This project should be considered stale. I do not have time nor enough knowledge of Electron and Hyper to support it the current time. I cannot guarantee that I will ever invesst enough time in either the framework or the application to support it. While it may work it should be expected to have bugs, and they will not be fixed.

A complete and customizable solution for a permanent / dropdown / hotkey / overlay window in your Hyper Terminal, accessible via hotkeys and/or toolbar icon (tray).

Open your overlay with Option + Space on MacOS or Control + Space on Windows / Linux or by clicking the tray icon. Escape is the hotkey for hiding the overlay, or you can press X , - , or click the tray icon again.

This has been forked from hyperterm-overlay which appears to have been deserted and aims to fix some of the issues on that GitHub repository.

Important: Designed for Hyper >= 2.0.0

Option 1 (using hyper's package manager):

Use hyper i hyper-overlay

Option 2 (manual):

Edit your ~/.hyper.js ( Cmd|Control+, ) and insert the hyper-overlay in your plugins array:

plugins: [
    'hyper-overlay'
],

Add overlay in your ~/.hyper.js config. The configuration below shows all possibilities with their respective default values.

module.exports = {
    config: {
        // other configs...
        overlay: {
            alwaysOnTop: true,
            animate: true,
            hasShadow: false,
            hideDock: false,
            hideOnBlur: false,
            hotkeys: {
                open: ['Control+Space'], // On MacOS hotkey is default to Option + Space!
                close: ['Shift+Escape'], // On MacOS hotkey is default to Option + Escape!
            },
            position: 'top',
            primaryDisplay: false,
            resizable: true,
            size: {
                width: 0.4,
                height: 0.4
            },
            startAlone: false,
            startup: false,
            tray: true,
            unique: false
        }
    },
    // ...
