Can we configure iTerm2 v3 now with a simple file? It's so difficult to programmatically create profiles, setup typefaces and colors.

Re: iTerm2 Version 3 Now in Beta
#32So if I'm running iTerm2 Test release 2.9.date (current 2.9.20160206), does that mean I'm running the v3 beta?
Its version names are confusing.

#33I'm sure I'm missing iTerm2's big appeal, but every time I try to use it, I find myself going back to Terminal.app, which I find more responsive and just as featureful, especially when combined with zsh and a windowing manager. That's probably just because I'm familiar with it and I didn't come from tmux or anything similar, but I keep hoping I'll be "enlightened" at some point and realize the error of my ways ;)

#34iTerm is OSX' killer app. Couldn't find anything similar on Windows. I used MobaXTerm which is ok but never feels as polished and slick as iTerm. Especially iTerm's own fullscreen mode which allows to quickly alt-tab is great.
putty is the defacto standard Windows SSH terminal. (Though that's not what iterm is.)

#35There is already the need for standardization on inline images, as notty uses another approach than iTerm2, which uses another approach than Terminology.
xterm can do inline graphics too, in the form of Sixel for raster graphics and ReGIS for vector graphics. At least those are sort of standard, in that they were used by real terminals and there are real specs for them.
The annoying thing is, even if terminals standardized on one protocol, none of them set $TERM or use terminfo properly. So there's no good way for programs to actually use these features, because you don't know if you're running in a terminal that supports them, or which escape codes to send to make use of them.

#36Earlier quoted context omitted.
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?
Applescript is supported, just in a more consistent way now. This is the new syntax: https://iterm2.com/applescript.html Edit: I'm not the developer! I'm just a fan.
Awesome and thanks for the great work!!

#38I just donated but do you ever consider charging? I think most here would pay. iTerm2 really is the best option and provides a lot of value to developers who make money using it.

#39Didn't know you can ls and then cmd+click to open a folder/file. And alt+click positions the cursor. Nice touches.

#40I 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!
How do you hide the titlebar entirely?
Preferences > Profile > Window > Style: "No Title Bar"
doesn't seem to then be anyway to move the window (just resize from the edges)
