Is there a way to set the gnome-terminal title from within the terminal itself without having to right click on the tab. Something like:  active-terminal --title "Foo"   There was a related question previously with an answer that almost lets you do this:  but that doesn't set the gnome-terminal tab title only the window title.

I am new to Ubuntu, and was wondering whether it is posible to open a terminal with a path matching your current location in the file manager? In Windows it was very easy, but how do you do it in Linux?

I'm using Ubuntu 16.04  I want to open multiple terminal tabs, run commands and set title. I can open multiple tabs with this command:  gnome-terminal --tab -e "command1" --tab -e "command2"   but cannot use --title option as it is not available in this version.   I know mate-terminal can do this, but I want to use gnome-terminal.   I've applied solution posted  and it worked but when i run  gnome-terminal --tab -e "bash -c 'set-title 99;ping 192.168.7.99'"   It shows:  bash: set-title: command not found PING 192.168.7.99 (192.168.7.99) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 192.168.7.99: icmp_seq=1 ttl=128 time=0.425 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.7.99: icmp_seq=2 ttl=128 time=0.353 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.7.99: icmp_seq=3 ttl=128 time=0.335 ms   I also applied   I've also read this post  but the accepted answer did not solve my issue in 16.04 os or gnome-terminal version 3.18.3 and other solution provides to use other terminal xterm and I want to use gnome-terminal.

I have several instances of terminals running in my working environment, what I would like is to set a specific title for each one, in order to have a clear idea what purpose the specific terminal serves i.e. Apache, editing_ini, postgres etc...  Of course from the command line.

I spend a lot of time at the command-line during the workday and at home too since I run Ubuntu exclusively.  I've been using the default gnome terminal but I've reached a point where I'd really like to get my terminal tricked out so that my common tasks are as easy as possible. Specifically, I find that I spend of lot of time browsing code in the terminal and working in config files.  On my wish list would be:   Ability to have multiple screens, tabs, windows (I don't have a preference at this point) that I can easily switch between. Color coding for everything Easy to modify the aesthetics of the terminal (is it vain to want my terminal to look nice?) such as transparency, borders, etc.

I have only spent 5 months with Ubuntu and it has been an awesome experience, I hardly boot into Windows now, but there are some things I miss, like the  I used to have in Windows.   I use the program a lot when I boot into Windows but I'd prefer if there was an alternative or something similar cause the program had a plethora of renaming options with a decent gui.  I'm aware of the rename command in terminal, but I've never had any luck with it.  A screenshot of what it looks like:   Questions   Is there an alternative of this program for Ubuntu? A great command line resource on how to get this done without a gui?

What command(s) can I use in the terminal that's equivalent to the PrtSc (Print Screen) button?  I am running Ubuntu GNOME.

I have a terminal open and want to launch another one. I hit the Windows key, type 'terminal' and hit Enter...and I'm warped to my first terminal.  I can hit Control+Enter to launch a new terminal. This is unnatural to me. Can I change the key bindings so that Enter will launch a new instance and Control+Enter will warp to the existing one?  Edit: I'm interested in all applications, not just a terminal.

When I work in terminal, sometimes I want to open the current directory in a GUI file manager. And then to click the items in the window to run the application. How can I do this?

I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS with Unity right now. I've changed my copy and paste keys to Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V respectively.  The command I've used is this:   gconftool-2 -t str -s /apps/gnome-terminal/keybindings/copy "&lt;Control&gt;c"   Now I'm looking for a way to change the interrupt / kill process key from Ctrl + C to (for example) Ctrl + I. The problem is that I can't find the appropriate keybinding name for it.  Any help would be appreciated.

System Settings can be run from the launcher (pinned by default), the Dash, or the power cog. But what command would I enter in a terminal window if I want to run it from there?

I tried to install an nvidia driver and there was an error saying I must not be in an X terminal when doing so. So I did a Ctrl+Alt+F1.  The resulting terminal did not allow the nvidia driver to be installed and showed the same error message. How do I revert back to the Unity GUI?

I'm trying to get the solarized color scheme in my terminal and am working through some tutorials online. I have run across the $TERM environment variable that from my understanding is the current name of the terminal I'm using. I also have a $COLORTERM which I'm not quite sure what it is but it shows me: gnome-terminal whereas the $TERM variable is xterm. Isn't the terminal that Ubuntu 13.10 uses the gnome-terminal? Why is xterm being displayed in the env var?

I'd like to set the terminal title to user@host so I can easily tell which machine I'm connected to from the window title. Is there a way to do this from SSH or from GNOME Terminal?
