I'm installing 3 servers in parallel, and am using Terminator with a 3-way split pane to do so.
Any time I go to the context menu in Terminator, and I use the broadcast feature to select "broadcast all", my keypresses will be broadcast to the SSH sessions in all 3 panes, though in the 2 panes I did not select as my "active pane" double the characters will be typed, so, as an example:
------------------------
jln@server1: apt upgrade -y
------------------------
jln@server2: aapptt uuppggrraaddee --yy
------------------------
jln@server3: aapptt uuppggrraaddee --yy
------------------------I'm on 19.10 Eoan Ermine. Used the Terminator package from the official Ubuntu repository. I have changed no options other than the colours and the showing of the bars at the top of the terminals.
My terminator version:
terminator -v

From the bug report at :
It is the "GTK_IM_MODULE" environment variable (in my system it is GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus)
If I usent GTK_IM_MODULE, terminator works without the bug
env --unset=GTK_IM_MODULE terminator
Unsetting the GTK_IM_MODULE environment variable worked for me.
Change line 142 of the terminator script file to the following.
sudo nano /usr/share/terminator/terminator
before change (line 142)
ibus_running = [p for p in psutil.process_iter() if p.name == 'ibus-daemon' and p.username == username]after change
ibus_running = [p for p in psutil.process_iter(['name', 'username']) if p.info['name'] == 'ibus-daemon' and p.info['username'] == username]if you have ubuntu 20...
sudo nano /usr/bin/terminator
add after the imports...
del os.environ['DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS']
Found somewhere and it worked for me...
sudo mv /usr/bin/terminator /usr/bin/terminator.SAVE
cat <<TERMINATOR > /tmp/terminator
#!/bin/bash
sh -c "DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS='' /usr/share/terminator/terminator"
TERMINATOR
chmod 755 /tmp/terminator
sudo mv /tmp/terminator /usr/bin
