# 1. Description

## 1.1. Features

In addition to the traditional features of `Gnome Terminal`, `Multi Gnome Terminal` adds many enhancements and extensions:

- Multiple terminals may be opened within the same Window.

- Each terminal Window is "Tabbed" for easy navigation.

- The terminal Window may be "split" vertically and/or horizontally. And also unsplit, or the split terminal can be moved to its own "Tab", or even another Window.

- Terminals may be "bonded" so that the output of a command in one terminal is echoed to all the "bonded" terminals.

- Terminals may be moved from one `Multi Gnome Terminal` Window to another.

- Notification that an inactive terminal buffer has changed, or is in the process of changing, via colors on Tab labels.

- Extensive keyboard shortcuts for most `Multi Gnome Terminal` features, and configurable key bindings for these features and other uses.

- Shading, tinting and psuedo-transparency of the `Multi Gnome Terminal` Window background.

- Configurable "Commands" for initializing new terminals, accessible from within the `Multi Gnome Terminal` GUI interface, or as command line options.

- Adds a Toolbar and Buttonbar, which can be disabled like the other GUI components. The Toolbar can be repositioned too.

- Search the scrollback buffer.

- Font "shadowing" for better contrast on transparent or pixmapped backgrounds.

- Improved terminal emulation capabilities, including support for VT52.

- Improved support for launching URLs direct from the terminal Window.

- A very flexible command line for creating new Windows and Tabs.

- Unrelenting, fire-breathing, dripping wet sex appeal.
