guake-indicator — A simple Appindicator that lets you send custom commands to Guake.

guake-indicator

guake-indicator lets you manage your favorite customized commands establishing a new connection with Guake dropdown terminal.

guake-indicator sticks to your "System Tray" and displays data retrieved from the Guake indicator configuration file (see FILES section for more details)

guake-indicator builds the menu according to ~/.guake.indicator/guake-indicator.xml XML file

If this configuration file does not exist a default one will be created.

Although Guake indicator has a built-in menu editor, you can customize this file according to your needs with your favorite text editor, just use this schema as a base to add new entries. The fields are self-explanatory, however, I'm going to give you a more in-depth description of each one:

The name that will show up in the indicator itself
the name of the guake terminal tab once it is opened (leave black if you don't want automatic autorenaming)
command to send to Guake through his DBUS interface
If set to yes, Guake indicator won't ask Guake to display his main window. open_in_tab The index of the Guake tab where guake-indicator will execute the command.Guake assigns index 0 to the first tab so put in this field the nth tab-1 number. If this tag has the attribute named="yes" it contains the name of the Guake tab lfcr If set to yes a LF (Line Feed) + CR (Carriage return) is sent to Guake after each line (by default only a line feed (ascii code 10) is sent. guakeindicatorscript If set to yes enables the Guake indicator scripting function

The above xml field are all optional (except menu_name) and must be stored within a XML Host parent field which in turn is enclosed within a HostGroup field.You can find more information and a xsd validation file at http://guake-indicator.ozzyboshi.com.
