The GNOME Shell Extension - Quake Terminal enhances your desktop experience by providing a Quake-style terminal that can be summoned over any workspace with ease.
This extension offers the following features:
- Quick Activation: You can summon the Quake Terminal using a single keyboard shortcut or a customizable key combination, ensuring fast and efficient access.
- Workspace Integration: The Quake Terminal remains discreetly hidden in overview mode and during Alt+Tab switching, ensuring it doesn't obstruct your workspace when not in use.
- Multi-Display Support: You have the flexibility to choose which display screen the Quake Terminal should appear on, making it even more versatile and convenient.
