Hi Nautilor,

Thank you for this little script just as I like, simple and efficient.
I am just wondering about some little things strange, probably a first version you corrected after:

• The function 'is running' check if the drop_terminal process is running, not if the window is hide or displayed ! So, I guess, what we both want to do is to toggle the visibility of the window and not restart every time the drop_down process. So I guess another function is necessary. On bspwm I use:

function status {
    WID=`wmctrl -lx | grep "drop_terminal.drop_terminal" | grep -v "grep" | awk '{print $1}'`
    state=$(bspc query -N -n .hidden)
    [[ "${state,,}" == *"${WID,,}"* ]] && echo 1 || echo 0
}

Any function which check the hidden/visible status of the window can work. the WID check can be replaced by something like WID=cat $file, where $file refers to a file written when the 'spawn' function launches the drop_terminal, putting there the window id ; maybe faster ?

Then, the function 'toggle' checks 'status' and not 'is running' (if [ status -eq 0 ]; then...)

• The function "show" don't exit if 'is running', but if it is visible, but as personally I just use the toggle function, which checks already if the window is visible, I just deleted this condition from 'show'. On bspwm:

function show {
    WID=`cat $file`
    bspc node $WID -g hidden=off && bspc node -f $WID
    exit
}

• The verification of 'is running' to spawn the terminal if it is not, I do it at the beginning of the script :

if [ `is_running` -eq 0 ]; then
   spawn
fi

[ $# -eq 0 ] && help
[ "$1" = "hide" ] && hide
[ "$1" = "show" ] && show
[ "$1" = "toggle" ] && toggle

Now I seems to me this code has a little more sense !
