I work with terminals all the time, and most of the windows opened are teminals. I would like to get them somehow organized, for example in tabs. But the problem is I open them from nautilus (Open in Remote Terminal https://github.com/umpirsky/nautilus-scripts/blob/master/Open%20in%20Remote%20Terminal) so it opens always a new window.

Is there any tool that can keep then on one terminal window in separate tabs? I saw terminator, but that works separated from native ubuntu terminal app.

If you have terminal window "A" open and terminal window "B" open. You can select window "A", then open another tab in that window with Ctrl + Shift + T. After that you can click and drag Tab "A" to "B" leaving a window with the last created tab alone and a new window with your two old windows "A" and "B" as tabs.

After this you can right click on the tabs to give them labels. I can do this with the gnome-terminal, a.k.a. the standard terminal.

Then you can change the default switch to next tab to a more practical key.

  • Only strange thing is strange shortcuts in terminal. Change tab is Ctrl+Page Down. Very strange choice, Ctrl+Tab would be more appropriate.

    Edit -> keyboard shortcuts -> Tabs. Swap it to what fits you.

  • Thanks, great tip. For some reason it does not accept Ctrl+Tab :(

There is a plugin for Compiz that enables you to group and tab different windows of any kind. It's not entirely stable though. :)

The plugin is called Group and Tab and it's available in the compiz-plugins-extra package.
