$7 for something that can be done for free in iTerm
- asdff 1y agoOr just a keyboard shortcut to bring up the terminal
- cosmic_cheese 1y agoA dropdown is a bit nicer than a simple foregrounding key shortcut is. It never has to be window managed, floats on top of everything else as long as it’s toggled open (even as you’re shuffling through other windows), and makes for a better drop target that benefits from Fitts’ Law.
- mbirth 1y agoThe website says $14 for me now.
- mbirth 1y agoAh, now there’s a popup to use the discount code “MEOW” for 50% off. Didn’t see/notice that before.
- cosmic_cheese 1y agoThe iTerm version of the feature is buggy, in my experience. The old haxie[0] Visor/TotalTerminal[1] which patched it into the Apple terminal produced a better result, somehow despite being literal hack. I wouldn’t be opposed to paying for a dropdown terminal that worked as well as or better than TotalTerminal did.
