** Service Menu Use **
- Copy yakuakehere.sh in /usr/bin (ensure that it's executable)
- Copy yakuakehere.desktop in KDE_DIR/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus/
- Restart konqueror and test it with MouseRight->Actions->Open Yakuake here
** Default system terminal emulator **
- Copy yakuakehere.sh in /usr/bin (ensure that it's executable)
- Open Kcontrol -> System Settings -> Default Applications -> Change the
terminal emulator to "yakuakehere.sh"
- Now, if you press F4 in konqueror a new session of yakuakehere is showed!
Thanks to Contrast for the awesome idea!Enjoy!

using yakuake4 on kde4 and it is running allways. simply tried to run yakuakehere.sh, but it says "Yakuake is not running". So what's problem with yakuake4 on kde4 ? Anyone else tried on kde4 ?
same here :(
...that bothers me is I can't seem to get this integrated with the hotkey for "Open terminal here," which is how I pretty much always invoked this action. I tried changing the default terminal emulator to "yakuakehere.sh %f" under System Settings -> Default Applications, but when I press F4 in Konqueror, Yakuake just opens in ~ after displaying this output: clear mike@alexa:~$ cd '%f' bash: cd: %f: No such file or directory mike@alexa:~$ clear So obviously, %f isn't getting expanded to the actual working directory. What I can't figure out is WTH not, when it's doing it perfectly fine for Konsole. I've been trying to fix this for an hour or so without any progress (tried some minor tweaks to yakuakehere.sh, replacing /usr/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus/konsolehere.desktop with yakuakehere.desktop, setting the default terminal emulator to yakuakehere-key.sh - a one-line script whose only command is yakuakehere.sh, and probably a couple other things I don't remember at this point). If anyone knows how to "fix" this, I'd be greatly appreciative.
This hack is quite simple! :) You have to put "yakuakehere.sh" as default system emulator, and change the script: [code] ... #!/bin/bash ################################################################################ # Author: Alessio 'Slux' Di Fazio <slux83@gmail.com> # Author-website: http://www.capponcino.it/alessio # License: GPL-v3 ################################################################################ dcop yakuake if [ $? != "0" ]; then kdialog --error "Run Yakuake before" exit 1 fi #open a new session dcop yakuake DCOPInterface slotAddSession #get the id of the new session sess_id=`dcop yakuake DCOPInterface selectedSession` PWD=`pwd` #build command command="cd ""'"$PWD"'" #run commands dcop yakuake DCOPInterface slotRunCommandInSession $sess_id "$command" dcop yakuake DCOPInterface slotRunCommandInSession $sess_id "clear" #show the terminal dcop yakuake DCOPInterface slotToggleState ... [/code]
Awesome, works perfect now. Thanks!
the 1.1 version has this feature :)
Here's a little recommendation of mine for ensuring that slotToggleState doesn't end up hiding your already-shown Yakuake (something that's all to easy for users on dual-monitor setups) #show the terminal if [ `dcop yakuake yakuake-mainwindow#1 shown` == "false" ]; then dcop yakuake DCOPInterface slotToggleState fi
Not working properly for me if semi-transparent schema is selected. It's only draw the text with 100% background transparency so it's impossible to work. I use standart window manager and nvidia drivers.
It's strange... what version of yakuake you have? have you tryed to run yakuakehere.sh some/path ? @all: thanks for comments!
I seem to remember trying something like this that I saw on this site some time back, and not being able to get it to work properly. This does the job perfectly. Thanks!
"One of those things you always want to do 'when there is a few minutes time' but you never come around to..." exactly! :)
Thanks for the idea. One of those things you always want to do 'when there is a few minutes time' but you never come around to... So thanks ! Just a trivial improvement: change to top lines to open yakuake if it is not yet running: if [ $? != "0" ]; then yakuake else dcop yakuake DCOPInterface slotAddSession fi
