Key commands in Terminator

Toggle fullscreen: F11
Split terminals horizontally: Ctrl + Shift + O
Split terminals vertically: Ctrl + Shift + E
Close current Panel: Ctrl + Shift + W
Open new tab: Ctrl + Shift + T
Move to the terminal above the current one: Alt + ↑
Move to the terminal below the current one: Alt + ↓
Move to the terminal left of the current one: Alt + ←
Move to the terminal right of the current one: Alt + →

This maybe useful.

The shortcut for a different terminal emulator may be different. For instance, I am using Sakura terminal emulator , which uses Alt+arrow keys – Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy Jan 07 '16 at 07:03

Here are some useful commands form ArchWiki for the Terminator:

F11 Toggle fullscreen
Ctrl + Shift + O Split terminals horizontally
Ctrl + Shift + E Split terminals vertically
Ctrl + Shift + W Close current Panel
Ctrl + Shift + T Open new tab
Alt + ↑ Move to the terminal above the current one
Alt + ↓ Move to the terminal below the current one
Alt + ← Move to the terminal left of the current one
Alt + → Move to the terminal right of the current one

You cal also check out the settings to see all Keyboard shortcuts or to set your own shortcuts.

Although I like @incBrain response because he provides several shortcuts, in order to move between terminal tabs, these two work for me:

Ctrl + tab Next terminal in the current tab

Ctrl + Shift + tab Previous in the current tab

Ctrl + Page Up Next tab

Ctrl + Page Down Previous tab
