Shortcut key for Terminator lands in the "/" directory

  • 772

I bound the command "terminator" to Super + T in the shortcut keys configuration.

This is nice and all except terminator starts with / as the current directory, not ~. How to change this?

    You will need to update the shortcut to the following command:

    terminator --working-directory=~

    From the MAN page:

       --working-directory=DIR
          Set the terminal's working directory

  2. Run the command as 

    terminator --working-directory=~

    instead of just 

    terminator
