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.
You must log in or # to comment.
My coworker has a separate monitor tilted vertically to have a permanently open terminal window.
I don’t think I would have the discipline to not use that much additional space for other things. I figured I mostly needed just three rows. For now im going with the person who just recommended using vitual desktops which on hindsite is kinda a smh kind of thing.

You could use yakuake, its a drop down terminal you can activate and hide with a hotkey, I’m quite fond of it.
I was going to suggest yakuake for the drop down ability and also because you can make the background transparent in varying degrees, thus able to see what’s beneath it.
Just a future looking statement.
Once you get more familiar with the terminal…
- You will want several of them, each set up to do different things.
- You will want more than a 3 line letterbox to see command output.
I know you’re not there yet, but don’t let the fact that you’ve adopted a particular setup limit you in the future.
Yakuake
Press F12 (or whatever) -> Terminal drops down, in focus and always on top -> Press F12 again -> Terminal disappears.
