Hi,
Could you add quake mode support ?

[sedwards2009]

@cprog I've put your request in issue #93.

[cprog]

@sedwards2009 Thank you.

[lou-bi]

Hi, hope it's the place.
Do you plan to integrate a programmatic way of openning multiple Extraterm with own process running in?
Good job for the almost fullfilled roadmap !

[sedwards2009]

@BonLouis can you make a new issue here and describe in more detail what you mean? I don't quite understand what you are requesting.

[sedwards2009]

@BonLouis Also, the roadmap isn't approaching fulfillment. I just need to update it and fill in my stuff to do. 😄

[joedf]

add Quake mode and fullscreen to that list. 😎

[sedwards2009]

@joedf it is possible to set a global shortcut to open up Extraterm. So you can get fairly close to a quake mode.

No plans for full screen beyond just plain old maximising the window.
