Is it possible to start gnome-terminal always in fullscreen mode without menubar?
gnome-terminal --full-screen
does what you want, although it is more keypresses than launching gnome-terminal
and then pressing F11 to enter fullscreen mode.
You might, of course, create a wrapper binary called gt
or whatever name you prefer:
#!/bin/sh
exec gnome-terminal --full-screen "$@"
Place it in your ~/bin
directory and give it executable permissions.
- Open the
~/.bash_aliases
file with an editor of your choosing. - Add this line
alias gnome-terminal='gnome-terminal --full-screen'
- Either restart the terminal or type in
source ~/.bash_aliases
- Create a custom keyboard shortcut (via Ubuntu GUI, no need for fancy terminal commands) and set the shortcut to
Ctrl+Alt+T
.
