What is it?

Remember the days when playing Quake (or even as recent as CS:GO) where you pressed a key and the console came up? Wouldn’t it be very convenient if Windows did this? Enter WinGuake! WinGuake is a Windows version of the popular Guake Terminal for Linux. It allows you to use the Windows Command Prompt with just a few button presses, and to hide it just as easy!

Prerequisites

To run from source, you need a working version of Python 2.x with Tkinter (Python 3.x is untested and needs to be converted with future) installed and added to PATH, have psutil installed via pip, have AutoHotKey installed, and the latest version of PyWin32.

How to use

After the requirements are met, clone the repository to a safe location (or download as a ZIP): git clone https://github.com/chand1012/WinGuake.git Double click Console.ahk and just press Ctrl+Alt+T. Something like this should show up: To exit, just type exit into the console. AutoHotKey will run in the background for when you need to bring up the CMD again.
