hyperterm-summon

Summon your Hyperterm windows with a system-wide hotkey. In a multi-window situation, hyperterm-summon will remember which window was active last and restore focus to it. If HyperTerm is already active when the hotkey is pressed, your terminal windows will be hidden and (on macOS only) your previously-active application will regain focus.

Installation

1. Add hyperterm-summon to your plugins array in ~/.hyperterm.js.
2. Add a summon entry inside the config object.
3. Add a hotkey entry inside the summon object. Set the value to the shortcut you want to use (see Electron Accelerators for valid shortcuts).

Options

Key	Description	Default
hotkey	Shortcut to toggle Hyper window visibility.	None
hideDock	Hide the Hyper icon in the dock and app switcher.	false

Example

module.exports = {
  config: {
    summon: {
      hideDock: true,
      hotkey: 'Alt+Super+O'
    }
  },
  plugins: [
    'hyperterm-summon'
  ]
}
