 |
|
This is tip is for anyone that uses konqueror and yakuake.
Konqueror has a very nice feature: when F4 is pressed it opens konsole on the current dir.
Here's how to open a yakuake tab instead of konsole (tested with yakuake 2.8.1):
| Code: |
dcop yakuake DCOPInterface slotAddSession
if [ $? != 0 ]; then
# failing back to xterm
xterm
exit
fi
a=`dcop yakuake DCOPInterface selectedSession`
b=`dcop yakuake DCOPInterface selectedTerminal`
dcop yakuake DCOPInterface slotRunCommandInSession $a $b "cd `pwd`"
# this makes yakuake visible
dcop yakuake DCOPInterface slotToggleState
|
Now just rebind the F4 key call this script.
If you're lasy just like me just rm konsole and make a symlink
| Code: |
ln -s this_script.sh /usr/bin/konsole
|

Nice post ld50. Couldn't it fall back to konsole?
| Code: |
#!/bin/sh
dcop yakuake DCOPInterface slotAddSession || exec konsole
a=`dcop yakuake DCOPInterface selectedSession`
b=`dcop yakuake DCOPInterface selectedTerminal`
dcop yakuake DCOPInterface slotRunCommandInSession "$a" "$b" "cd `pwd`"
# this makes yakuake visible
dcop yakuake DCOPInterface slotToggleState
|
I love yakuake, so this is nice, thanks :-) |

I deleted konsole 
I also found a bug, if the path has spaces it doesnt work, adding some double quotes fixes it:
| Code: |
#!/bin/sh
dcop yakuake DCOPInterface slotAddSession || exec xterm
a=`dcop yakuake DCOPInterface selectedSession`
b=`dcop yakuake DCOPInterface selectedTerminal`
dcop yakuake DCOPInterface slotRunCommandInSession "$a" "$b" "cd \"`pwd`\""
# this makes yakuake visible
dcop yakuake DCOPInterface slotToggleState
