That is precisely the point of Terminator. It is an infinitely wide terminal. I used it for quite a while to avoid gcc command lines from being wrapped.

I just tried Ctrl+Tab and the mintty window simply disappeared, leaving the shell process (bash or ssh) behind without a window (visible or otherwise). :( -- Life is complex, with real and imaginary parts.
