Hi,
It's good to know that those drop-down terminals also work in qtile. But
what I am actually looking for is some tool like Scratchpad that can
make ANY application windows act in drop-down style. If there is no
existed tool, I may write one.
By the way, how to make a window "sticky" in qtile.
Thank you very much.

Hi,
I am switching from Awesome wm to qtile. One thing that I cannot find is a
drop-down application manager like Awesome's Scratchpad. The Scratchpad
allows me to use a key to run an application (if the application has not
been run before) or toggle the visibility of this application's window,
which can make the application act like the drop-down terminal Quake (
http://guake.org/).
I know several users who use guake, I've used Yakuake (a long time
ago), and tilda. As long as the window is matched as a floating window
by default, it should Just Work.
If you want to run applications not via hotkeys, I suggest using the
prompt widget; a configuration example:
https://github.com/qtile/qtile-examples/blob/master/tych0/config.py#L43
https://github.com/qtile/qtile-examples/blob/master/tych0/config.py#L107
There are also things like dmenu.

Does qtile or some third-party package provides something like this?
Thanks!
