Default hotkey doesn't work in Ubuntu

OS: Ubuntu 16.04
hyperterm-overlay: 0.4.0
hyperterm: 1.0.0

Option+Space doesn't work but when I change it to CommandOrControl+Shift+Z it works great! I'm not sure what the issue is. It doesn't seem to be a system wide hotkey.

@rjsteinert This doesn't work for me. Did you do anything beside that to get that feature working?

Would love to replace guake with hyper 🎉 🙂

I bet this issue is related to the many issues that hyper has with key mappings in Linux. For example vercel/hyper#1306

I stopped using hyper because of this. Too many things like vim are unusable because of these issues.

For me, (OSx) Option+Space is the only hotkey that works. Even though I've changed it its stuck on that hotkey... :/ weird.

@genu did u managed to change the hotkey ??

I'm also having the same issue as @genu -- on OSX (v10.10.5) the default 'Option+Space' hotkey is the only one that works -- I've tried changing this to many different combinations as per https://github.com/electron/electron/blob/master/docs/api/accelerator.md but even if I change the hotkey -- the overlay only responds to 'Option+Space'

'F12' works for me (feels the same as Guake now), 'CommandOrControl+Shift+~' also works too. hyper recently change to xterm implementation which is used by a number of other terminal emulators. Might want to give this another whirl. NB I had to set animate: false for overlay to display properly.
