Drop-down iTerm2 in macOS
Prerequisite
We have already installed iTerm2
on Mac.
Config Hotkey
At first, set hotkey to open iTerm2
terminal window instantly.
Go to Preference → Keys → Hotkey, and check the show/hide all windows with a system-wide hotkey checkbox and choose the hotkey combination. My personal key: ⌥ + empty-space
Exclude iTerm2
from Tab-switcher
Go to Preferences → Appearance, and check Exclude from docker and ⌘-Tab Switcher.
Config the window in iTerm2
profile
🔥 Now config the correct window size and position in profile
Run iTerm2
on startup
Go to System Preferences → users and groups. Then choose default user and go to Login Items tab. Add iTerm2
as new item to run it on startup.
Done !
Now we can open iTerm2 everywhere, just enter ⌥ + empty-space
