What is iTerm2?

iTerm2 is a terminal application.

While Mac users often stick with the default terminal, iTerm2 offers many more convenient features. If you’re using the standard terminal, I highly recommend trying iTerm2.

Today, I want to introduce the Hotkey feature in iTerm2.

What is a Hotkey?

The Hotkey feature allows you to bring iTerm2 to the foreground or hide it with a simple keystroke, even if you’re working in another application.

How to Set It Up

iTerm2 has many other useful features besides Hotkey.
