One feature that’s missing from a surprising number of Mac terminals is a hotkey-bound non-activating dropdown (think Quake console) or HUD window (imagine a floating, frameless terminal window in the vein of the Alfred or Spotlight window).

The best implementation of this to date was in TotalTerminal/Visor, which was a mod for the Apple terminal that added this feature but naturally went the way of the dodo when macOS added SIP. iTerm2 has a feature that kinda does this, but that implementation is comparatively janky and half-baked feeling.

If Warp gained a polished version of this there’s a good chance of it becoming a mainstay on my systems.
