1 year ago If you are using a wayland desktop, the regular guake shortcut will not work. Instead, you need to go to the GNOME general settings, to the keyboard section and add a custom shortcut that runs the guake-toggle command.

When certain applications/windows/etc., are open, hitting the toggle-visibility hotkey (default F12) fails to open the Guake window when closed. Changing the default to ^-Super-F12 does not solve the problem. Obviously, the expected behavior is to bring up the Guake window. This does not seem to ever happen if Chrome is the active window but it does with e.g., FileZilla, Deluge, GNOME Files/Nautilus, an empty desktop (i.e., no foreground applications)...and it is—predictably—extremely annoying.
