Features:

- Runs on OS X Mavericks

The available version on their official website says that it works for OS X Lion and Snow Leopard, however the github version is said to be working fine on Mavericks.
Some of the keyboard shortcuts are:

1The installation is rather complex, but I found the instructions here: apple.stackexchange.com/questions/113093/… Thanks, Afloat lets me float the terminal, but sadly it only works for Cocoa apps. So I can't float sublime for exam. – Casebash Jul 19 '14 at 8:23
