iTerm's quake-style visor mode bound to a hotkey is too good to give up...

Often you hear it should be the desktop job to do this, but given most of them don't, it's moot.

"quake-style visor mode" what is that feature? I am currently using iTerm2.

In Quake, the video game, a console would slide down from the top of the screen when you pressed tilde. Combined with splitting terminals its incredibly convenient to have 4 or 5 terminals toggle on a hotkey

I wish I could bind applications to slide out from left and right, I use slidepad on Mac which is a slide out web browser, and TotalFinder which has a visor feature for the bottom. Little things like this keep me on Mac to be honest

I'm not saying you're wrong, but I want the feature.

I have it in iTerm, and I don't in WezTerm.

We can blame Apple if we want, but they are not going to implement this feature for us.

dont think you need to give it up, there is a description on how to do that in https://github.com/wez/wezterm/issues/1751

On macOS you can easily set this up with Hammerspoon, and it'll be independent of the app being toggled, as it should.
