Terminal is a terminal emulator built for the Xfce desktop environment using GTK+. It is provided as part of the Xfce project, but it can be used in other X Window System environments as well. It supports tabs, customizable keyboard shortcuts (key bindings), customizable colors, and window sizes. It was designed to replace GNOME Terminal, which depends on the GNOME libraries. Like GNOME Terminal, it is based on the VTE library.

The Arch/Debian/Ubuntu package name for Terminal is xfce4-terminal.

Features

• Multiple tabs per window
• Customizable toolbars, which can be changed using an integrated graphical toolbar editor
• Ability to configure nearly every aspect of Terminal in the Preferences dialog. Additionally there are hidden options, not accessible via the GUI.
• Good integration with the Xfce desktop environment in particular, but also with every other Linux desktop
• Session management support
• Real multihead support (both MultiScreen and Xinerama mode)
• Standards compliance (freedesktop.org)
• D-BUS based terminal service facility to minimize the overall resource usage
• High degree of maintainability by making use of GTK+ and GObject.
• Dropdown support (slide down from the top of the screen when a key is pressed)
• Compact mode (where both the menubar and the window decorations are hidden)
