This package provides configurable, drop-down Emacs frames, similar to drop-down terminal windows programs, like Yakuake. Each frame can be customized to display certain buffers in a certain way, at the desired height, width, and opacity. The idea is to call the `yequake-toggle' command from outside Emacs, using emacsclient, by binding a shell command to a global keyboard shortcut in the desktop environment. Then, with a single keypress, the desired Emacs frame can be toggled on and off, showing the desired buffers. ;; Installation ;;; MELPA If you installed from MELPA, you're done. ;;; Manual Install these required packages: + a Then put this file in your load-path, and put this in your init file: (require 'yequake) ;; Usage Run one of these commands: `yequake-toggle': Toggle a configured Yequake frame. This is mainly intended to be called from outside Emacs. So: 1. Start an Emacs daemon. 2. Run in a shell: emacsclient -n -e "(yekuake-toggle "FRAME-NAME")" If you bind that shell command to a global keyboard shortcut, you can easily toggle the frame on and off. ;; Tips + You can customize settings in the `yequake' group. ;; Credits Inspired by Benjamin Slade's `equake' package:
