Guake - Windows 10 + Bash

Better late then never, but looks like Windows Terminal 1.9 will support this:

Quake mode

Windows Terminal now comes with quake mode! Quake mode allows you to quickly open a >new terminal instance from anywhere in Windows by typing Win+`. The quake window >will appear on the top half of your screen and can easily be dismissed with the >same keyboard shortcut. If you want to further customize how you can summon the >terminal, check out the new features we have added for global summon on our docs site.

I was wondering that myself and wrote a simple AutoHotkey script to emulate this behaviour. You can get it here: .

I recommend Qonsole. It can show a drop down terminal just use Cmd.

Here is supported Features:

• Custom hotkey
• Slide up & down animation
• Enable Ctrl+v Console pasting
• Transparency options
• Configurable with cmd & console2
• Background screen dimmer
• Internal Update check, (automatic, 5 min after start up)
• Optionally Run Qonsole when Windows Starts
• More..
