Copy and paste this repo's [`show.json`](./show.json) then do it again for [`hide.json`](./hide.json).\n\nNow when you press `Control`+`Space` on your keyboard, the terminal should toggle.\n\n# Why\nI got fed up with iTerm2 eating energy and don't use any of its advanced features other than the fullscreen toggle, so I thought I'd try it with the macOS native Terminal.app.\n\n# Does it work?\nIt's OK! You still get Terminal showing up in the cmd-tab list of apps, which isn't a deal breaker for me, although it's a bit meh, because you can tab to it and it won't be fullscreen, but a quick `Control`+`Space` and you're fullscreen again.\n\nSometimes when you toggle, the `f` keypress seems detatched from its modifers, so Terminal shows you a search bar at the top. Slightly annoying :(\n\n# Old stuff\nThe [`old-experiments`](./old-experiments) directory in the repo has various examples of me trying to launch using the shell, and then showing and hiding the terminal with Applescript until I worked out how to do it all with pure Karabiner-Elements commands. \n\nIf you want to mess around with the `osascript` calls you'll need to enable various permissions in macOS's System Settings, Privacy \u0026 Security - which you should get as OS pop-up warnings.","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjaygooby%2Fkarabiner-elements-terminal-hud","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fjaygooby%2Fkarabiner-elements-terminal-hud","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjaygooby%2Fkarabiner-elements-terminal-hud/lists"}
