    Who needs a right-click to activate a CLI? I just Ctrl+Down, and yakuake pops down from the top of the screen.

    (PS. There's tilda or guake for Gnome users.

  2. my JS game by valentingalea · · Score: 0 · on Is JavaScript Ready For Creating Quality Games?

    Back in the day I did a small racing game all in DHTML.
    I even added a highscore table - too bad it got hijacked by spammers:(

    Never heard of keyword search?

    To translate a word, I type Ctrl-L and then "dict someword" ENTER.
    For Wikipedia I have "wiki sometopic" and "wikie sometopic" for the English Wikipedia.

    Oh, I also use Yakuake, and I have a special button on my keyboard for it.
    So for when Firefox is not running, I press that button, type "wiki sometopic" or "dict sometopic" and Firefox opens with that search.
    Yakuake even automatically retracts when Firefox opens.

    I have this for YouTube (yt=, btjunkie (bt), wikipedia (wiki, wikie), dict.leo.org (dict, dico), price comparison (preis), recipes (rezept), urban dictionary (ud), and others. I did not see the front pages of those sites for months or even years.

  4. Re:Nice by spiki · · Score: 0 · on AMD Promises Open Source Graphics Drivers

    I noticed a huge difference between having a default driver vs company made one, silly things like dragging a console with transparent background is no longer a pain, it's smooth. WTF? Draging console with transparent background IS "edge case". Normal scenario of using console is in full screen. If you need something cool and fancy try http://yakuake.uv.ro/

    The desktop feels fast and I don't even have any 3d desktop installed. Well, that's why it's fast :)
  5. Re:I still miss Windows by Jesus_666 · · Score: 1 · on Windows Expert Jumps Ship

    By the way, one thing I'd like would be a terminal roughly equivalent to Terminal.app as a Dashboard widget. All terminal widgets I know are rather cruddy as far as terminals go.

    If there's one thing I miss from Linux (currently my main system is an iBook due to hardware issues with the Linux box) is Yakuake.

  6. Not many... by Enoxice · · Score: 1 · on How Many Windows?

    I've usually got 5 or 6 (8 at most) windows open, spread through 4 virtual desktops. Browser, file manager, console (though yakuake: http://yakuake.uv.ro/ has alleviated that need), IM stuff, a game of tetris, and maybe email.

  7. Re:It's faster? by pherthyl · · Score: 1 · on Gnome 2.14 Review

    Yeah I think it mostly comes down to user perception. For all normal usages, all the terminal emulators are fast enough. I mean, what's the point of cat somehugefile? If you want to see the last few lines, use tail, if you want to look through it, use less or more, and if you want to search it, use grep. I can't really think of a scenario when you would want to just display a huge file on the terminal.

    More important are things like startup speed. And now that I discovered yakuake ( http://yakuake.uv.ro/ ), I don't even care about that anymore.

  8. A Quake Like Console : Yakuake by unixmaster · · Score: 2, Informative · on Time Saving Linux Desktop Tips?

    Try Yakuake. Its a Quake like console for KDE. The best thing it can be hidden/shown with one key ( F12 default) so it doesn't steal your screen estate and can be enabled instantly when you need it.
