NAME

YaKuake – a Quake-style terminal emulator based on KDE Konsole technology.  

SYNOPSIS

YaKuake [Qt-options] [KDE-options]  

DESCRIPTION

YaKuake is inspired from the terminal in the Quake game: when you press a key (by default F12, but that can be changed) a terminal window slides down from the top of the screen. Press the key again, and the terminal slides back.

It is faster than a keyboard shortcut because it is already loaded into memory and as such is very useful to anyone who frequently finds themselves switching in and out of terminal sessions.
