Yakuake on OS X – Almost
For a while now (pretty much since I’ve been using Linux) I’ve been using yakuake, and I’ve been looking for something similar for OS X (at the moment I tend to ssh from my desktop to my OS X machine to do anything console like).
I found visor which wraps terminal.app, but overall this is a poor replacement primarily for the lack of tab support (I use tabs a lot in yakuake, at the moment on my desktop I have ~15 open)
I tried to get yakuake working on OS X a while ago and failed (it wouldn’t compile) so gave up, recently however I decided to try again and have made better progress.
This is what I did, its probably not the best way of doing it (for example, the initial 3GB download could probably be reduced).
