Description ilkerk 2019-12-28 13:40:16 UTC 
Hello, 
I would like to use two instances of yakuake (mapped to two different shortcuts). I think currently it is restricted to only one instance. So this is actually a wish not a bug report.

A workaround question: 
Can I achieve what I want by changing the application name and compiling it? If so what should I change in the source code? 

Thank you and keep up with the great work...

I am not sure if this is the right way to do but I tried below and it seems working: 

In main cpp: application name set to yakuake2 (using app.setApplicationName )
In yakuake.kcfg :  yakuakerc is replaced with yakuake2rc 

After compiling, I can now run two instances of yakuake (each assigned to different shortcut and different settings) without any visible problems. 
However, I think both processes share common resources (such dbus addresses etc). I don't know if I should be concerned about possible conflicts?
