Terminator: how to get it start up with specified layout?

1. After setting up your layout, right-click on any terminal background and choose Preferences→ Layouts tab and click on Add button.
2. Give it a name and hit Close.
3. This should create the mentioned ~/.config/terminator/config file.
4. Now you can start terminator using the saved layout using: terminator -l yourLayout(replace yourLayout with whatever you chose on step 2).
5. (optional) Edit the ~/.config/terminator/config file so that where it says [layouts]and nested below it [[yourLayout]], rename yourLayout to default and remove/rename the previous default layout. Now, when Terminator starts without any parameters, it will load your custom [[default]] layout!

use additional flags

• -b for borderless and
• -m for maximized.

The final Command is following terminator -m -b -l my_default.
