This, of course, depends on how long you’ve been using macOS and what long list of quirks you’ve acquired.
For me, „just” being able to use a full-screen-mode-that-is-different-than-native-macOS-full-screen is worth it; but I imagine there are maybe like seven other people out there for whom it matters.
This is the only reason I use iTerm2. I can view the terminal full screen while also instantly switching to the browser or other windows, without the animation.
Thank you for reminding me why I should just return to iTerm! It might seem minor to some, but this is such an essential 'feature' that it probably overrides all other differences, for me.
One small question, though: are you aware of anything that 'native' full-screen does that 'bespoke' full-screen misses out on? Any disadvantages whatsoever?
I want an actual-full-screen, with menu-bar and Dock invisible, with no window chrome - not merely “fill the maximum allowable space by the OS, as if dragging the windows corner with mouse”.
BUT I don’t want to use the native affordance for that, since that makes it its own “Desktop”, and I can no longer switch to it using my Snow Leopard-era muscle memory of using ^-<number> to switch between them.
I am fully aware that this is incredibly niche requirement, but it is a dealbreaker for me :)
I saw that Ghostty kinda supports this; but then disables tab support if this is enabled, which, also an obvious dealbreaker.
