-====== Drop-down Window ====== 
- 
-<note>The drop-down functionality was added in Xfce4-terminal 0.6.1.</note> 
- 
-Xfce4-terminal has the functionality to have 1 drop-down window. This mode is inspired from consoles in computer games such as Quake which slide down from the top of the screen when a key is pressed, and slide back up when the key is pressed again. 
- 
-===== Starting a Drop-down Window ===== 
- 
-You can start the drop-down mode by running ''<nowiki>xfce4-terminal --drop-down</nowiki>''. Since the application as no keybinding code, it is advised to [[:xfce:xfce4-settings:keyboard|Application Shortcuts]] for this. 
- 
-The first time ''<nowiki>xfce4-terminal --drop-down</nowiki>'' is passed to the application, it will create a drop-down window and show it on top of the active ((the monitor that contains the mouse pointer)) monitor. Each other time the command is executed, the drop-down window will toggle its visibility. 
-===== Main Window ===== 
- 
-When you start the drop-down window for the first time, the application opens a window on top of other windows at the top of the screen without window borders.
