I announced an early version of [Equake](https://gitlab.com/emacsomancer/equake) here [about 4 years ago](https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/a7v9ye/equake_emacs_dropdown_console/). A great deal of improvement has occurred since then. And v0.99 is on Melpa now, with a couple of interesting new things since the last version, including a working set-up for Equake on GNOME Shell under Wayland. (Details on how that was done here: [Equake: A Geas on Gnomish Smiths](https://babbagefiles.xyz/equake-geas-on-gnomish-smiths/).)
