How to Select-All in Terminator
I don't have the menu bar, nor the option to show it. So I have this workaround:
- Shift + Home
- Select the first line
- Shift + End
- Shift + click on the last character
The quickest way to select all / select specific text in Gnome Terminator:
- Click at the start of the text you want to select
- Scroll the window to the end of the text you want select
- Shift + click the end of your selection
- All text between your first click and your last Shift + click is now selected
- Then you can Ctrl + Shift + C your selection out of there
It's not a keyboard shortcut, but it's a lot faster than click-and-drag to select text, that's for sure.
Your select all is disabled by default.
- Go to Menu->Preferences->Shortcuts
- From Edit selection choose "Select All"
- Then to assign press Ctrl+Shift+A
No Shortcut, use Mouse: click on Menu -> Select All
Only true for Program: Terminal
I had the same goal and modified Thierry Ds copyall-Terminator-Plugin to be just a select-all.
Install and activation:
- copy selectall.py into /usr/share/terminator/terminatorlib/plugins/
- restart terminator to discover the new plugin
- in terminator:
- right-click->Preferences
- switch to Plugins tab
- select SelectAll
- click Close
Now you can Select-All by: right-click->Select all
Perhaps I should add a shortcut as well.
