Hotkey Window Only Triggered if iTerm2 is Foreground App
Thanks for filing an issue! Please answer the questions below so I can help you.
- iTerm2 version: 3.3.12
- OS version: 10.15.5
- com.googlecode.iterm2.plist
- debuglog.txt
Detailed steps to reproduce the problem:
- Define hotkey window with "Command" set as the Double-tap key:
- Open at least one other regular iTerm2 window (that isn't the hotkey window)
- Work for a while using other apps (apps I regularly use: Safari, Sublime Text, Chrome, Music, Mail)
- When iTerm2 is not foreground app (i.e. window from Step 2 does not have focus)
- Double-tap "Command" to show hotkey window
What happened:
- Hotkey window was not shown when iTerm2 is not in the foreground (i.e. another app/window has focus)
- Hotkey window was shown only when iTerm2 is in the foreground
What should have happened:
- Hotkey window was shown whether another iTerm2 window has focus or not
Additional information:
- Debug log is of me first triggering hotkey window when iTerm2 is not foreground, then triggering hotkey window when it is.
- This does not happen always. If I restart iTerm2 it usually fixes it for a while, but eventually it gets back into this state of requiring that iTerm2 is in the foreground. Hence my Step 3 of doing some other stuff for a while.
- Sometimes switching to a different hotkey and back again in the configuration also restores correct behaviour.
