Terminal Short Cut

[xxarmoxx]

is there a quick keyboard shortcut that pops up a terminal window?

In OS X without X11 launched, no...

But, you can install this freeware:

And it will let you assign hotkeys to launch any apps, including the terminal.app Aqua interface.

I'm a keyboard guy myself, so I usually just do Command-Shift-A, followed by U, Command-down arrow (now in Utilities Dir), then Ter, Command-down arrow. Sounds like a pain but that's how I launch all my apps. I rarely use the mouse now. Very quick and painless

You know Cmd-Shift-U takes you straight to the Utilities directory right? Then it's just Cmd-Shift-U Term.

Only works if Finder/desktop is selected first.

Same with Cmd-Shift-A.

I was just noting that there was an easier way to do it than the way pianoman suggested (I even quoted his post).
