Hopefully, you'll find something that works well for your workflow: if not, keep looking. That's iTerm (with a profile with a system hotkey), the Solarized theme, fish, and vimpager. If anyone is wondering what magic they're seeing here: Quick and dirty demo (animated gif, click to expand):
#MAC GO2SHELL UPGRADE#
Simply by virtue of the fact that you're asking these questions, and its important enough to you to post a bounty, I think It's probably time to upgrade to a more powerful terminal emulator. (I'm venturing that is basically the case since I found myself in that same situation not all that long ago.) I'm using the Terminal a lot these days, and I've found TotalTerminal to be very useful. If I can take the liberty of guessing your underlying question, I think it might be something to the effect of: If you decide to use this and can't get it to work, let me know. Probably a couple other things I'm forgetting.It doesn't work 100% like Go2Shell, as something in Finder must be selected - if it seems to not be working, make sure you've clicked something.

Your startup action must be "new window with settings: Visor".You will need to "enable access for Assistive Devices" (You must have TotalTerminal open (i.e., the menu bar icon) prior to using this.

⌘-drag into Finder toolbar to "install".It's an Automator applet with an unholy mixture of shell, AppleScript, and a couple System Events triggers. Original, and boiled answer: Yes, and sure: In fact, here, I've written you a little app. (Very related to your linked second question, I think.) Is it possible to have multiple windows (or tabs) in the Visor of TotalTerminal?
#MAC GO2SHELL MAC#
But if you want the icon to appear, you can delete a few of the existing icons and the white square with >< should appear, then you can reorder as needed the Mac ones. Is there a way to use TotalTerminal with Go2Shell or to open in TotalTerminal a shell set to the current directory? If you click on the > on the Finder, you'll see it listed as Go2Shell.app on the list. Ask a two part question, get a four-part answer!
