a seamless experience!
New commands
Terminal Keyboard Shortcut Mac
We have added some new commands that you can add to your key bindings in your settings.json file. None of the following commands are bound by default.
wt
commands as a key binding
We have added the ability to execute wt.exe command line arguments with key bindings. This can be done with the
wt
command. The commandline
property defines the command line arguments you would like to invoke on the current window. More information on wt
command line arguments can be found on our docs site.Send input to the shell
If you want to send input to the shell by using a keyboard shortcut, you can do so with the
sendInput
command. (Thanks @lhecker!)Tab search
Open Windows Terminal Keyboard Shortcut
If you are someone who has a lot of tabs open (like myself), this new command is a life saver. You can now search through your tabs in a new search box using the
tabSearch
command.Image tab search, image
