Any chance to get quake-style terminal (AKA dropdown terminal) in KDE like guake and yakuake? That is the one thing keeping me from switching.

I'm using the quick terminal setting to do this.

I tried so hard to use the quick terminal but it does not work anywhere close to as nice as iTerm2's hotkey window.

  keybind = global:cmd+ctrl+alt+shift+t=toggle_visibility

overall I have had better experience using `toggle_visibility` to show/hide Ghostty for hotkey style window.

Ah thanks, I will check it out.

Last time I checked it didn't work on Linux (or I couldn't make it work on my setup, I don't remember). It seems it still has some limitations but better than before.
