E20 is out. Straight from the horse's mouth:
The E20 development cycle has come to a close, with 1890 patches submitted by over 50 developers in the course of 441 days.
25+ reported Coverity analyzer issues and 165 tickets were addressed during this time (based on commit message tagging).
I'd like to personally thank everyone who contributed, whether by submitting patches, writing documentation, reporting bugs, or simply providing feedback on IRC.
The bug reporting MVP for this cycle was @ApB with 231 submitted tickets: an impressive echievement, though I regret that only about 70% of these tickets were able to be solved.Release Highlights
- Full Wayland support
- New screen management infrastructure and dialog
- New audio mixer infrastructure and gadget
- Many internal widgets replaced with Elementary
- Improved FreeBSD support
- Geolocation module
The complete log can be seen here.
Every time they release a new major version I feel compelled to try it, then I remember why I don't dig Enlightenment. It's just too hardcore a desktop environment for me. Any of you lot use it regularly or do I have company in my ass-pansy-ness?

You configured a keyboard shortcut to run a terminal to run guake to run... WTF?! Here, throw this into your ~/.i3/config:
# the start button
set $WIN Mod4
#j4-dmenu-desktop binded to start+d:
bindsym $WIN+d exec --no-startup-id j4-dmenu-desktop --dmenu="dmenu -i -b -fn '-*-fixed-*-*-normal-*--*-*-*-*-*-*-8'" --term="terminology"
# dmenu binded to shift+start+d
bindsym $WIN+Shift+d exec dmenu_run -b -fn '-*-fixed-*-*-normal-*--*-*-*-*-*-*-8'
#https://github.com/enkore/j4-dmenu-desktop (mandatory since dmenu is horribly slow on it's own.)
#https://www.enlightenment.org/about-terminology (say what you will about Enlightenment, but the EFL based Terminology is the best terminal emulator around.).
#IF you insist you can just bind guake instead of j4-dmenu-desktop but I honestly don't know why you'd even bother.
compiling...

A bit harsh, but thanks, you pointed me in the right direction (what you wrote threw error messages, but even that was informative...):
I just added
bindsym $mod+g exec guake
and all is good.
Thanks again (new to i3, but enjoying it: AND learned something new, so yes... thanks!)
Will explore the other options in config!
Will have to look up what j4-demenu-desktop is... not installed on my system.
