Feature request: guake support

[daroczig]

I would have a timid feature request: adding gauke support. Guake is a top-down terminal for Gnome which is capable of running tabs.

It would be really neat if Connection Manager could have an option to use Guake by default (like terminator support), and open up a new tab on the running Guake terminal. In bash, this is really easy to manage, eg.:

guake --new-tab --rename-tab=$NAME.OF.THE.TAB --execute-command="ssh $PARAMETERS" &

Would open up a new tab in the running Guake instance, name that tab and execute an initial command there.

I am just not familiar with python unfortunately, but I am sure this could be solved easily with some kind of system call.

Okay, I've just got a deeper look @ Conncetion Manager's menu, and now I can see how easy to do this (by adding a "New App") and how lame was this feature request :)

Closing this now, thanks for that great extension!

Hi,

I am revamping the code of this extension to extend in a simple way the supported terminal. In the next days I'll release a new version with also guake support.

Wow, that sounds really promising! Thanks for the news and keep up the good work :)

Hi,

I have evolved the CM extension to support also guake terminal. Attached you can find a preliminary version that i have not yet published.

Can you try it to check if guake support is correct.

Some notes:

• I don't know very well guake :)
• guakes does not support new windows, but only new tabs. But it is not possible open all tabs with a single command as the other terminals. So guake tabs are managed as windows and this is the reason why there is only the menu "Open all windows" (and not "Open all tabs")
• you must select guake terminal from setting dialog

Thanks for you feedback,

Stefano

Okay, it seems to do its job, thanks!

This addon is a lot usable then specifying bash commands as Apps per host IMHO, as "Open all in new windows" is really handy. Thanks again, I will use this new version from now (although I had to change python topython2 manually to the extensions.js)!

I'll test it again tomorrow and then I'll release on gnome.extension and github.

About python/pyhton2 problem, unfortunately some distro have different name for python2 sw. Some of these have only python name (which executes python2) and not python2.

Which distro have you?

I use Arch where the default python version is 3, so python points there.
