I have saved a few Terminator profiles with different colors etc. How is it possible to activate a specific profile from the command line, or initially run terminator with a specific profile?
The main goal is to be able to activate profile "Prod" when we ssh to production, and "Stage" when we ssh to the staging-environment. So if there is such a terminator option then an alias can run the ssh command and then change the profile adequately.
Use the command
terminator -p <profile_name> &
to start Terminator with the desired profile.
(The & is to run Terminator in the background so it doesn't block the shell.)
It is possible to open a new tab with a different profile:
terminator --new-tab -p profile_name
I think there is no way to change the profile of the currently active window or tab.
profile_name, so every new tab will be executed under the profile_name profile until Terminator is closed. Frankly, I don't understand the logic behind Terminator's profile handling. To me, it's a weird and unintuitive UX. And, according to other questions, I'm not alone.
There's also this Terminator plugin that watches for the hostname and applies profiles accordingly. It hasn't been touched for a while, so I can't say whether it works or not.
