Note when compiling from source

Do NOT use the Tarball packages automatically generated by GitHub on the Release pages. They won't work because one of the main components of Guake build system, PBR, requires the full Git history to be available when building from source. Note this does not impact source distribution packages you can download from Pypi.

Build from sources instructions are described on this page of the Online Documentation. Please read this carefully before opening an issue!

Split terminal functionnality

Split terminal functionnality http://guake.org/ticket/145 Reported by: LaMs Owned by: somebody Priority: minor Milestone:
Component: guake Version:
Keywords: Cc: mkudro@… Description

Yakuake and Terminator have this particular functionnality. I was using Yakuake when I was developing on KDE but now that I'm running on gnome I'm using Guake. Guake is perfect for me at the exception of this little functionality. Example of what I'm talking: http://www.kde-apps.org/content/preview.php?preview=2&id=29153&file1=29153-1.png&file2=29153-2.png&file3=29153-3.png&name=Yakuake
http://www.64bitjungle.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/screenshot-terminator.png

Having this in a drop down console like Guake would be very useful for an embedded developer addict to Vim like me.

Text search in the current terminal

Want to be able to make text search in the terminal http://guake.org/ticket/362 Reported by: sylock Owned by: somebody Priority: minor Milestone: 0.5.0 Component: guake Version:
Keywords: Cc:
Description

It would be great being able to make search on the output of the shells. For exemple, with a shorcut CTRL-f. And n for next match (and N for previous match). Being able to use regex in the search would be great either.

Crashes in libvte when loading session.json on startup
Be sure to check the existing issues (both open and closed!), and make sure you are running the latest version of Guake.

For how to run the latest Guake in your computer, please refer to Install from source.

Describe the bug

85% of the time, when starting guake, it crashes in libvte:

Expected behavior

Guake starts

Actual behavior

Guake crashes

To Reproduce

Install Arch Linux current, install guake, try to run guake. The package set causing this looks like:

Ctrl+D in the terminal does not close the tab anymore, but freezes the current tab

Version information

Guake version: 3.0.4 Linux version: Debian buster Gnome version: GNOME Shell 3.26.2

Expected behavior

When in a terminal, using Ctrl+D on an empty prompt exits the current terminal. In previous versions of Guake, this would act as if the tab was closed: if it's not the last tab, only this tab is closed, if it's the last tab, the full Guake window would hide until the next F12 key press.

Current bug

When using Ctrl+D on an empty prompt, the current tab freezes after printing "exit" on the terminal. The context menu can be opened on a right click, but selecting any option does not do anything. If another tab is opened, it can be used to right click but not all options work: 'New tab' works, 'Quit' does not work (probably blocked by the other tabs). Only solution to get back full control of Guake is to killall guake.

Allow Ctrl-Tab as an accelerator

Allow Ctrl-Tab as an accelerator http://guake.org/ticket/247 Reported by: frabjous Owned by: somebody Priority: minor Milestone:
Component: guake Version: 0.4.1 Keywords: keyboard shortcuts Cc:
Description

Thanks for the great software!

I would like to assign Ctrl-Tab and Ctrl-Shift-Tab as my keyboard shortcuts for switching to Next Tab and Previous Tab respectively. However, they are not allowed when I go into Guake preferences, click on Ctrl-PageUp/PageDown and it shows choose new acceleator, it simple beeps at me if I press Ctrl-Tab.

Is this because the shell itself uses Ctrl-Tab?

Feature request: hook for running script each time the Guake window become visible

Guake is running well here on Ubuntu 16.04 except for little thing: I use an international keyboard layout in the desktop environment but for the terminal I want to use the US keyboard. I have made the layouts available and can switch between them by a key combination. However, I have to do this anew each time Guake becomes visible. For some reason the layout is always reset to the standard one. That becomes tiresome quite soon. So I was wondering if there was a way to issue a script for each tab every time that Guake becomes visible. I have tried the startup script option but of course that script is only run once and does not help much in my case. Also, I toyed around with the idea of running 'guake -s $TAB -e' for each tab but that executes the command directly in the shell which is quite intrusive. Toggling the visibility ten times would clutter each tab with ten identical calls to a script. Maybe even simpler: would it be possible to select the keyboard layout in the settings? Cheers!

guake centered on screen under Gnome Wayland

System: Acer laptop E5-575G (no external monitor connected) Distro: Arch Linux Gnome Shell: 3.32.1 Wayland: 1.17.0 Guake version: 3.6.1 or 3.6.2

guake drop down terminal displays in the center of the screen under gnome wayland if gnome tweaks "Center New Windows" is enabled under the Windows tab. With "Center New Windows" enabled, the quake preferences for Geometry under Main Window have no effects.

For the guake properties selected in the above screenshot, I believe the terminal should still be displayed at the top.

I have tested this under gnome Xorg with the same guake preferences and with Tweaks "Center New Windows" enabled, the terminal is displayed at the top as one would expect.

Under Arch Linux, reverting the guake package back to version 3.5.0 brought back the correct/expected behavior under gnome wayland.

Security fix breaks `guake -e`

In version 3.8.5, execute_command has been removed from DBus https://github.com/Guake/guake/issues/1796

0.38.3 (2022-11-08)

Fixed install failure when used with --no-binary, reported on Ubuntu 20.04, by removing setup_requires from setup.cfg

0.38.2 (2022-11-05)

Fixed regression introduced in v0.38.1 which broke parsing of wheel file names with multiple platform tags

0.38.1 (2022-11-04)

Removed install dependency on setuptools

The future-proof fix in 0.36.0 for converting PyPy's SOABI into a abi tag was faulty. Fixed so that future changes in the SOABI will not change the tag.

0.38.0 (2022-10-21)

Dropped support for Python < 3.7

Updated vendored packaging to 21.3

Replaced all uses of distutils with setuptools

The handling of license_files (including glob patterns and default values) is now delegated to setuptools>=57.0.0 (#466). The package dependencies were updated to reflect this change.

Fixed potential DoS attack via the WHEEL_INFO_RE regular expression

Fixed ValueError: ZIP does not support timestamps before 1980 when using SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH=0 or when on-disk timestamps are earlier than 1980-01-01. Such timestamps are now changed to the minimum value before packaging.

0.37.1 (2021-12-22)

Fixed wheel pack duplicating the WHEEL contents when the build number has changed (#415)

Fixed parsing of file names containing commas in RECORD (PR by Hood Chatham)

maximize window having several splits

Hi, I have been using guake for a few days now and I find it very powerful. I was used to terminator and I usually have 4 splits open in the same shell. When I want to work on a particular one sometimes I want to maximize it and with "Strg" + "Schift" + "x" I can maximize/minimize it.

I have been looking in preferences and I can't find any shortcut for it.

Does this feature exist?

3.8.1(Oct 25, 2021)
3.8.1 is a bugfix release mainly targeting a major regression in keyboard shortcuts, though it also comes with some minor added features and updates. More bugfix updates are in the works to resolve other less pressing issues that didn't get addressed in this release.

In other news, an officially endorsed PPA is in the works for Guake as an upcoming alternative method to install Guake. Watch this space for updates.

Release Summary

Added line height and character width adjustment options

Fix keybinding regressions

Lazy focus loss to avoid closing on short-term losses

Moved guake.desktop.metainfo.xml to $datadir

New Features

Feature request: Setting line-spacing / line-height #849

Support of short term focus loss and avoid folding #1643

Bug Fixes

Some shortcut keys are abnormal #1939

Notes for Package Maintainers

Glade layout file upgraded with 3.38.2 from last used 3.22.2, should still be valid but some things may be deprecated/renamed.

guake.desktop.metainfo.xml has been moved to $datadir in Makefile

3.8.0(Oct 9, 2021)
This has been a long time since the latest official releases. More than one year without real update, unfortunately. I have pretty much stepped back on the role of maintainer, linux isn't my main development environment anymore, and Guake is so linked with the GTK system I cannot debug or do anything without having to start a VM.

@Davidy22 and @mlouielu have started taking care of Guake and they are helping a lot on the boring duties of the package maintainance: ticket triage, bugfixes, preparing releases...

Discussion about this release has been opened here.

There have been lot of minor changes and bug fixes it is not easy to summaries in one sentence, but here is the automatically generated changelog.

Release Summary

Adds "Galizur" Theme

Adds Shades of Purple Theme

Default to the system theme, make having guake deviate be optional.

Add copy on select option to copy to regular clipboard

Re-implemented the refocus functionality.

This functionality allows the user to return the focus to an open guake window. It happened to be partially be maintained but faced issues in the migration to Gtk3.

The functionality was revived, partially based on commented-out code found in Guake.show_hide().

Bring back GUAKE_TAB_UUID

Known Issues

removes the broken feature, where double-clicking on the tab bar opened a new tab #1439

Upgrade Notes

If a different theme from system default was already selected and desired, users may need to uncheck "Use system default theme" in properties->general

Will be disabled by default

Will have to manually change keyboard shortcuts to use tab on existing installations

If setting is undesired, uncheck the hide tab if one tab option in settings

Add close tab to d-bus interface.

Should fix the errors with malformed schema files when upgrading guake.

Deprecations

Notes for Package Maintainers

Add close tab to d-bus interface.

Should resolve issues with the gschemas.compiled file. Make sure that the location org.guake.gschema.xml is being saved to is user executable if guake is installed in userspace so that guake can compile and create gschemas.compiled.

If the destination for org.guake.gschema.xml cannot be user executable, make sure to include:

glib-compile-schemas [schema directory]

In the installation script, replacing [schema directory] with the place org.guake.gschema.xml is being saved.

Wayland is a bit more well supported. The X11 backend is now used by default for GDK and it seems to make the shortcut works under most situation.

A more cleaner solution would be to develop a GAction (vote for this feature here])

New Features

Known Issues

Multiline url are sometimes not handled correctly.

Users of Byobu or Tmux as default shell should disable the "login shell" option (in the "Shell" panel). This uses an option, --login, that does not exist on these two tools.

Bug Fixes

Fix duplication in theme list (#1304)

Fix right click selection in Midnight Commander

Corrected usage of Vte.Regex.new_for_match to fix regular expression matching (hyperlinks, quick open) on VTE >0.50 (#1295)

URL with ' (simple quote) and () (parenthesis) are now captured by hyperlink matcher. This may causes some issues with log and so that use parenthesis around hyperlinks, but since parenthesis and quotes are valid characters inside a URL, like for instance URL created by Kibana, they deserve the right to be shown as proper url in Guake.

User can still select the URL in the terminal if he wishes to capture the exact url, before doing a Ctrl+click or a right click.

For developers, it is advised to end the URL with a character that cannot be used in URL, such as space, tab, new line. Ending with a dot (.) or a comma (,) will not be seen as part of the URL by Guake, so most logs and traces that adds a dot or a comma at the end of the URL might still work.

3.1.0(Apr 11, 2018)
Release Summary

This version of Guake brings mostly bug fixes, and some new features like "Quick Open on selection". I have also reworked internally the Quick Open so that it can automatically open files from logs from pytest and other python development tools output. However, there might still some false positive on the hovering of the mouse in the terminal, the most famous being the output of ls -l which may have the mouse looks like it sees hyperlinks on the terminal everywhere. Click does nothing but its an annoying limitation.

Package maintainers should read the "Notes for Package Maintainers" of this release note carefully.

New Features

New "start at login" option in the settings (only for GNOME) #251

Add --verbose/-v parameter to enable debug logging. Please note the existing -v (for version number) has been renamed -V.

Support for hyperlink VTE extension (described here ) #945 (Untested, as it requires VTE 0.50)

Fix several issues on Quick Edit:

quick open freezes guake

support for systems with PCRE2 (regular expression in terminal) disabled for VTE, like Ubuntu 17.10 and +.

This might disable quick open and open url on direct Ctrl+click. User can still select the wanted url or text and Cltr+click or use contextual menu.

See this discussion on Tilix, another Terminal emulator that suffurs the same issue.

quick open now appears in contextual menu (#1157)

bad translation update on the contextual menu. This causes new strings that was hidden to appear for translators.

Fix quick open on pattern "File:line" line that was not opening the wanted file.

Some systems such as Ubuntu did displayed Guake with a translated interface (#1209). The locale system has been reworked to fix that.

There might be broken translations, or not up-to-date language support by Guake. A global refresh of all existing translations would be welcomed. Most has not been updated since the transition to Guake 3, so these languages support might probably be unfunctional or at least partialy localized.

A big thank you for all the volunteers and Guake enthousiats would often update their own translation to help guake being used world-wide.

Help is always welcomed for updating translations !

Notes for Package Maintainers

The setup mecanism has changed a little bit. Some maintainers used to patch the source code of Guake to change the pixmap, Gtk schema or locale paths directly in the guake/globals.py file. This was due to a lack of flexibility of the installation target of the Makefile.

The make install target looks now a little bit more familiar, allowing distribution packager to set the various paths directly with make flags.

For example:

sudo make install \ prefix=/usr \ DESTDIR=/path/for/packager \ PYTHON_SITE_PACKAGE_NAME=site-package \ localedir=/usr/share/locale

The main overrides are:

IMAGE_DIR: where the pixmap should be installed. Default: /usr/local/share/guake/pixmaps

localedir: where locales should be installed. Default: /usr/local/share/locale

GLADE_DIR: where the Glade files should be installed. Default: /usr/local/share/guake

gsettingsschemadir: where gsettings/dconf schema should be installed. Default: /usr/local/share/glib-2.0/schemas/

I invite package maintainers to open tickets on Github about any other difficulties encountered when packaging Guake.

New Features

Add window displacement options to move guake away from the screen edges

User can manually enter the name of the GTK theme it wants Guake to use. Note there is no Preference settings yet, one needs to manually enter the name using dconf-editor, in the key /apps/guake/general/gtk-theme-name. Use a name matching one the folders in /usr/share/themes. Please also considere this is a early adopter features and has only been tested on Ubuntu systems. Dark theme preference can be se with the key /apps/guake/general/gtk-prefer-dark-theme.

Allow make install-system to be run as non root user and print a message if so.

Quick open can now open file under selection. Simply select a filename in the current terminal and do a Ctrl+click, if the file path can be found, it will be open in your editor. It allows to virtually open any file path in your terminal (if they are on your local machine), but requires the user to select the file path first, compared to the Quick Open feature that finds file names using regular expression.

Also notes that is it able to look in the current folder if the selected file name exists, allowing Ctrl+click on relative paths as well.

Line number syntax is also supported: filename.txt:5 will directly on the 5th line if your Quick Open is set for.

Bug Fixes

Quick Open functionnality is restored #1121

Unusable Guake with "hide on focus lose" option #1152
