Earlier quoted context omitted.

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.

I'll be that guy on this thread that points out Hammerspoon. It's an OS X automation tool that replaces pretty much every OS X 'tweak' style application out there. http://www.hammerspoon.org/go/#simplemenubar I think it's the best of these type of projects, and would love to see more people using it / developing and sharing scripts.

Looks really interesting, thanks. Does anyone know if there is anything similar to Hammerspoon out there?

And I will be that guy on this thread pointing out Keyboard Maestro ; https://www.keyboardmaestro.com/main/

One thing i couldn't replicate yet in hammerspoon (among other things) is clicking: https://wiki.keyboardmaestro.com/action/Find_Image_on_Screen incredibly useful

What is an example of something you would use that feature for?

My absolute favorite part of this is exposing controls as a localhost tcp listener, making it easy to control from any tool.

And -- incidentally -- any other computer on your network. But hey, security schemurity.

Listening on 127.0.0.1 will not make it available it in the network.

Did you forget to include some extra constraint? As written, it looks like the answer to your question is "Yes, Hammerspoon."
