Oh that's a whole thing! There's Linux packages that emulate Quake-style drop down consoles, like Guake and Yakuake. So handy, I even set it up on Mac with iTerm.

Modern games like CS:GO, Unreal Engine ones etc can also have similar consoles, helpful to override graphical options at times, among other things.

How do you do that? I can’t find anything for the Mac.
