If it doesn't, then it simply means you now manually press F12 to open Guake. Secondly (this part untested) the script is designed to type F12 for you, see if it works for your machine. This should now at least raise and focus the guest machine. Test hotkeyīe sure your VirtualBox Guest machine with Linux Mint is open, but not focused, for example example focus on notepad or something else in Windows. If there is none then just exit AutoHotkey and run AutoHotkey again. Tilda is another drop-down GTK-based terminal emulator like Guake.
TERMINAL GUAKE INSTALL
To install the Guake Terminal emulator on other Linux distros, you can refer to the installation tutorial on the official website. Right-mouse click to open the context menuįind the reload script option. To install Guake Terminal on Ubuntu, enter the following command in the terminal. To make changes effective you need to reload the script:įind the "H" icon for AutoHotkey portable This is the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL, WSL2, WSLg) Subreddit where you can get help installing, running or using the Linux on Windows. I generally have two tabs open, one for WSL and the other Powershell.
TERMINAL GUAKE UPDATE
You can update the text it is searching for inside the WinExist() conditions to better match what your version of VirtualBox has for its title bars. I use ConEmu which is Guake like on a Windows host. If WinExist("Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager") I'm not sure where to set Guake as the preferred app for 'Run in Terminal'. That is, when I right-click on a bash script file, click 'Open', and choose 'Run in Terminal', I want it to open in a new Guake tab. I'd like to set it as my preferred terminal application. Open this in any text editor such as notepadĪdd and save these new lines: raise guest machine if running or raise the manager I've recently installed Guake and like it a lot. Run the portable app, it will move a copy to your Windows My Documents\AutoHotkey.ahk where it will be easier to find One way is to simply be able to use a shortcut while in Windows, to quickly switch focus to the virtual machine, and then you can F12 to raise Guake or do whatever else you like.Īlthough VirtualBox itself has some keyboard shortcut options for focus, but I found they required too many keys, and easily conflicted with some other programs I wanted to use, so I went with using AutoHotkey portable.
