Shortcut key for Terminator lands in the “/” directory

Question

I bound the command "terminator" to Super + T in the shortcut keys configuration.

This is nice and all except terminator starts with / as the current directory, not ~. How to change this?

Answer 1

You will need to update the shortcut to the following command:

terminator --working-directory=~

From the MAN page:

   --working-directory=DIR
          Set the terminal's working directory

Answer 2

Run the command as

terminator --working-directory=~

instead of just

terminator
