Linux Tutorial: Enable Multiple labels on the GNOME terminal of Ubuntu 15.04

Q: I used to enable multiple tags in gnome-terminal on my Ubuntu Desktop. However, after upgrading to Ubuntu 15.04, I can no longer open new labels in the gnome-terminal window. How can I enable the tag in gnome-terminal of Ubuntu 15.04?

In Ubuntu 14.10 or earlier versions, gnome-terminal allows you to open a new tag or terminal window in the terminal window. However, from Ubuntu 15.04, gnome-terminal removed the "new tag" option. This is actually not a bug, but an action to merge new tags and new windows. GNOME 3.12 introduces a separate "enable terminal" option. Enable the new terminal tag function to move from the terminal menu to the preference.

 

Enable new tags in preference settings

To enable the new tag in gnome-terminal of Ubuntu 15.04, select "edit"> "Preferences" and change "enable new terminal: window" to "enable new terminal: Tag ".

If you enable the new terminal through the menu, it will be displayed in a new tab of the current terminal.

 

Enable tags with keyboard shortcuts

If you do not want to change your preferences, You can temporarily change the settings. For example, by default, When you click "New Terminal" and hold it down, the terminal will open in the new tag instead of opening a new terminal.

In addition, you can use the keyboard shortcut <Shift + Ctrl + T> to open a new tag on the terminal.

In my opinion, gnome-terminal's changes in the UI are not an improvement. For example, you cannot customize the titles of tags in the terminal. This function is useful when you open multiple tags in a terminal. If the terminal name remains the default title (and keeps getting longer), you cannot see the title of the terminal in a limited title space. We hope this function can be added as soon as possible.
