Working with Linux

Chapter 1. Introduction
This book is split into multiple parts. In part 1, we'll explore a new terminal and show you how to
install and configure it. In part 2, we will concentrate on configuring your shell, adding plugins,
understanding regular expressions, and working with pipes and subshells. Everything will then be
coagulated into a shell scripting lesson. In part 3, we'll work with Vim, our recommended editor. We
will cover everything from configuring it, to learning keyboard shortcuts, installing plugins, and even
using it as a password manager. So let's get started.
In the following chapter, we will learn the following topics:
Understanding the working of Terminator
Using Guake for your quick commands or long running tasks
Using ClipIt to copy-paste text
So, we will start with a terminal after which everything will be wild! When it comes to working long
hours in a terminal, our choice is to use Terminator for its fast and easy split screen functionality.
Then, we will focus on Guake, a terminal that opens really fast and wherever you are. Towards the
end, you will understand the working of Clipit and use its copy and paste feature effectively.
