This script will activate gnome-terminal when you press INSERT (the key right to backspace) and will hide it when pressed again.

Using this script is better than tilda or guake or whatever because you can resize the terminal. You can clean the terminal and have all goods you have in normal terminal.

To install it under lubuntu/lxde open ~/config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml and add

Here is the code for the riseterminal.sh

#/bin/bash
XDO=/usr/bin/xdotool

#TERMINAL_ID=`$XDO  search --name Terminal | /usr/bin/tail -1`

raise_or_fall () {
  TERMINAL_ID=$($XDO search --class gnome-terminal | /usr/bin/tail -1)
  CURRENT_WINDOW_ID=`$XDO getwindowfocus`

  WIDS=`$XDO search --onlyvisible --class gnome-terminal`

  if [ "$CURRENT_WINDOW_ID" -eq "$WIDS" ]
  then
    # zenity --question --text="down"
    $XDO windowminimize $TERMINAL_ID
  else
    # zenity --question --text="up"
    # $XDO windowraise $TERMINAL_ID
    # $XDO windowfocus --sync $TERMINAL_ID
     $XDO windowactivate $TERMINAL_ID
  fi
}

if `ps aux | grep "[g]nome-terminal" > /dev/null`
then
