Maybe I should mess arround with Terminator's profiles and custom shortcuts

brunofavs commented 6 months ago

I got a workaround working almost perfectly. The app still doesn't open but now a shortcut does, which is much better.

Basically I have a new profile set on terminator that when opened executes a custom zshrc (on top of the main zshrc) which will contain shell configurations specific to ubuntu.

Also in this zshrc the ubuntu container is initialized : image

This will after also include this I only want for the ubuntu such as the ROS environment variables and sources.

To execute it separately, I configured a custom keyboard shortcut :

And it works really well :))))

It also has different colors so that I visually aid me to know if I'm on the correct terminal
