Im looking for ways to increase my use of the terminal and so I want to have one around all the time without having to switch tabs. I have seen tiling window managers but I kinda don’t want to lose like windows snapping and such. Is there any way to attack a window to the taskbar in kde so that other programs won’t overlap it? I basically would like to have like 3 lines of a terminal across the bottom just above the start bar.
Not exactly what you’re asking for, but have you considered something like this?

Press a button, terminal drops down. Press it again and it rolls back up to the top out of sight. It’s based on how the console worked on Quake. I haven’t used it in a while, but my guess is that depending on what tiling WM you’re using you’ll get different levels of weird interactions with window geometry.
oh thanks. I sorta figured I might get some interesting suggestions. I had not even thought about a hotkey setup.
Just to note, if youre using KDE, use yakuake.
Way more features, customization options, etc, and made for KDE.
thanks. I did grab that and I do like how it works. I got some really good advice from this post.
