Simple! Fire up a shell terminal and type (as root) the following command:Īfterwards, the F12 key calls up Guake. This could be the best Linux desktop distribution of the year.
#GUAKE TERMINAL UBUNTU HOW TO#
If you’ve used Yakuake, you’ll know how to access Guake after installation.īy the way, Guake is installed by default on Deepin 15 alpha 2, which I wrote about at Deepin 15.
The Guake package is in the default repository, so this will be very easy.īecause it does not have support for split screens, Guake is not has advanced, in that respect, as Terminator, but it’s still a very good terminal emulator. Execute a command, then press the same key again to hide the terminal, going back to your previous task without breaking your workflow. It's inspired by the famous Quake console - the terminal stays hidden until you press a key (default is F12).
#GUAKE TERMINAL UBUNTU INSTALL#
In this article, you’ll see how to install and use Guake, another nice shell terminal, on Fedora 23. Guake is a Python-based drop-down terminal for the GNOME desktop which includes split terminal functionality, session save/restore (restores panes and tabs), support for transparency, and many other features. Guake: Open Guake preferences: Hit Alt+F2 and type guake-prefs and hit Enter. Click on font selection button and choose your desired font from resulting dialog. In Preferences window go to Profiles tab, under General tab uncheck Use the system fixed width font. Admittedly, though, its most important feature is allowing instant access to a set of terminals with the touch of a single button. It is cleverly designed to facilitate multitasking and can morph its appearance according to your preferences. Official support for Python 2 has been dropped. Guake is now only working on Python 3 (version 3.5 or 3.6). This also implies Guake now uses the latest version of the terminal emulator component, VTE 2.91.
#GUAKE TERMINAL UBUNTU UPGRADE#
Recently I wrote about how to install Terminator shell terminal on Ubuntu 15.10. Right click on terminal window, in the resulting menu click on Preferences. After all the above, it’s probably apparent why Guake is a real upgrade over a simple, standard terminal. Guake has been ported to GTK-3 thanks to the huge work of aichingm.
