Is it possible to show iterm2 always in the top of the screen, even if my currenct app in running in the fullscreen mode? For example, I want to able run chrome and iterm2 in the same time when browser is in the fullscreen. Is it possible?
Yes it is possible. Though the setting isn't clearly named for this.
Open iTerm
Go to Preferences (cmd-,)
Go to Advanced Tab
Search for "dock"
Change the "Hide iTerm2 from the dock and from the cmd-Tab app switcher" to Yes
Restart iTerm2

I have recently moved from Windows 10 to MacOS Big Sur. On Windows, I used AutoHotkey for system-wide automatic text replacement. For example:
(alpha) would turn into α
(beta) would turn into β
Is it possible to do a similar thing using Automator on Mac? I'm not interested in app-specific settings, as I would like this to work in all apps. Not being familiar with the OS, I am struggling to figure it out, and Google/Apple Documentation have been no help!
Thanks
Go to System Preferences > Keyboard > Text and add your substitutions, as show in the image further below.
You can get to System Preferences from the Apple menu, far left of the menu bar, or from Spotlight pressing the commandspace bar keyboard shortcut and start typing System Preferences, or from the Dock clicking on the System Preferences icon, as shown below.
How can I configure PhpStorm to use the "non-native" fullscreen mode? I'd like PhpStorm to be fullscreen (without the macOS top menu bar, etc), in the same window (without creating a new window that I have to scroll between).
The terminal for macOS iTerm2 have this setting. You can choose to remove the tick from "Native full screen windows". When this tick is removed, the fullscreen mode will simply take out all space in the window, without creating a new separate window.
Native fullscreen example
Notice how a new separate "window" is created called "PhpStorm"
Non-native fullscreen example
Notice how theres still one window called "Desktop". The iTerm window fills out the whole screen though.
the only way you can do it at the moment is by adjusting the dock in mac to hide menu automatically and then spread the editor to wider and higher setting
click right on the dock in mac and goto settings and hide menu works for me
i am suffering from same issue lol after i saw iterm2 :P
I have 2 monitors: my notebook monitor, and primary big dell monitor. PhpStorm 9.02 and MacOS X 10.10.5.
When I work at PhpStorm, I move my terminal window to secondary notebook display, and when I focus PhpStorm or terminal, terminal jumps to primary monitor. When I work with 1 tab of terminal everything looks fine after switching on Pinned mode and Floating mode at terminal settings. But today I open 3 tabs, and terminal starts jumps again.
It's very annoying when you often switch between browser and PhpStorm.
Do somebody have the same problem and fix for it?
Known bug, please vote for IDEA-116096.

Please look #lena answer and vote for issue at intellij.
I found solution thats help me to avoid terminal window jumping:
Create new tabs in terminal.
Drag it to secondary display, so they become separate window.
Close main terminal window.
Child tabs don't jumps between displays.
I solved this by changing a setting in mission control.
Just uncheck the 'Displays have separate spaces' option.
Go to System Preferences.
Click on Mission Control.
Uncheck the box marked Displays have separate spaces.
Log out an login in again.
Under Preferences -> 'Keys' It is possible to tick Show/hide iTerm2 with a system-wide hotkey.
However iTerm always appears on the main display (monitor) instead of where the cursor currently resides.
e.g. if I have three monitors, and am working on the third screen, the hotkey makes iTerm appear on first monitor, instead of where I am currently working.
Any advice how to solve this please?
UPDATE:
The bug strikes back again in v.3.1.6. If any workarounds are known, please share.
I'm on Sierra using iTerm 3.1 and I have the option under window to put the screen where the cursor is (bottom right drop down options). I'm using it with a hotkey.
The answer by Grant works.
The only thing you need to do is to install the beta version since there was a bug in the stable version.
This bug was fixed in 3.1.beta.1 https://iterm2.com/downloads.html
Here's the link to the latest beta version https://iterm2.com/downloads/beta/iTerm2-3_1_beta_4.zip
This may be a couple more keystrokes than you were hoping for, but if you install window management software like Size Up, you can get this working with just a few keystrokes.
Maintain your ⌥Space hotkey preference on Iterm2. Go to Size Up -> Preferences and change 'Send Window Prev Monitor' to an easy keystroke. I used ⌥1.
Now, you can do ⌥Space to get the terminal open and ⌥1 one or two times to get it to your monitor of choice. It takes a couple of key combos, but not too many!
I had this problem with macos monterey and iterm 3.4.15. I'm using the hotkey to show the terminal with slide-out window. After some search on the internet I found that disabling the option on system preferences to reopen closed documents solved the issue and the hotkey is now opening terminal on the screen with cursor as it should.
mac -> System preferences -> General -> (deselect this) Close windows when quitting an app
Neither of the above worked for me, but this helped, even though the question was quite different in that thread.
In text editors like TextMate, pressing
COMMAND + R
will save the html document, switch to a browser like Chrome, and refresh the page.
So the question is, how does one use this keyboard shortcut to refresh the Safari browser within the iOS Simulator?
Is there another editor or program that's more interactive when developing for Safari on iOS?
Thanks for your help.
There's no shortcut within the simulator but if you set up Safari's enable Safari's developer tools (on your desktop) you can use that to debug the simulator. If you have dev tools open, the CMD + R shortcut will refresh the simulator.
Safari > Developer Tools > iPhone Simulator > name of your app
Then CMD + R will make it a lot easier for you!
there is no way to do this by default, but if you're comfortable with working in the shell (e.g. Terminal.app) you could look into something like this command line tool:
https://github.com/fingertips/ios-sim
not sure if you can launch built in apps like safari, tho.
one thing that may be of use is that in desktop safari, if you enable the Develop menu you can set your user agent to be iphone/ipod touch/ipad. i'm not sure how accurate this is, but it might be faster for iterating. (if you don't see the Develop menu in desktop safari, go to preferences, select Advanced and make sure the "Show Develop menu in menu bar" checkbox is checked)
