Previously guake used to have its preferences stored in ~/.gconf/apps/guake/general but with move to gtk3 it has moved to gsettings and dconf . While dconf-editor does show me the preferences with the toggle switch I'm unable to figure out where it actually stays.

i am using i3wm and guake. I always use tmux inside guake to have split functionality detach function etc is there a way to start guake by default tmux running ?

I am running guake on Debian testing - $guake --version Guake Terminal: 3.8.1 VTE: 0.66.2 VTE runtime: 0.66.2 Gtk: 3.24.30 Fortunately or unfortunately KDE terminal seems to come in my guake sessions and I dunno why :( FWIW, I also looked at the guake.desktop file entry - /usr/share/applications$ cat guake.desktop [Desktop Entry] Name=Guake Terminal Comment=Use the command line in a Quake-like terminal TryExec=guake Exec=guake Icon=guake Type=Application Categories=GNOME;GTK;System;Utility;TerminalEmulator; StartupNotify=true X-Desktop-File-Install-Version=0.22 And as can be seen, it doesn't show anything untoward. Please don't misunderstand me. I do like KDE terminal/konsole but not in guake. Is there any way to blacklist konsole/kde just from guake ??? Looking forward to knowing. FWIW, I tried three sessions and it seems random. For e.g. in the first session, it was KDE, reboot and in DE and it was guake, the third session it was again KDE terminal. All the sessions were under mate 1.26

I recently installed an update to Guake that sets the tab names to @/path/to/current/directory/. This is rather annyoing when a single tab takes up all the space because of extreme nesting, for example in a Java project (parent-module/sub-module/src/main/java/no/whirlwin/sample_app/domain/wares/interfaces). Earlier the names were something like tab:0, tab:1 or so, which was perfect. Now I have to manually rename each and every new tab I open, which is a pain in the a...wk. Other than downgrading to an earlier version, is it possible to change the default tab names?

I need to check in my .vimrc whether or not the terminal in which vim is opened is running in Guake. How can I see this? The $TERM variable does not seem to be quite right...

I'm using tmux from a while and I'm very happy with it. Since I need it most of the time, I made it my default shell (in guake, to be precise). This is nice and I'm perfectly fine with this. But from time to time, I need to exit tmux and having a clean shell, but since I'm defaulted with tmux, terminating the session will result in another tmux later. So, my question is: is it possible to replace the *tmux process* with a given shell? Something like exec which, of course, doesn't work, because it replacess the shell inside tmux and not tmux itself.

I am starting a process in a tmux window in a terminal window. When I close the terminal window, the process not killing automatically but If I kill tmux window before close terminal window, the process killing. How can I kill related tmux window when the terminal window closed ? Can we bind commands the close event of the terminal window ?

I'm using anaconda to manage virtual environments on my Ubuntu 15.10 machine. For some reason, I'm not able to use the Guake terminal anymore: anaconda3/bin/python2: No module named guake (Default environment). It used to work until now. I suspect that there is an issue with some paths. /usr/lib/python2.7/guake I found this . However, I don't know how I can install the packages within the anaconda environment. I tried reinstalling guake from the repository as well as compiling the source. The latter gives the following error: configure: error: cannot import Python module "vte". Please check if you have python-vte installed. The error was: No module named vte I suspect it is installed in the wrong folder. The script should install all dependencies (according to the describtion on the guake github page) but I guess it does so in the wrong location. Does anyone know how I can cleanly install packages within the anaconda environment without using conda install .. Is this a good idea at all? Or can I update some path variables? I'm a bit lost. (Furthermore, if someone knows alternative drop-down terminals I would be glad to know)

I have used answer of [zsh kill Ctrl + Backspace, Ctrl + Delete](https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/12789/188538) to configure following key binding: - Ctrl+Backspace: delete until the beginning of current word, - Ctrl+Delete: delete until the end of current word, - Ctrl+Shift+Delete: delete until the end of the line. This have been done using these commands:

$ bindkey -M emacs '^[[3;5~' kill-word
$ bindkey -M emacs '^H' backward-kill-word 
$ bindkey -M emacs '^[[3;6~' kill-line

To know how to encode the keys (i.e., the ^[[3;5~ part), I used the "trick" detailed in the answer: _"type Ctrl+C Ctrl+Delete to see what the value is on your system"_. **Problem** == I would like to bind Ctrl+Shift+Backspace to the backward-kill-line command (i.e. delete everything between the cursor and the beginning of the line). However, when I type Ctrl+C Ctrl+Shift+Backspace, my prompt only shows ^H — i.e. the same key combination as Ctrl+Backspace.

Is there a way to allow page up to scroll output one page up in guake. The only way right now is to use mouse-scroll but it would be more convenient if it can be keyboard based. Guake - 3.3.0 on Debian testing.

Terminals like Terminator or Guake terminal are not able to parse prompt profiles for git which is set in .bashrc file. PS1 variable is not set for terminals which use xterm as base which guake and terminator terminals use. So if custom functions are used for instance for displaying custom path if current directory is GIT directory then those variables or functions will not work. Eg: $parse_git_branch

after a recent upgrade on my local Debian install Guake does not drop down by using F12 Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux buster/sid Kernel: Linux 4.12.0-1-686-pae Architecture: x86 Guake version: 0.8.8-1 once I started it manually I can call it with F12, but only on the virtual desktop where it was started, as soon as I change do a different desktop I can't call it with F12 anymore. As you can see on the screenshot, I'm on the 2ond desktop and in the bottom left the guake symbol shows up. I can call the terminal by clicking there with the mouse. But F12 does not work. If I start it from a terminal I get the following output: (guake:3387): libglade-WARNING **: unknown attribute `swapped' for . INFO:guake.guake_app:Logging configuration complete /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/guake/guake_app.py:865: GtkWarning: IA__gtk_window_set_type_hint: assertion '!gtk_widget_get_mapped (GTK_WIDGET (window))' failed self.window.set_type_hint(gtk.gdk.WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_DOCK) /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/guake/guake_app.py:866: GtkWarning: IA__gtk_window_set_type_hint: assertion '!gtk_widget_get_mapped (GTK_WIDGET (window))' failed self.window.set_type_hint(gtk.gdk.WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_NORMAL) ^CTraceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/runpy.py", line 174, in _run_module_as_main "__main__", fname, loader, pkg_name) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/runpy.py", line 72, in _run_code exec code in run_globals File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/guake/main.py", line 253, in exec_main() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/guake/main.py", line 250, in exec_main gtk.main()

Is it possible to process/transform the output from grep (or produce grep-like results, finding strings and/or patterns in files, some other way) such that the search results can be used as links (i.e., hyperlinks) to open an editor?  I want to click on a filename:line_number in my grep result and open my editor at the selected line. $ grep "mServiceIntent" -R ./src/ ./src/example/PhotoThumbnailFragment.java:67 private Intent mServiceIntent; ./src/example/PhotoThumbnailFragment.java:194 mServiceIntent = ./src/example/PhotoThumbnailFragment.java:203 getActivity().startService(mServiceIntent); I know how to register protocols in the system to open the editor.  For example, all URLs like sblm://* in my system open in Sublime Text.  My question is: how to create custom links in guake terminal (or maybe it doesn't depend on quake and works for default terminal program)? Note: the related(?) question, Is there a terminal app that allows filenames to be clickable? , is vague on specific implementation/solution details, and doesn't explicitly mention my requirement to jump directly to an identified line in the file.

(Using Ubuntu 17.10) I don't know how this happened. I use Guake terminal and zsh with oh-my-zsh, and also have had the Android emulator(along with the sdk etc.) installed for a long time. For some reason, one day, pasting into Guake using Ctrl-V, the mouse and context menu, or Ctrl-Shift-V, all started to **a)** Open the Android emulator and then **b)** Spit some emulator related garble onto the terminal, followed finally by the text I wanted to paste. I can then close the emulator and use the pasted text. This, as you can imagine, became infuriating. So I just now deleted the entire folder of Android related stuff, the sdk, the ndk's, all tools etc. including the emulator. Now when I paste to Guake I see the line: bracketed-paste-magic:12: no such file or directory: /home/user/Android/Sdk/tools/emulator Followed by: All I know about bracketed-paste-magic is that it is a part of zsh... I have never intentionally used this feature. Any suggestions as to how to fix this?

Some days ago I was executing a rather long command using Guake (downloading a website with wget, with an intricate set of options). I suspended my laptop before the operation was finished, and did not use it for a few days. Unfortunately, my battery discharged. After logging in again, the command does not appear in the .bash_history file, so it does not show up in Guake or another terminal when using ↑. Is there a way I can recover this command? Is it perhaps written somewhere else? There seems to be no equivalent to bash history in the Guake folder.

In zsh shell, I am having the following issue. After I press a command in command prompt, it is repeated in second line and also there's an ineligible character as well. I run zsh in Guake. Here's my .zshrc: a TERM="screen-256color" # install zsh antigen source /usr/share/zsh-antigen/antigen.zsh # Load the oh-my-zsh's library. antigen use oh-my-zsh # Bundles from the default repo (robbyrussell's oh-my-zsh). antigen bundle debian antigen bundle autojump antigen bundle cp antigen bundle colorize antigen bundle command-not-found antigen bundle git antigen bundle zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting # Set Home for VirtualEnvWrapper export WORKON_HOME="$HOME/.config/virtualenv" antigen bundle virtualenvwrapper antigen bundle tmux antigen bundle littleq0903/gcloud-zsh-completion # Tell antigen that you're done. antigen apply # using system powerline source /usr/share/powerline/bindings/zsh/powerline.zsh export MANPAGER="/bin/sh -c \"col -b | vim -c 'set ft=man ts=8 nomod nolist noma' -\"" I started removing line by line to check, which one is causing the issue. I believe its the "antigen use oh-my-zsh". Another pain point: I tried a lot tmux.conf, but it just didn't work the only thing that worked is this and tmux=tmux -2.

I looked at https://github.com/Guake/guake and there doesn't seem to be a way to troubleshoot why guake crashes. At times it would run for over 2-3 days and then suddenly it stops. Is there a way to know why it is crashing. If there is, please share with me. The way guake is configured atm is that the moment a MATE session starts, guake starts and from it I spawn the browser and whatever other utilities I need. When it crashes other utilities break down.

Ever since upgrading to GNOME 3.22, there doesn't seem to be any way to disable the F1 Help Center when I'm focused on any GNOME tool (Nautilus, regular desktop, gedit, etc). I have guake set to expand via F1 right now, so you might understand why I'm super annoyed. I've been through the updated keyboards shortcuts page and neither F1 nor anything that looks like "help center" is on there, and I'm ot really sure what parts of dconf or gsettings would be helpful. Is there anything I can do? My system is Arch Linux (updated as far as pacman -Syu will let me).

Whenever I try to open guake it shows the following error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/guake", line 24, in 
    import pygtk
ImportError: No module named pygtk

How to remove this error and make guake run properly ?

I am starting to use Arch Linux / Mate, and Guake with it (last versions). I would like Guake can highlight the command prompt, like in this image . You can see the prompt is light green, and the other text is white. Actually Guake is showing like this one , with no differences between prompt and the rest of the text. My intention is to differ from the command prompt and the other text showed in Guake. Is there a way or a theme to make this difference? Thanks.
