Terminator

I have been using GNU Screen for quite some time when I work on remote servers through SSH. It allows me to switch between different screens in a jiffy, split screens horizontally and vertically, search for a string in the scrolled text and above all it saves the session. I really missed the split screen and search functionality while working with the traditional terminal window in Ubuntu. I used GNU Screen within terminal window to get those missing functionalities. Finally I found this tool, Terminator - a nice equivalent of GNU Screen that does a better job. The controls are so easy to split screens, switch between screens, text search, etc... You can even manipulate it graphically say, drag and drop to change positions, resize individual screens, which is not available in GNU Screen. Check out the Terminator manual for more info.
