Im looking for ways to increase my use of the terminal and so I want to have one around all the time without having to switch tabs. I have seen tiling window managers but I kinda don’t want to lose like windows snapping and such. Is there any way to attack a window to the taskbar in kde so that other programs won’t overlap it? I basically would like to have like 3 lines of a terminal across the bottom just above the start bar.

    Just a future looking statement.

    Once you get more familiar with the terminal…

    • You will want several of them, each set up to do different things.
    • You will want more than a 3 line letterbox to see command output.

    I know you’re not there yet, but don’t let the fact that you’ve adopted a particular setup limit you in the future.

      yeah I actually started using gnu screen and doing ctrl-fun-alt f2 but I found it a bit cumbersome and I was not using it enough. I feel a bit silly but someone mentioned virtual desktops and that is the direction im going for now. easy to move over to and keeps persistent with reboots. I have one on one side for large output and two on the right for when its not as important. that is more than enough for my current use but hopefully if I get more back into the habit I will subdivide more.
