NAME

kuake - kuake-like hotkey terminal

EXAMPLES

urxvt -kuake-hotkey F10

URxvt.kuake.hotkey: F10

DESCRIPTION

A very primitive quake-console-like extension. It was inspired by a
description of how the programs "kuake" and "yakuake" work: Whenever
the user presses a global accelerator key (by default "F10"), the
terminal will show or hide itself. Another press of the accelerator
key will hide or show it again.

Initially, the window will not be shown when using this extension.

This is useful if you need a single terminal that is not using any
desktop space most of the time but is quickly available at the press
of a key.

The accelerator key is grabbed regardless of any modifiers, so this
extension will actually grab a physical key just for this function.

If you want a quake-like animation, tell your window manager to do so
(fvwm can do it).
