Guake terminal Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Source code for Quake 2 rerelease

  Discovering the drop down console was a revelation. An homage: http://guake-project.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Do you have any recommended modifications that you make to your default Mint installation?

  One of the very first things I do is to install Guake terminal. I usually change its hotkey to ctrl-alt-T, because I'm so used to using that for the terminal. Source: about 1 year ago

• I want to edit window border but there is no option to.

  I did discover one irrelevant cool thing though, well worth your time playing with: GUAKE --> http://guake-project.org. Source: over 1 year ago

• How do I reduce the volume of an app that only plays sound while in focus?

  I'm not sure which desktop or window manager you use, but you could try using a drop-down terminal like Guake and running pulsemixer on a tab in it. Source: about 2 years ago

• Any Gnome Terminal Alternatives for Gnome 42?

  Guake is very nice. It's a drop-down terminal, so there's no 'normal, moveable window' mode. But it's got profiles, tabs, and split-screen panes -- and it's a drop down terminal (which is pretty cool). Source: about 2 years ago

• Why use a different terminal?

  If you use the terminal a fair bit, look into quake-style, drop-down terminals. There's guake for Gnome, yakuake for KDE, and probably others. It's convenient to just press one button to open / close it. Source: over 2 years ago

• Microsoft subtly mentions quake

  Not sure if there are "normal" terminals that have Quake modes. The ones I know are standalone applications that only do that style of terminal. There is Yakuake from the KDE project and Guake as a standalone project targetting the GTK side of things. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Some shortcuts are not working.

  I use albert and guake with alt + space and f12 as shortcuts, respectively, for some time. However on pop os the shortcuts for these two time to time just stop working and in the same way they stoped they come to work again. There is no problem with other custom or regular shortcuts. Someone knows what is happening? Source: almost 3 years ago

• Terminal Setup with Zsh + Tmux + Dracula Theme

  When I worked with MacOS, I used iTerm2, but now on Linux I am using Guake as my default terminal. What I look for is to be able to open the command line in any monitor with a simple CTRL + SPACE shortcut. - Source: dev.to / almost 3 years ago
