I'm using tilda, which I believe covers 100% of your requirements.

My setup is;
 - None window decoration
 - Fullscreen
 - No tabs
 - F12 for shortcut
 - tmux on top of it

Especially having tmux along with F12 shortcut makes it extremely handy.

Maybe one more bonus, kinda off-topic, but installing jmdict and making
an alias as j="jmdict -j" makes it into an extremely fast japanese
dictionary on-demand.
