Quake Terminal

OmniWM ships a true quake/sticky terminal you can summon over any workspace. It is a real embedded terminal built on Ghostty’s libghostty — not a wrapper around another terminal app — and it supports multiple tabs and splits within tabs.

Toggle it with Option + ` (backtick) by default; the binding is configurable in Settings under Hotkeys, alongside the rest of the keyboard shortcuts.

Position and size

Configure the terminal in Settings → Quake Terminal:

Position — Top, Bottom, Left, Right, or Center. The default is Center, which fades the terminal in place; the four edge positions slide it in from that screen edge.
Show On — which monitor the terminal appears on: Mouse Cursor's Monitor, Focused Window's Monitor (the default), or Main Monitor.
Width / Height — each 10–100% of the screen in 5% steps; both default to 50%.

You can also adjust the terminal directly with the mouse: drag its edges to resize, and hold Option and drag to move it. OmniWM remembers the size and position per monitor, and a Reset to Default Position button appears in Settings once a custom frame is in use.

Appearance

Background Effect — choose Standard Blur, Regular Glass, or Clear Glass. Standard Blur comes with an adjustable blur radius; the native glass effects do not, but switching effects preserves the saved Standard Blur radius so it becomes active again when you return to it.
Quake Background Opacity — 10–100%.

Behavior

Animation Duration — 0 to 1 second, default 0.2s. Ignored while global animations are disabled.
Auto-hide on Focus Loss — optionally hide the terminal whenever it loses focus.
