So far I replaced the default OSX Terminal app with iTerm2 and I’ve not discovered any issues. If you plan on using it intensively you might consider donating to the author. ITerm2 also allows you to define a set of shortcuts and integrates the “select and copy” that I’ve been used to from working with Linux devices. You can easily split the console window with Command + D or ShiftCommand + D.
#ITERM2 MULTIPLE PANES WINDOWS#
It has support for transparent terminal windows (great if you want to debug a running app). It alllows you to define different profiles. ITerm2 dims the pane that is inactive which gives you immediate visual feedback on your active console. It’s a native OSX app that allows you to run split terminals easily, with scrolling and all the OSX GUI-gimmick support built-in. My main feature request was having a terminal that runs smoothly and supports transparancy with split terminal on OSX. So tmux is great if you stick to Linux but not that great if you run OSX natively. For example for scrolling you have to go through a lot of hoops.
But even then it doesn’t feel quite right. You can configure it with the ~/.nf to your prefered environment. It’s a great tool but it doesn’t integrate that nicely with OSX. TMUX is a terminal application that allows you to use different split panes and windows. Because of my background with Linux and OpenBSD the OSX Terminal application is my most “popular” application.īecause I got spoiled with the ease of use of screen on Linux devices and the basic Terminal app on OSX is fairly limited in feature-set I was looking for an alternative that runs natively on OSX and provides similar features to screen.
