Option to set split ratio of terminals #708

Closed

Description

@EmnichtdaYT

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When I start terminator I have it set to open one window with two terminals split horizontally, on the left terminal I have it configured to show a welcome screen and on the right terminal a fancy 80-columns wide ASCII art. I usually manually adjust the right terminal to 80 columns every time right after I open terminator.
It would be nice to be able to save the split ratio as part of the layout config, so you don't have to adjust it every time.

Describe the solution you'd like
I took a look at the config, HPaned does already have a setting called "ratio", but (for me) it doesn't change the split ratio, idk what its for. (Maybe this is actually a bug?) Adding a option called similarly that gives the ability to set the split ratio would be great.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Well, I could not think about anything else I could do.

Thankies! :3

    Update: This is actually a bug! A really weird one tho. When I open terminator via the search (GNOME, X.org on Ubuntu 22.04, as you can already tell from the neofetch), the ratio setting works, unless there is already a terminator window open. When I open terminator via a key bind or typing terminator in a terminal it also doesn't work.

    What version of terminator are you using? I remember fixing a bug like that some time ago, where the terminal ratio would not be properly loaded when reading a layout.

    Here it is: #442. Might be the same bug as #433.

    Oh I just noticed I haven't added the terminator repo, I had 2.1.1 installed, it got fixed in 2.1.2 thanks!
