ITerm2 itself seemed not enough for me when I moved to El Capitan.īut there's a way to closely replicate my old setup. I had Visor sliding from top down and I used iTerm2 too, depending on task etc. Before OS X 10.11 El Capitan I used TotalTerminal (Visor) and I loved it. While iTerm2 suggestion is a good one, it has a few problems of its own. To make it look like a Quake drop-down terminal, you can use similar 'Window' preferences. You can customize the settings for the 'Hotkey Window' profile under the 'Profiles' tab. With default settings, the Hotkey Profile window will stretch across the top of the screen, and the hotkey will drop the window down from the top, complete with animation. Check the 'Hotkey toggles a dedicated window with profile:' option and choose 'Hotkey Window' in the popup menu below (should be selected by default).

In the bottom left, under 'Hotkey', check 'Show/hide iTerm2 with a system-wide hotkey' and assign the hotkey you'd like to use. In iTerm2 preferences, click on the 'Keys' tab. You can use iTerm2's system-wide hotkey with the Hotkey Window profile to do this. Here’s a post on how to configure the visor feature.Quake II won Macworld ' s 1999 'Best Shoot-'Em-Up' award, and the magazine's Christopher Breen wrote, 'In either single-player or multiplayer mode, for careening-through-corridor-carnage satisfaction, Quake II is a must-have.' If you frequently use Windows' Command Prompt utility, you might want to find a quicker way of accessing it and that's when third-party apps like WinGuake step into action. While TotalTerminal was a way of adding custom behaviour to the original Terminal, iTerm2 is a complete replacement with many additional features. I’ll miss TotalFinder’s split folder view, but Finder’s performance on El Capitan is fantastic, which makes this solution very responsive.

In the dock, ctrl-click Finder, select Options > Assign to: All Desktops. Open Finder and move it to the bottom of the screen. Simply add a hotkey for the Finder application and in the Apptivate’s prefereces tick the “Hide application if it is active” setting. The visor was extremely useful, but was always a little laggy. Apptivate allows me to create a show/hide hotkey for Finder. Since then Finder gained pretty good tab support. Ok, so Apptivate isn’t exactly a replacement for TotalFinder, but I’ve originally started using TotalFinder to gain access to features like tabs and the visor. If you’re willing to live with the risk, you can disable System Integrity Protection as the author of TotalFinder explains here, however he does not recommend it. One big step for security, but an unfortunate breaking change for plug-ins and apps that rely on these kind of hacks for non-malicious things. In OS X El Capitan, Apple has introduced SIP – “System Integrity Protection”, which protects your system from being tampered by malicious software like malware. It’s particularly useful when using a single display. This way, you can easily drag and drop files from Finder to other apps like Xcode or even your active Terminal session without switching desktops. Finder would appear at the bottom of the screen, Terminal at the top. The idea is to simplify access to Finder’s folder view and any active Terminal session, by using a global hot key (like ctrl+` for Terminal and alt+` for Finder). In my opinion, both apps were essential for developers working on their MacBooks in the field, but could also prove useful for any OS X users. While I’m really enjoying OS X El Capitan (everything runs smoother and my MacBook is much colder) it has put a large nail into the coffin of my two favourite OS X apps: TotalTerminal and TotalFinder.
