Unique instance/window per monitor.

[NOFUNEVER]

I pretty much always work with a separate terminal windows open on top in each monitor with lesser used items hiding behind them and the center monitor split to hell with tmux.

Guake provides me exactly what I want in that it lets me quickly expose what is open behind the terminal and then bring the terminal back to front, but it falls flat in that it only offers a single window at a time. As such the highly desirable ability to toggle the terminal in and out of view with a single button is only available to on one of three terminal windows I keep open while i'm still running gnome terminal on my bordering portrait monitors. These too i would like the ability to quickly move in and out of view at a key press.

I like the toggle feature following the mouse but instead of having the same terminal follow the mouse around having the toggle key activate a different terminal depending on which monitor the mouse was sitting on would be a literal dream.

Should be same as feathub

It turns out Tilda offers this functionality. That is I can run more than one instance and have each assigned to a monitor. However it's aesthetic and theme controls aren't on par with Guake and it honestly feels a bit slower too.

I'm currently attempting to make the most of the fact that prefer the look and feel of guake but can't live with the single window limitation by using guake on my primary monitor and tilda on my other two. I'll happily abandon tilda for a pure guake solution should multiple windows /instances become supported.

I think this involve with dbus (since we use dbus to manage IPC), to separate assign Guake to each monitor (plus not open multiple on each screen)

Also, how could I do this with tilda, can you guide me? I can only open tilda in the same screen...

I was also thinking about this, i considered running two separate guake processes with different config files but haven't gotten around to trying it yet (with a different keybinding per window, but it's one more thing to remember and not quite ideal)
