In this issue, the editor will bring you about the nine useful Linux command line terminal tools, which are rich in content and analyzed and described from a professional point of view. I hope you can get something after reading this article.

As a computer professional, proficient in operating the Linux command line is the minimum requirement. I believe that many people spend a lot of time on the Linux command line every day. In order to solve your problems, the editor will recommend tools that can replace the system's own chicken rib terminal software, which are Tilda, Guake, Yakuake, Terminator, Stjerm, Terminology, TermKit, Wterm and Aterm.

1 、 Tilda

This is a configurable Thor Hammer style terminal tool, that is, when the user hits the configured hotkey (the default is F1), the terminal will slide out from the top of the screen, just like in the Thor Hammer game.

How to install it:

Apt-get install tilda

Tilda has more customization options than other drop-down style terminals. Including: highly customized interface, setting the transparency of the main Tilda window. Unique built-in color scheme. The user can degenerate the command line window into a minimalist state.

2 、 Guake

This is a drop-down terminal tool on the Gnome platform. The goal of this terminal is to provide a fast terminal access that you only need to press a shortcut key to make it appear / disappear from the desktop. This drop-down style terminal is very easy to use. Install, open, and set it to boot. It can be minimized to the system bar and can be called directly with F12.

How it is installed:

Apt-get install guake

Run it from Applications > Accessories > Guake. Then right-click its system bar icon, and then click 'preferences', to set your preferences. You can get detailed help information through the "man guake" activity.

3 、 Yakuake

The original inspiration for Yakuake's design was the end effect of Thor Hammer. It is essentially a drop-down style terminal based on KDE Konsole technology. Because it is a KDE application, if you want to install it on the GNOME desktop, you will encounter a lot of KDE package dependencies. But if you are a KDE user, Yakuake will make you quite satisfied.

It can be installed as follows:

Apt-get install yakuake

4 、 Terminator

Terminator is a cross-platform terminal tool that uses the GPL license and provides many advanced features. It is not as glamorous as the Guake and Yakuake, but it is definitely a heavy weapon. The functions it provides include dividing the interface into blocks and setting itself as the default terminal for the GNOME desktop. Like Guake, Terminator can be installed in most versions of Linux. You can divide its main window into as many pieces as you want. It is installed as follows:

Apt-get install terminator

Its characteristics can be summarized as follows:

Divide the interface into a grid

Tab page

Drag and sort each terminal

A large number of shortcut keys

Adjust the interface layout and configuration preferences through visual settings tools.

Each window can be used in parallel

5 、 Stjerm

This is a terminal software that can be comparable with Guake and Tilda. And it's very lightweight, with tab pages that can be switched full-screen. It is installed as follows:

Apt-get install sjterm

6 、 Terminology

This is not a simple terminal tool, it can do anything. With Terminology, you can preview pictures and play videos without opening other file management tools. It's all-powerful. It can be installed as follows:

Sudo add-apt-repository ppa:hannes-janetzek/enlightenment-svn

Sudo apt-get update

Sudo apt-get install terminology

7 、 TermKit

TermKit cannot be used as a terminal tool for daily use. It has a very beautiful graphical interface. It is a command line system based on WebKit. It is installed as follows:

Apt-get install termkit

8 、 Wterm

Wterm is another lightweight command line terminal based on rxvt. Its functions include setting background picture, transparency effect, reverse transparency and so on. A large number of settings make it a highly customizable terminal tool. It can be installed as follows:

Apt-get install wterm

Its disadvantage is that it looks as if it has been left unmaintained.

9 、 Aterm

Aterm is a rxvt-based terminal tool, it provides very beautiful visual effects, it provides all the basic functions of the terminal. In addition, it also provides a simulated transparency effect and a fade-out effect when you lose focus. It is installed as follows:

Apt-get install wterm
