I guess, Yakuake/Guake , are terminals
Gedit and kate are editors, I used to never have any problem running Gedit from a terminal, can't say I have ever tried kate.
From both Xterm, and XFCE4-terminal, I run most any editor I want, usually I use Leafpad, From the console, nano, joe, pico or vi, and ed will all work from a console.
I have never heard of a terminal that comes with a editor built in,... a terminal, or cli is what is what I use to start programs and utilities, such as a editor, file manager, etc. Or these programs usually can be started from a menu, in the WM or DE.
This question really does not make much sense to me, Has the OP done any searches on this, ? Does the OP understand what a terminal is ?

If you are using a terminal, type , for example:

Code: Select all

$ gedit 
it should
start "gedit", of course if you do not have gedit installed, it will not be able to start it. If this Yakuake or Guake are not being run with Xwindows,Xorg, or some display manager, then editors like gedit,leafpad, and so on , can not be run, only nano, pico, joe, ed, or vi, and some others maybe.

Had some fun with this, here is some screen shots that Bryan made for me,

===== and a terminal (xfce4-terminal) with nano (below)

Note, when I saved the file with Leafpad , I named it "terminal-with-leafpad.txt", and when I open with the terminal, with nano, I did not save it as another file name, so the filename "terminal-with-leafpad.txt" is kind of misleading , it is the terminal with nano. Sorry about that.
So to sum it up , you could run nano, or one of the others mentioned with your Yakuake/Guake, but if you want something like gedit, kate, leafpad, etc, those would be opened outside of the terminal.

As far as I know , there is none, of any kind, that is based also on a search,
keywords "Terminals with text editors", and it appears there are none. There was one hit, explaining the difference between a terminal and text editor.
You can use the terminal, and just the 'cat' command to write a file, but that is not at all like "Gedit", etc,... I have done that in a emergency , and it was a base system, no editors were installed, not even vi or ed. But I suppose that is another topic.

Sorry guys, I think I didnt expain myself very well.. I was talking about a configurable rollback gedit/kedit lateral window, kind of Yakuak/Guake windows behavior. So that way we would have a gedit/kate running in background, and with a Hot-key we would open side the editor. It would come up in a rollback fashion really cool, cos editor would opened inmediatlly and would be rollback autohidden if picked that option. Everytime I open gedit or kedit I tend to lateral snap it and resized it to 3/4 screen parts.. for that I have to use a "wmctrl" (script). It would be interasting to have available an app with a Yakuake mode operation for embedded any others apps like in this case gedit/kate. :roll:

I use this with openbox keyboard shortcuts Ctrl+F10 Ctrl+F9 Ctrl+F8 but the mouse-wheel section could be easily modified to launch any application. You'd need to change the wmctl command to suit your editor and window sizes.

fittstool

Code: Select all

[TopRight]
LeftButton=killall xmessage; xdotool key Ctrl+F10            
MiddleButton=killall xmessage; xdotool key Ctrl+F8            
RightButton=killall xmessage; xdotool key Ctrl+F9           
WheelUp=maxall                              
WheelDown=minall                            
Enter=xmessage -buttons -centre  "LMB=Split-V MMB=Lower RMB=Split-H Wheel=Maxall/Minall"

Code: Select all

maxall
#!/bin/bash
window_ids=$(wmctrl -l | cut -f1 -d " ")
for window_id in $window_ids
do
    wmctrl -i -r "$window_id" -b add,maximized_vert,maximized_horz
done

Code: Select all

minall
#!/bin/bash
window_ids=$(wmctrl -l | cut -f1 -d " ")
for window_id in $window_ids
do
    wmctrl -i -r "$window_id" -b remove,maximized_vert,maximized_horz
done
