# DESC: turn any terminal into a dropdown terminal

# DEMO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVw2gD9iiOg

# DEPEND: coreutils xdotool wmutils (https://github.com/wmutils/core | https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/wmutils-git/)

# CLOG: 2021-02-10 use comm to match window name and class, this avoids terminal windows with different names

# get screen resolution width and height

ROOT=$(lsw -r)

width=$(wattr w "$ROOT")

# option 1: set terminal emulator manually

# my_term=urxvt

# my_term=sakura

my_term="xterm"

# my_term="alacritty"

# my_term=terminator

# my_term=gnome-terminal

# option 2: auto detect terminal emulator (note: make sure to only open one)

# get windows id from pid ex: 0x2a00125%

# maximize terminal emulator

wrs "$width" "$height" "$wid"

# toggle show/hide terminal emulator
