Common Linux Endpoints

Common Linux Endpoints

Gnome-terminal (Gnome Standard)
Xfce4-terminal (XFCE4 Standard)
Lxterminal (LXDE Standard)
Konsole (KDE standard)
The first 3 are GTK interface style, Konsole is the QT interface style, of course, their core is based on Gnu/bash this powerful Linux shell.

If you like, you can put it all on, Ubuntu use the following command:
sudo apt-get install xfce4-terminal lxterminal konsole

Ubuntu default terminal is gnome-terminal, so do not install. And Konsole is the KDE (QT) program, so to download and install some QT support library, the download volume is relatively larger, if only install Xfce4-terminal and lxterminal, only consumes 3M of traffic.

The top 4 lxterminal are the most lightweight terminals and start as fast as Windows Cmd.exe.

After installation, you can press ALT+F2 to enter specific names such as lxterminal, or you can create initiators (similar to Windows shortcuts) on your desktop, and you can also find them in accessories.

If you're uncomfortable with it, use the following command to uninstall under Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get remove--purge xfce4-terminal lxterminal konsole
User profiles You can manually delete, such as lxterminal user profiles in ~/.config/lxterminal/lxterminal.conf
RM-RF ~/.config/lxterminal

Some common terminal shortcut keys

Ctrl + L Empty screen (function equivalent to command clear)
Ctrl + U cuts text until the beginning of the line (can be used to empty rows)
Ctrl + K cuts text until the end of the line
Ctrl + Y Pastes the most recently cut text
Ctrl + C kills the current process (can also be used to empty the current line)
Ctrl + D exits the current shell (function equals command exit) or deletes the current character
Ctrl + A Beginning
Ctrl + E End of line
Home/end beginning/End of line
Ctrl + F moves forward one character
Ctrl + B moves backward one character
Ctrl+p/ctrl+n up and down history
Upper and Lower arrow keys up and down history
Ctrl+shift+c replication
Ctrl+shift+v paste
Tab Smart Auto-complete (quite powerful)
Hold down the CTRL key for block selection.

These shortcuts are not enough for command control, but they are sufficient for my average user.
These shortcuts are generally supported in addition to SSH clients such as Putty on the Linux terminal,windows mentioned above.
