Not out of the box, but I use Hammerspoon to implement a global hotkey to show WezTerm: https://github.com/jaminthorns/environment/blob/a609e81f3f41...

I don't have a keybinding to hide, but you could easily achieve that by inspecting the active window with `hs.window.focusedWindow()`/`hs.window.frontmostWindow()` and making the behavior conditional based on the application: https://www.hammerspoon.org/docs/hs.window.html#focusedWindo...

In WezTerm, you can control whether the terminal is always on top with the `ToggleAlwaysOnTop` action: https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/config/lua/keyassignment/Togg...

Note that this does only the “show/hide’ the window part;

The iTerm2 hotkey window, is a floating window, which for example also works in a space with another Fullscreen window/app opened (without moving to another space.)

You can get the rest of the way there by combining the Hammerspoon method of launching with WezTerm's ToggleAlwaysOnTop feature. I use a similar method described here: https://github.com/wez/wezterm/issues/1751#issuecomment-2299...

You could probably even use Hammerspoon to initiate the keyboard shortcut if you didn't want to mark the window manually.

I expect that won't work on macOS, because an "Always On Top window" is not equal to a "floating window"...

It's described here: https://github.com/wez/wezterm/issues/1751#issuecomment-1973...

I was unfamiliar with Hammerspoon; to those like me, https://www.hammerspoon.org/

I use it to add window snapping to macos:
