Please read all of this to fully understand options/features of yeahconsole... Since I'm lazy this file is also a CHANGELOG... New in 0.3.5: yOffset: y position (defaults to 0) xrandrSupport: draw yeahconsole on the screen with the currently selected window New in 0.3.4: Readded the help message (yeahconsole -h). Resizing the console with the mouse has been improved. New in 0.3.3: Support for rxvt-unicode has been added, you can specify yeahconsole*term:urxvt (or urxvtc if you have urxvtd running) in your .Xdefaults. An option to restart the terminal has been added (yeahconsole*restart: 1). All commandline option are passed to the terminal now (if you specify "-e someprog" it must be the last option) The autoconf crap has been removed.... Installation: make;make install Yeahconsole can be configured via xresources: put something like yeahconsole*foo:value in your .Xdefaults. "foo" can be any standard xresource from xterm (see man xterm) or: restart: 0 (default) or 1 should the terminal restart? term: terminal to use (valid:urxvt, urxvtc, xterm(default)) screenWidth: width (defaults to display width) consoleHeight: number of lines (defaults to 10) heightIncrease: number of pixels to increase the height of the window (defaults to 0 because the terminal usually reports it) xOffset: x position (defaults to 0) aniDelay: delay for the slide animation (defaults to 40) stepSize: step size for the animation (defaults to 1) handleWidth: width for the resize handle (defaults to 3) handleColor: color for the handle (defaults to grey70) Keycombos are specified as follows: [any combination of "Win" "Alt" "Control" or "None"]+[name of key] eg. ControlAlt+y, Control+asciitilde, Win+c, ControlAltWin+y ,None+Menu,.... (the order of modifiers doesn't matter) toggleKey: key combo that toggles yeahconsole (defaults to ControlAlt+y) keyBigger: increase height of yeahconsole (default: Control+KP_Add) keySmaller: decrease height of yeahconsole (default: Control+KP_Subtract) keyFull: toggle fullscreenmode (default: Alt+F11) xOffset and screenWidth are useful if you use a xinerama setup. Here is what mine looks like: yeahconsole*background:black yeahconsole*foreground:green yeahconsole*screenWidth:1152 yeahconsole*aniDelay:30 yeahconsole*toggleKey:None+Menu If you need the name of a "special" key use xev or have a look in /usr/include/X11/keysymdef.h. New in 0.3.2: Yeahconsole looks up it xresources by its name, that means you can have multiple instances of yeahconsole with different settings. To make this happen just make a symbolic link to yeahconsole with a different name, e.g yeahconsole2, and yeahconsole will look up it's resources in the form "yeahconsole2*foo:value". You have to specify atleast different toggle keys for all running instances. A "-e" option has been added to start an initial programm at startup. The console window can be switched to fullscreen by hitting Alt+F11 (settable via yeahconsole*keyFull). A "yeahconsole*stepSize:" option has been added to control the slide animation, any value greater 0 will be added to the stepsize so the animation will be faster and less cpu hungry. If you specify 0 the animation is disabled. New in 0.3.1: All focus issues got ironed out (I hope so). A dummy xerror function has been added to avoid crashes. Modifier and key are now specified with one resource(see below). Changed resource "height" "consoleHeight" since it interferes with xterm. New in 0.3: The console window can now be resized (hit Control + keypad {plus/minus} or simply drag the grey border with your mouse). Improved focus handling. The height is now counted in number of lines. Some new xresources (see below). New in 0.2: The modifier for the toggle key can now be configured through xresources.You can also use yeahconsole without a modifier.See below for details. Yeahconsole puts an xterm window on top of your screen that behaves like a console found in many games ( similar to kuake). It's visibility can be toggled by a keyboard shortcut (Control+Alt+y). You will need xterm version 168 or higher (comes with XFree86 4.2.1) to make this work.
