guake: command not found

by Deepika

Guake is a drop-down terminal emulator for the GNOME desktop environment. It is designed to be quick and easy to use, with a minimal interface that stays out of your way until you need it. When you press a configurable hotkey (default is F12), Guake drops down from the top of the screen, providing you with a terminal window that you can use to run commands, navigate the file system, and perform other tasks.

One of the key features of Guake is its drop-down design, which allows you to quickly access a terminal window without having to switch between windows or virtual desktops. This can be especially useful when you need to run a command or perform a task that requires a terminal, but don’t want to leave the application or work you’re currently focused on.

Guake also provides a number of customization options, such as the ability to change the terminal’s font, background color, and transparency. You can also configure the hotkey used to toggle the terminal, and set up multiple tabs to run different commands or connect to different servers.

Another great feature of Guake is that it is highly customizable, you can change the default color scheme, change the font, change the transparency and background color, configure the hotkeys, set your own terminal profile and many more.
