Yakuake

What is Yakuake?

Yakuake is a drop-down terminal emulator that utilizes the KDE Konsole technology. Designed with inspiration from in-game consoles like those found in the Quake series, Yakuake offers a terminal experience that can be seamlessly accessed by pressing a designated key, with the terminal interface sliding down from the top of the screen. Much like other KDE applications such as Kate, KDevelop, and Konqueror, Yakuake embeds the Konsole terminal functionality as a KPart component, allowing for a tightly integrated terminal experience within the application
