Even though it was initially built as a quick and accessible terminal, it is much more than that. + +Guake terminal offers a ton of features, and customizable options. Here, I’ll highlight the key features of the terminal along with the process of getting it installed on any of your Linux distribution. + +### Features of Guake Terminal + +![][4] + + * Keyboard Shortcut (**F12**) to launch the terminal anywhere as an overlay + * Guake terminal runs in the background for persistent access + * Ability to split tabs horizontally and vertically + * Change the default shell from available options (if any) + * Re-alignment option + * Change appearance of the terminal from a wide selection of color palettes + * Ability to save the content of the terminal to a file using GUI option + * Toggle Full screen option when needed + * You can easily save the tabs or open new tabs when needed + * Ability to restore tabs + * Option to configure and learn new keyboard shortcuts to quickly access the terminal and perform tasks + * Change colors of specific tabs + * Easily rename the tabs to quickly access what you already need + * Quick open feature to open text files directly from your terminal on your favorite editor with a click + * Ability to add your own command or scripts when starting up or showing up the Guake terminal + * Multi-monitor support + + + +![][5] + +Just to have fun, you can do a great deal of things. But, I also believe that power users can make use of the features to make their terminal experience easier and more productive. + +For the time I used it to test out a few things and write this article, I felt like I was summoning the terminal to be honest. So, I definitely find it cool! + +### Installing Guake Terminal on Linux + +![][6] + +**Guake Terminal is available through the default repositories on Ubuntu, Fedora, and Arch**. + +You can follow its official instructions to know the commands you can use or if you’re using an Ubuntu-based distro, simply type in: + +``` +sudo apt install guake +``` + +Do note that you may not get the latest version using this method. So, if you want to have the latest version, you can opt to use the PPA by [Linux Uprising][7] to get the latest version: + +``` +sudo add-apt-repository ppa:linuxuprising/guake +sudo apt update +sudo apt install guake +``` + +In either case, you can also get it using [Pypi][8] or from source by referring to the [official documentation][9] or the [GitHub page][10]. + +[Guake Terminal][10] + +What do you think about Guake Terminal? Do you think of it as a useful terminal emulator?
