  • Add --drop-down CLI flag, that adds new behavior and keeps all the old behavior if not used
  • Behavior on first launch: create a surface, add a signal handler, render the terminal into that overlay surface
  • Behavior on later launches: find the process that was launched with "--drop-down" and send a signal to it (currently via spawning a process)
  • Handle USR1 signals for toggling dropdown
  • Custom right click context menu in dropdown mode, as maximizing makes no sense
  • Added setting: A secondary show-headers-dropdown that's only visible in drop down mode
  • Added setting: The height of the dropdown in px, I'd like to do relative but to my understanding wayland doesn't trivially allow that
  • Bug byepass in iced: When creating the overlay without any delay, the window is transparent but not "frosted"

This is hugely based on pop-os#673 and just rebased and refactored, as various menu things were broken for me.

I think this MR is relevant, because people are already vibe coding a non-working version of this: https://github.com/M0Rf30/cosmic-ext-quake-terminal

This was partially created with the help of AI.

  • I have disclosed use of any AI generated code in my commit messages.
    • If you are using an LLM, and do not fully understand the changes it is making to the code base, do not create a PR.
    • In our experience, AI generated code often results in overly complex code that lacks enough context for a proper fix or feature inclusion. This results in considerably longer code reviews. Due to this, AI authored or partially authored PRs may be closed without comment.
  • I understand these changes in full and will be able to respond to review comments.
  • My change is accurately described in the commit message.
  • My contribution is tested and working as described.
  • I have read the Developer Certificate of Origin and certify my contribution under its conditions.
