Finally, it can also be useful to set up a keyboard shortcut to open your new terminal. To do this, start by opening the Settings menu. The menu can be accessed in a few different ways, so for this guide we're simply going to right click on the desktop and left click "Settings."

If this is your first time setting a custom shortcut you'll see a button titled "Add Shortcut." Otherwise you'll see a list of your shortcuts with a plus sign at the bottom. Click whichever applies to your situation to open the "Add Custom Shortcut" dialog. In the *Name* field type an easy to remember nickname for your shortcut. For the *Command* field, type the name of our program: `terminator`. Then click "Set Shortcut" to set your new key combination.
