Description erik_hahn 2008-05-20 23:54:13 UTC
Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
OS:                Linux

Most command line switches Konsole features would make sense in Yakuake as well:

-profile <file>          Name of profile to use for new Konsole instance
  --list-profiles           List the available profiles                    
  --new-tab                 Create a new tab in an existing window rather than creating a new window          
  --workdir <dir>           Set the initial working directory of the new tab or window to 'dir'               
  --notransparency          Disable transparent backgrounds, even if the system supports them.
  --force-transparency      Try to enable transparency, even if the system does not appear to support it.
  -p <property=value>       Change the value of a profile property.
  -e <cmd>                  Command to execute

> -profile <file> 
>   --list-profiles

Requires functionality the Konsole KPart does not offer.


> --new-tab  

The D-Bus interface provides a way to open new tabs.


>  --workdir <dir>        

I don't think the KPart allows this either.


>  --notransparency
>  --force-transparency

Won't be implemented. "--notransparency" is provided by a config dialog option, and "--force-transparency", which I presume disables the check for the availability of an ARGB visual, is unnecessary.


>  -e <cmd>

That's essentially a dupe of bug #149518. It's planned, but non-trivial for some reasons.


>  -p <property=value>

I think the Konsole KPart allows doing this via some form of escape codes, but I'm unsure whether it's really useful. Might investigate.
Comment 2 Jani "robsku" Janegirl S. 2025-07-04 19:46:19 UTC
Not a Konsole option, but a suggestion:

--open
--retract

For implementing different ways to open and retract Yakuake from scripts, other applications, launcher icons, swiping down from top of screen on a touchscreen, or any other way that is supported by users DE or WM, or that they can implement by other means.
