Verve

The Verve panel plugin is a comfortable command line plugin for the Xfce panel. It supports several nice features, such as:

• Command history
• Auto-completion (including command history)
• Open URLs and eMail addresses in your favourite applications
• Focus grabbing via D-BUS (so you can bind a shortcut to it)
• Custom input field width

Once added to the panel, you can use the following keys to control Verve:

• TAB to iterate through auto-completion entries
• UP and DOWN arrows to iterate through the command history
• CTRL+ENTER to run a command in a terminal emulator
• ESC to clear your input

If you want to launch URLs or eMail addresses using Verve, just paste them into the input field and press ENTER.

Verve installs a script named verve-focus which can be used to bind a keyboard shorcut for Verve to grab the focus. To do so, you first need to open the Xfce settings manager:

xfce-setting-show

Once the dialog has appeared, chose Keyboard. In the next dialog, select the Shortcuts tab and add a shortcut for verve-focus.

After this, Verve should grab the focus and start blinking whenever you press this shortcut. To stop the blinking, just type something (like a command or something else) or click on it with the mouse.
