I am trying out i3 tiling window manager on Ubuntu 20.04.

All terminals started with $mod+Enter share the same input: i.e. if I type something on one terminal, the same gets printed on another. This is not an expected behavoir :)

What's strange, if I start terminator with $mod+d, I do not see terminator in pstree output, and resulting terminal behaves the same. Turns out they are all terminators - seeing this by terminator-specific interface.

Used just sudo apt-get install i3 to install i3.

$ i3 --version
i3 version 4.17.1 (2019-08-30) © 2009 Michael Stapelberg and contributors

How can I get them working separately without echoing input on all of the terminals?

  • Looks like this is a `terminator` specific problem. If I start `gnome-terminal` with `$mod+d`, there is no echo onto other terminals. – Alexey Tigarev Dec 29 '21 at 16:50
  • I think it does not make sense to run a tiling terminal inside a tiling WM, so I selected `/usr/bin/gnome-terminal.wrapper` as a default terminal with `sudo update-alternatives --config x-terminal-emulator`. But the problem with terminator remains unsolved - maybe someone likes it for a reason other then tiling? – Alexey Tigarev Dec 29 '21 at 16:55
