As you may know, Xfce4 terminal supports the Quake style drop-down mode since version 0.6. Just a parameter --drop-down
will start xfce4-terminal just like quake, yakuake, or tilda.
It is advised to bind this feature to a shortcut in the keyboard preferences. Below steps will teach you how:
1. Open xfce4-setting-manager from Application menu or Alt+F2 Application Finder box.
2. Click on the Keyboard icon under Hardware section.
3. Under Application Shortcuts tab, click on the Add button and type in the command box xfce4-terminal --drop-down
4. Click on OK and set a keyboard shortcut in next window.
Now you’re able to press the keyboard shortcut to launch a drop-down Xfce4 terminal. Click the button at right-bottom to open the preferences dialog and edit the width, height, opacity, duration and more!
