How to Use `iterm2` like `guake`
Raw
configure-iterm2.md
  • First, install iterm2:
brew install iterm2 --cask

  • Then, go to Preferences → Keys → Hotkey and check the “show/hide all windows with a system-wide hotkey” checbox and choose your hotkey combination.

    • I use CTRL+~ to be Quake-compatible :), choose whatever suits your needs.

  • Then go to Preferences → Profiles → Window tab and set Style to Full-Width Top of Screen, and Screen to Screen with Cursor.

  • Then, go to Preferences → Appearance and check the Exclude from Dock and ⌘-Tab Switcher.

  • Then, go to Apple → System Preferences → Users and Groups.

  • Then, choose your user and go to Login Items tab.

  • Add new item with the [+] button and choose the iTerm2 application from Applications folder.

That’s pretty much it.

Enjoy your fake guake :)
