   Right.  Hot key is F12.  I likewise use Yakuake rather often; it's great 
for having a terminal available quick when you have something short to do 
right away, but IMHO it's not meant for a direct terminal replacement.  You 
can't move the window around or resize it -- it takes up the top half of the 
screen until hidden again.
