Ubuntu

Toggle visibility via script

Asked by Sparhawk

Is there a way to toggle the visibility of Terminator via the command line? Currently I have Ctrl+Space assigned to it, and I'm using

    xdotool key --clearmodifiers ctrl+space

However, this is a bit buggy with independent xkb layouts for different keyboards, set by xorg.conf. Is there a direct way to toggle visibility instead?

Not as such, no. It should be a fairly simple exercise to add it.
See:
remotinator - Uses dbus to command terminator.
terminatorlib/ipc.py - The dbus guts.

If you feel unable to do this yourself, you could use the "Create bug report" to create a wishlist item for it.

Thanks for the reply. I had a look, but unfortunately the code is a bit over my head. I've created a bug report here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/terminator/+bug/1424908
