AppLauncher

I want to share this plugin, I use Terminator, and every time I wanted to set up my development environment, I had to launch Terminator and execute the commands needed. In order to avoid this repetitive sequence, I decided to write a plugin that, with just one click, launches Terminator, creates divisions in it, and executes the commands needed for every project.

Installation

1. Put files in ~/.config/terminator/plugins/:

   mkdir -p ~/.config/terminator/plugins
   cp applauncher.py ~/.config/terminator/plugins/
   cp projects.py ~/.config/terminator/plugins/
   

2. Restart Terminator, go to Context menu > Preferences > Plugins and select AppLauncher.

Setup

1. Edit ~/.config/terminator/plugins/projects.py, example:

   :::python
   PROJECTS = {"Project 1": {"split": "vert",
                             "terminal1": {"split": "horiz",
                                           "terminal1": {"commands": ["dir"],
                                                         },
                                           "terminal2": {"commands": ["ls"],
                                                         }
                                           },
                             "terminal2": {"commands": ["dir"], 
                                           },
                             },
               "Project 2": {"enabled": False,
                             "split": "vert",
                             "terminal1": {"split": "horiz",
                                           "terminal1": {"commands": ["command 1",
                                                                      "command 2",
                                                                      "command 3"],
                                                         },
                                           "terminal2": {"commands": ["command"],
                                                         }
                                           },
                             "terminal2": {"split": "horiz",
                                           "terminal1": {"commands": ["command"],
                                                         },
                                           "terminal2": {"commands": ["command"],
                                                         }
                                           },
                             },
               "Project 3": {"commands": ["history", ] }
               }
   
   EDITOR = "gedit"
