1. Set the window
Navigate to [Preferences - Profiles - Window] and set the style of the new window to [Top of Screen], so that every time you open a new terminal, it will appear at the top of the screen and there will be no window border. If you also use multiple Spaces and dual monitors, it will be more convenient to choose Main Screen and All Space at the same time.
2. Set the shortcut key
This step is very simple, navigate to [Preferences - Keys - Hotkey], there are two options, the first is to set the global shortcut key, under the premise of starting iTerm, use this shortcut key to show or hide window. The second one specifies which Profile to use for the new window. Here, it is specified as the one with WIndow set in Step1. Checking this option can obtain the ability to fade in and out when displaying/hiding the window.
