Available on Windows Linux

The 5th most popular system tool on Linux

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.

    Great terminal emulator, which it is just there when you need it. The only functionality, it is lacking, compared to Konsole, is sending keystrokes to multiple sessions.

    It's the best thing for the command line literate user who frequently opens and closes a command line window.

    Five stars all the way! Powerusers will have fast access to all their favorite command line tools, and beginners can learn the command line quickly as it's always available and easy to access.

    A must-have!
