Guake is a top-down terminal for Gnome, in the style of Yakuake for KDE, Tilda or the terminal used in Quake.
Guake’s properties window supports configuring keyboard shortcuts, appearences, main window height, etc. Unfortunately, the width is fixed and maximal.
Guake Preferences
Guake is available in Ubuntu universe repository.
Talking about Terminal, we have been working on the same default terminal for a long time. Why not change it a little. Keeping this in mind, we have selected two cool alternatives to replace the default Ubuntu terminal for your basic to advanced operations. Both of them are unique in their own way and serve the main stream purposes as well as some special purposes.

Quake is a first person shooter game and design inspiration for Guake Terminal Emulator came from consoles in computer games such as Quake which slide down from the top of the screen when a key is pressed, and slide back up when the key is pressed again. Guake is originally inspired from KDE's Yakuake.

I have been a heavy user of reverse-search-history( Ctrl+R ) functionality in gnome-terminal(Default terminal client in Ubuntu). Recently I started using Guake drop-down terminal in my system. Loved Guake for its easy access, but couldn't find any revere-search-history functionality or key-mapping for it. Is there such a thing available for Guake, or is there any workaround solutions for it?
I have post a tutorial using Compiz to set a transparent terminal window stick on Ubuntu wallpaper, but I failed setting it up in Ubuntu 12.04 Unity. So here’s an alternative for some want a transparent terminal on Ubuntu 12.04 wallpaper using tilda.
Tilda is a highly customizable Linux terminal window.
Most of the time I use Guake as terminal emulator. Today I wanted to start a program from gnome-terminal and it tells me that it's not installed currently, although I ran the program a minute ago on Guake... When I echo $TERM, I get xterm on both, however echo $PATH in gnome-terminal differs. Does anyone know what this is about ?
To enter Root Terminal in Ubuntu, use Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal. Then type ’sudo -s’ and hit return. Type in your administrator password, hit [Enter] and you’re done.
Hi,
If you don't know, alt+d is used to delete a word forward. But now it is just typing 'd' in the terminal, as if I've not pressed 'alt'
This key combination stopped working since a week, I have done no upgrades/installs wrt to gnome-terminal/gnome package.
What I've tried:
1. Installed few more terminals to check if it works in other..
tty = Works!
