Yep - already use it and love it. The problem with Terminator is opening it on same monitor that my cursor is on with a keyboard shortcut key.

Guake is (I think) the only one that gets that right without custom scripting. Been researching alternative solutions all morning and I think I'm going to have to hammer something custom out in bash with xdotool, xrandr, PID lookups, etc.

looks down the rabbit hole - hold my beer, I'm goin' in.
