two issues with terminator

[Max Mustermann]

Hello,

I just switched to terminator and it's really nice except for a few
issues I couldn't solve. I prefer the keybinding <Ctrl><Shift>N for
opening new tabs which just doesn't work with terminator. My entry in
~/.config/terminator/config looks like this:

[keybindings]
new_tab = <Ctrl><Shift>N

When this is set, I cannot open new tabs with any keybinding. Other
keybindings like next_tab or prev_tab work just fine.

The second thing is that I don't want terminator to resize the window
wehn opening a new tab. (when tere was only one tab before) I didn't
find any option to disable this.

Thanks in advance

The Terminator whose mailing list you've come to doesn't do anything
explicit with that file. Googling to find which program it might be
used by (I was thinking it might be a Gnome thing), I saw this:

That makes me wonder if you're using "the other Terminator", from
http://www.tenshu.net/terminator/.

Then again, this issue is one that we've had reported before, so perhaps
you are in the right place (and just out of luck about keybinding
configuration, as even "Use alt as meta (for Emacs)" binds Ctrl-Shift-N
to "New Shell", not "New Tab"). "Edit, Preferences, Behavior, Always
show tab bar" was the option added to make this problem go away. There
was some feeling that it should be made the default but no-one's got
round to it.
