This project is no longer maintained. For an actively supported version, please use this fork: quake-terminal
git clone https://github.com/repsac-by/gnome-shell-extension-quake-mode.git
cd gnome-shell-extension-quake-mode
gnome-extensions pack quake-mode@repsac-by.github.com --extra-source={quakemodeapp,indicator,util}.js
gnome-extensions install quake-mode@repsac-by.github.com.shell-extension.zip
Go to gnome extensions or extension manager and open the settings for quake-mode. Switch over to the accelerators tab and define a shortcut key and an application it should open. Use that key to toggle the application like a quake shell.
Due to the implementation of some tricks of initial placement of the window in the desired location on the screen and suppression of the initial animation with replacement of its own, it may not always work correctly.
Developed for usage tilix on wayland but can manage almost any application.
