If you have read some of my other posts, you know that I like to have multiple terminal windows open whenever I am working. \u00a0This used to involve opening the Terminal app, and then opening multiple more windows. \u00a0Then I had to drag each window into the location that I wanted it to be at. \u00a0I later realized that I could have the Terminal app save my open windows as a Workspace, and could define a default workspace to be opened whenever Terminal is opened.<\/p>\n

This is rather simple to do, and can be accomplished by following the steps below:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Open Terminal.<\/li>\n
  2. Open and arrange the windows that you want to save as the workspace.<\/li>\n
  3. Once all windows are open and in the desired locations, click Window<\/strong> and then Save Windows as Group…<\/strong>\"\"<\/li>\n
  4. To set the default Window group, enter the Preferences within Terminal (command + , ).<\/li>\n
  5. In the Startup<\/strong> tab, change ‘On startup, open’ from ‘New window with settings:’ to ‘Window group’ and select the desired window group.\"\"<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n


    \n<\/span><\/span>Now whenever you open Terminal, the selected Window group will load by default.<\/p>\n
