Activate hotkey window when iTerm2 is activated.

My default profile is a hotkey window. When I run My default profile is a hotkey window. When I run subl -w fileMy default profile is a hotkey window. When I run `subl -w file from there, to start the sublime text editor, close the file, sublime re-activates iTerm but since it's a hotkey window the window doesn't re-appear, effectively breaking the feature.

I don't see a reason not to re-show the default terminal or last-active terminal when the app is activated.

I noticed the same. I took a automator script to "Open Terminal Here" where I do:

  tell application "iTerm"  
	activate  
	if the (count of terminal) is 0 then  
		set myTerm to make new terminal  
	else  
		set myTerm to the current terminal  
	end if  
	tell myTerm  
		launch session "Default Session"  
		tell the last session to write text "cd " & myPath  
	end tell  
end tell  

But I would like to force a "show" (like if I would press the hotkey windows)
