Visor provides a system wide terminal window (much like the console found in games such as Quake) accessible via a hotkey.
Installation:
1. Install SIMBL
2. Place Visor.bundle into ~/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins (create this directory if it does not exist)
3. (Re)launch Terminal.app - You should now see the Visor Menu Item
4. Configure your keyboard trigger by selecting the Visor Menu Item -> Visor Preferences ... and edit your keyboard hot-key
You can now trigger Visor with your hotkey from any application to get an instant terminal session.
Requirements:
· SIMBL
