Vision

------

I want a terminal that fits in the gnome-shell spirit: elegant, fast, simple, straight to the point.

It is an extension (easy to install), it provides a nice default shortcut, a fast, but non-disruptive animation,

does not consume anything if never used, etc. but **it will not get all the features of gnome-terminal**, that really is

not the point. Use guake or yakuake instead if you want a full-fledged equivalent (albeit looking less integrated).

Of course, I'm opened to suggestions, but please do not ask for ultra advanced settings nobody will ever need,

the code is already complex enough for reviewers to handle.

The only "controversial" feature I'm enclined to add at this point is multiple tabs support, because I myself am

used to it, but even I can open a gnome-terminal with multiple tabs already for long working sessions: that

complements this extension quite well. But it will not impact regular users with no tab: the terminal must remain

slick by default.

As a side note, a lot of things can **not** be done with bindings and thus extensions.
