YEAHCONSOLE(1)

👑 YEAHCONSOLE 👑

okay so bestie, gather round, because today we're talking about yeahconsole — the drop-down X terminal emulator wrapper. that's the whole name right there, no notes. it's giving "quake terminal but make it a whole vibe" 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

yeahconsole [-h] [-e command]

that's it. that's the whole thing. short. iconic. slay. 🎀

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so this manual page documents briefly the yeahconsole command. that's the job. that's what we're doing here.

real talk though — this manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. so like… we made one. for you. you're welcome, bestie 🫶

so what is yeahconsole, you ask? it's a wrapper for X terminal emulators that provide a drop-down terminal embedding other terminal emulators. literally a terminal that drops down from the top of your screen. like a little curtain of productivity. the way that it just appears when you need it? obsessed. 🔥

---

💖 OPTIONS 💖

here's a summary of options, and honestly there aren't many so you can't even be mad at me. and heads up: any other argument is passed to the X terminal emulator. yeah, it just hands them over. generous queen ✨

• -h — shows you a summary of options and supported xresources. like a little cheat sheet. a menu. a vibe check 📋
• -e command — command will be run in the X terminal emulator used. ⚠️ but listen closely bestie: if you specify this, it must be the last option, because everything after the -e will be interpreted as the command. everything. no takebacks. so put it at the end or suffer the consequences 😭

🦋 RESOURCES 🦋

so the resources from the embedded X terminal emulator will be used, and those are documented in the corresponding manpage for your X terminal emulator. not here. go look there. i'm not doing that research for you 💅

but the specific resources for yeahconsole? those are mine. those follow:

• restart — 0 or 1, and 1 should restart the terminal. Default is 0.
• term — the terminal to use. valid values: urxvt, urxvtc, xterm. Default is xterm.
• screenWidth — width of the terminal. Default is the display width.
• consoleHeight — number of lines of the console. Default is 10.
• xOffset — x position. Default is set to 0.
• aniDelay — delay for the slide animation. Default is 40.
• stepSize — step size in pixels for the animation. 0 will disable the animation. Default is set 1.
• handleWidth — width for the resize handle. Default is 3.
• handleColor — color for the resize handle. Default is grey70.
• toggleKey — key combo that toggles yeahconsole. Default is ControlAlt+y.
• keyBigger — increase height of yeahconsole. Default is Control+KP_Add.
• keySmaller — decrease height of yeahconsole. Default is Control+KP_Subtract.
• keyFull — toggle fullscreen mode. Default is Alt+F11.

look at all those little knobs to turn. customize her. make her yours. 🌈
