It breaks backward compatibility with applescript, so it'll be a rough upgrade for some folks. I'd love to hear any thoughts on how to make this less painful.

Hello George, many many thanks for all the hard work you've put in. Yours is hands down the most heavily used application many people's macs.

Is it possible to try the beta while still having around the normal version? Is the configuration compatible between the two?

Again, thanks!

that is the one thing i miss from osx .. i had all kinds of triggers on screen , specially colouring ip addresses , and urls and guids .. hope it comes to linux one day.

It's been >5y since I used KDE, but iirc the default terminal there had regexp you could set to trigger any action you wanted. And links were automatically clickable.

Can anyone running KDE confirm?

Thanks for making a great app.

Where's the place I can report issues in the beta version? I noticed a small graphical issue with the cursor when using a certain font.

I love iTerm2, I keep up with the "current" beta versions, using them all day in production. I would love it if they'd make a "dark" titlebar version of the window chrome. My setup currently has windows without any titlebar at all (thanks to iTerm for that feature!), but it makes rearranging windows challenging. I look forward to trying out the newer features!

this is totally feasible with a custom .car file that you can embed into your program. The problem is the titlebar text.

I hacked together a working SIMBL script back in the 10.6 days that fixed the problem, but it's probably lost.

Interestingly, Apple's current DarkAppearance.car (/System/Library/CoreServices/SystemAppearance.bundle/Contents/Resources) that ships (but lies unused) in OS X 10.11.3 suffers from the same problems. You can copy it over into GraphiteAppearance.car to test it out. White titlebar text is still glitched to hell.

This looks great. Will applescript support be coming back? I'm using consular iterm to start and stop projects. https://github.com/achiu/consular-iterm

Can anyone recommend another macro tool that can set up a bunch of processes running in tabs?

Hi! Thanks for the good work! If you ever accept feature requests, I'm annoyed when I have multiple iTerm2 windows opened on another desktop, and I swipe to that desktop. I have the "focus follows mouse" feature enabled, but in the situation above, sometimes it's not the window under the mouse that gets the focus. I realize however that this might be a hard-to-solve problem (because of how the OS works)...

You know iTerm is a tool I use so often that I've taken its existence for granted. Thank you for all your hard work over the years. You've made a beautiful piece of software.

Applescript support is improved, not removed, but incompatibly. https://iterm2.com/applescript.html

Yeah, sounds like an OS bug, but file an issue at https://iterm2.com/bugs.
