I'm sure everyone has a favorite, mine is simply able to slide out iTerm2 from the top of the screen with a hotkey (tilde ofc.) à la Quake console. https://app

- Cthulhu_ 4y agoSame, lol; that really is the only unique selling point for me at the moment. Although I'm sure there's a lot of subtle things (performance, font rendering, tabs, etc) that do it for me as well.
- microtonal 4y agoperformance The latency of iTerm has traditionally been much worse than Terminal.app. It got a bit better with GPU rendering, but it still trails behind Terminal.app quite a bit. https://danluu.com/term-latency/ https://danluu.com/term-latency/ https://www.lkhrs.com/blog/2022/07/terminal-latency/ https://www.lkhrs.com/blog/2022/07/terminal-latency/ I tried iTerm for a while because Terminal.app does not support true color. But the difference in latency is definitely noticeable to me.
- jdalt 4y agoI use Alacritty as my terminal emulator plus hammerspoon to get the same effect.
- tjfl 4y agoWould you be willing to share your Hammerspoon config, or at least that part? Would love to do this with Alacritty!
