I'm hooked on Guake/Yakuake style terminals that come down from the top of the screen like a window-shade. I can get to my terminal from any desktop and hide it when I need to get back to the gui.

I really wish I'd sit down and vibe-code is an empty window-shade that lets me plug in any terminal I choose so that I could experiment with innovative terminals like this.

I went from Yakuake to Ghostty, and now simply use a keyboard shortcut+shell script to toggle the Ghostty window with `kdotool`...

I use it constantly and with 0.50 now it's smooth and stable to resize it dynamically with the IPC remote control protocol using kitten @ resize-os-window --action=os-panel --incremental lines=<N>

I am in a dull stupid meeting and just split the widest grin. Thank you! I gave a cursory look and didn't see that.
