AI code disclosure. This extension and part of it's README was AI-generated under my supervision. Original concept, design desicions and testings throughout development has been made by human (me).
A GNOME Shell 50 extension that transforms the Ptyxis terminal into a fast, drop-down "Quake-style" terminal sized to 40% of the screen height.
-
Clone this repository into your GNOME Shell extensions directory:
git clone https://github.com/fadeouter/quake-ptyxis.git ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/quake-ptyxis@local -
Navigate to the extension directory:
cd ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/quake-ptyxis@local
-
Compile the schemas (Crucial Step): The extension uses GSettings for its keybindings. You must compile the schema before enabling the extension:
glib-compile-schemas schemas/
-
Log out and log back in.
-
Enable the extension via the Extensions app.
By default, the extension uses Ctrl + Esc (['<Primary>Escape']) to toggle the terminal.
To change this, edit /schemas/org.gnome.shell.extensions.quake-ptyxis.gschema.xml file, replace it with correct keybind, recompile schema and log out and log back in to the session.
