Question to my ghostty-savvy friends

I am trying to reproduce the Quake style dropdown experience I have been using since 2010 on ghostty on mac here. nothing works quite as well as iterm2 yet

I tried ghostty quick terminal mode. good but it doesn't let me open multiple tabs

I tried cmux because it ships ghostty anyway and is supposed to have more features. but its system-wide hotkey is not playing well with aerospace and window focus

iterm2 worked perfectly. tap control double and I'm in the terminal. is there anything that replicates this UX
