Custom gnome-terminal

2
Customizing can be interesting and of course there is no shortage of things you can customize.

Here is an example:

#launch gnome-terminal, resize to 80 wide 12 tall, then launch irb

gnome-terminal --geometry=80x12 -x irb


It wouldn't be much fun to type that every time so I just put it into a launcher of its own and then I'm only one click away from what I want.

Does anyone else do something similar?

Perhaps this tutorial will help you in creating a shortcut to starting the gnome terminal in the desired size.

Or you could also create a bash script
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. #!/bin/bash
  2.  
  3. do something here
  4.  
and put your command in there so that it is just a shortcut from the terminal.
