quadkonsole – multiple consoles to make your life easier

Mon, 21 Nov 2011 10:46:58 +0000

First lets install quadkonsole:

yum install quadkonsole

Now, to launch the quadkonsole, just type quadkonsole in the run box (appears with Alt+F2).

You will by default see 4 console windows in single window but you can change that with command line options like so:

quadkonsole --rows 4 --columns 4

This will initiate windows with 16 consoles. How cool is that.

Today I was just wondering how good it would be to have a script to change the <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/vim" title="Vim (text editor)" rel="homepage" href="http://www.vim.org/">vim colorscheme from the <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/cmd_exe" title="Command Prompt" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command_Prompt">command prompt. The plan for the script was simply to print the list of available schemes and then let the user select the actions from there on. So, here is the result:

Here’s one script that you may find useful. A little variation or wrapper for this script can make your life colorful 🙂

You can write a wrapper to this to take one of the inputs randomly and then use it in alias to start <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/vim" title="Vim (text editor)" rel="homepage" href="http://www.vim.org/">vim.
