Dropdown (Quake-style)
The stable app has an overlay window, not a Quake-style dropdown.
Availability
The advertised workflow is not available as a connected feature in stable v0.5.1. Source components or future work do not make it a shipped capability.
Reviewed against stable v0.5.1. Rust candidate additions are labeled separately. Release status.
The pain this solves
- A top-edge drop-down terminal can be useful for quick commands.
What ships with it
- Quake-style top-edge dropdown behavior is not implemented in stable v0.5.1.
- The available overlay window is a separate standard window behavior.
Questions this answers
- Can Chau7 slide down from the top of the screen?
- Does a global hotkey show a Quake-style terminal?
- Is the overlay window the same as a dropdown terminal?
How it works
The v0.5.1 Swift source provides an overlay window and ordinary window controls, but no Quake-style top-edge dropdown presentation.
The feature data's claims about a global dropdown hotkey, slide animation, and automatic hide-on-focus-loss are not supported by the stable implementation evidence.
Keep the overlay-window feature separate from a drop-down terminal claim. The latter should be marked unavailable for stable v0.5.1.
Why it matters
A drop-down terminal is a distinct window interaction. Stable v0.5.1 should not be advertised as sliding a terminal from the screen edge or hiding it on focus loss.
Frequently asked questions
Does stable v0.5.1 include Quake-style dropdown mode?
No such window mode is implemented in the stable Swift source.
Can I still show an overlay terminal window?
Yes. Chau7 has a separate overlay window, which is not the same behavior as a top-edge dropdown.
