Silly me and my lame reading comprehension skills. That link made me realize that I overlooked the second checkbox. Note: I'm just adding this new answer with the link for a more complete reference because, in comparison with Rob's answer, it states very clear that you need to tick both check boxes and select the "hotkey window" profile in the dropdown list at the bottom for the feature to fully enable the functionality - the link is a bit clearer than Ron, if you ask me: he does indeed mention everything you need to get going, but I had issues understanding the wording and had to further search why my settings weren't properly configured. Both options achieve the same, the former being the easy way. There's also an answer to that question in the Ask different community, to do it manually. Too bad I don't have enough reputation to place this response as a direct comment to the current answer, but here is the answer: iTerm2 supports this as part of it's "Advanced" options:

This answer in the Ask Different community illustrates the above steps.Īdditionally Nishchal Gautam asks, as a comment to Ron's answer, if you can hide apps from the command + tab listing of apps running.

If you don't have the " Hotkey Window" profile listed in the profile settings: As Ron mentioned in his answer, the "hotkey window" feature has got you covered.Īfter installing iTerm2, check that you have two profiles in the Profiles > Open Profiles panel: one called "Default" and one called "hotkey window".
