Issue with iTerm (hotkey window, term window forced to stay on top)

[darrenburns]

Description:

Fig is appearing behind my terminal window.

I have iTerm configured to open when I press Option + Space (hotkey window feature).

iTerm is configured to stay in front of other windows:

Here's what it looks like in practice:

Is there some way I can force the z-ordering such that Fig appears on top? I'd like for my terminal window to remain floating, but for Fig to have priority and always appear on top of it.

Hey @darrenburns! Thanks so much for creating this issue.

A few other people have mentioned this #19. I am looking into a fix.

We've found a workaround you can use for the time being. Check out this post on the forum.

PS. You seem to have the "Force Popup to Appear" setting turned on. I would recommend disabling this as it is just meant to be used when debugging. (The option to toggle it off can be found under the Developer menu).

The workaround mentioned in #135 does not work when the window is in floating mode. See also Google Drive Video

Hey @mschrage, can you check out @HSalaila's issue? It seems like the workaround isn't working for him.

Yep, same here. The Fig suggestions pane appears behind the hotkey floating window. The workaround doesn't work for me either.

MacOS: 11.5.2
iTerm2: 3.4.8

I will investigate the floating window issue further this week!

[mschrage]

This should be fixed as of v1.0.49.

This issue seems to be still there for Floating Windows

iTerm2: Build 3.4.19
MacOS: 13.2.1
Fish Shell: 3.4.1

The workaround option mentioned above also seems to be gone now @mschrage
