Well for one I do use the Caffeine feature that is shown in the section of the Getting Started guide I linked to. That replaced the actual Caffeine app. I have a timer running reminding me to take breaks every so often, that replaced Time Out. I have it auto-detect when I plug into my keyboard at home, and when I do it turns on my bluetooth to pair with my mouse, when I unplug, it turns off the bluetooth. This prevents the annoying issue of my mouse constantly connecting/disconnecting when I'm using my computer in a different room. I have it watching wifi events and automatically setting my volume to 0 when I leave my home wifi network, to prevent any accidental sound blares when I open my laptop in a meeting. Finally I have it bound to some custom hot keys to move/resize my windows around my external monitors. That function replaces the zillion window management apps out there.

> bound to some custom hot keys to move/resize my windows around my external monitors iTerm2's hotkey is pretty terrible in my opinion. I've bound this function to make it work for me: function iTermHotkeyHandler() local iterm = hs.application.get('iTerm2') if (iterm) then local window = iterm:mainWindow() if not window then if iterm:selectMenuItem('New Window') then window = iterm:mainWindow() end return end if iterm:isFrontmost() then iterm:hide() else window:focus() end end end hs.hotkey.bind('cmd', 'space', iTermHotkeyHandler) *me: I really should put these in some gist somewhere.

  What don't you like about iTerm's show/hide function?

    Hotkey windows do not show up in cmd+tab switcher. It's annoying if you activate the hotkey with cmd+space, press cmd+tab to go to previous window, and instinctively press cmd+tab hoping to get back to the terminal window. But that doesn't happen.

      OK I understand what you mean. I've never found that to be a problem for me but I'm glad you were able to come up with a solution.

      Would you mind filing a bug? The next version is focused on hotkey window improvements and this is very easy to fix. I'm away from my machine now or I'd do it myself. Thanks! ITerm2.com/bugs
