This is in tomorrow's nightly build. The screen with cursor setting for the screen preference now behaves as follows: the hotkey window will change screens to the one with the cursor each time it is revealed. Other windows stay put.

Status changed to closed

@gnachman The latest nightly build is 20160918 as I saw here https://www.iterm2.com/downloads.html .
As I try to build from the source, there is some problems with NSWindowStyleMask, it seem like a new feature in Swift3? So I have to upgrade my Xcode to 8.0 ?

@gnachman

After upgrade my Xcode, I didn't see the previous error. However, I got :

Check dependencies
No signing certificate "Mac Development" found:  No "Mac Development" signing certificate matching team ID "H7V7XYVQ7D" with a private key was found.

** BUILD FAILED **


The following build commands failed:
	Check dependencies

Does that mean I have to grab some kind of permission ?

I had to turn on code signing to fix the nightly build, but you can disable it in build settings. Change the Code Signing Identity to Don't Code Sign.

@gnachman thanks for that, already succeed in building iTerm2 from the latest version.
Unfortunately, I failed when looking for " The screen with cursor setting for the screen preference"

@sel-fish

@gnachman thanks for your guide.

Preferences File:

Debug log:

Detailed steps to reproduce the problem:

1. press hotkey shortcut to hide iTerm2 on monitor A
2. move mouse to monitor B

What happened:
iTerm2 show on monitor A

What should have happened:

My hotkey setting is :

Thanks very much for your time.
Pls let me know if you want this comment convert to another issue.

That hotkey toggles the app itself. Each profile also has a hotkey that brings up a dedicated "hotkey window". You can configure a hotkey window by clicking the button just below the red box in the image you attached.
