How to pull down iTerm2 terminal with trackpad

If you use iTerm2 and its hotkey window, a useful gesture is to set to set the gesture '2 Finger Swipe From Top Edge' to trigger whatever shortcut you use to open your hotkey window. Using this really feels like "pulling down" your terminal.

If you use iTerm and want to know how to set up the hotkey window, take a look at this AskDifferent answer.

Then, just set your hotkey to trigger when using the '2 Finger Swipe From Top Edge' gesture.

whoa, I'm using the iTerm2 hotkey window but totally forgot about the 2 finger swipe from edges, thats clever! I'll definitively add this to my setup, thanks!

I have two-finger swipe from top set to show/hide Terminal.app and two finder swipe from bottom to show/hide Finder. The show/hide Finder is interesting, but I might change it to simply "Open Application"
