Primary LanguageJavaScript

#Shimmer#

KDE KWin scipt to provide generic Quake-style terminal support for any app.

Currently, the script is hard-coded for the Terminator app, but any app can be specified in content/code/main.js. Once Shimmer is installed the key binding can be changed in the Global Shortcuts, KWin section. Look for "Quake-style app expose".

#Issues#
