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.
This reply is in case you want to tile in KDE. I see you already found a solution with Yakuake / Guake tool and you don’t need to change to a tiling system just for that.
Well if you would use tiling window manager in KDE with the extension Krohnkite, it has a feature for doing exactly that. You can set a window to be a Dock (I manually chose the shortcut Meta+D for that) and it will attach to any side you want and not interfere with the other tiled windows anymore. And you don’t have to tile every window. In example on my Desktop 4, I set it to floating everything (which is no tiling at all) for games. You basically could set this floating mode be the default and whenever you want, you can start tiling specific Desktops or windows only.
