12 This manual page documents Terminator, a terminal emulator application.
13 Terminator is a program that allows users to set up flexible arrange‐
15 ments of GNOME terminals. It is aimed at those who normally arrange
16 lots of terminals near each other, but don't want to use a frame based
17 window manager.
