This script can be associated to a keyboard shortcut to make ANY terminal emulator behave like Guake, but better.
It brings the terminal to front on the first call, and pushes it back on the second call, so you can still see the terminal while working in the other window. I prefer this instead of minimizing, and definitely prefer this over the "always on top" terminals.
Requirements:
wmctrl
xprop
Python3
Python3 required libraries:
psutil (pip3 install psutil)
How to use:
1) Install the required commands and libraries
2) Edit the first lines of the script to set your terminal emulator (I use qterminal)
3) Configure your preferred window manager key shortcut to execute the script*
*Remember to you give it execution permissions!
Features
- Bring any terminal emulator to front
- Send the terminal window back without minimizing it!
- Open a new terminal when none is available
- Switch to the terminal emulator found in the current workspace
