Yakuake
From wiki
The printable version is no longer supported and may have rendering errors. Please update your browser bookmarks and please use the default browser print function instead.
Yakuake
is a terminal emulator that will slide down your screen when you press a shortcut key. It allows very fast access to your shell from any program.
It is similar to other programs like Guake and Tilda.
Install
$ sudo apt install yakuake
Change Shortcut
The default shortcut to open Yakuake
is F12
. This conflicts with the default shortcut to open developer tools in browsers. I personally use F1
as the key is easy to reach and its default functionality is useless to me.
To change this, open application System Settings
, open section Shortcuts
, and choose Global Shortcuts
. In that screen, select Yakuake
as component and click on the shortcut to change it.
