I started using Mac since September - Iterm2 saved from the horrible Mac Terminal.. But why is there no option to rename Tabs ?
iTerm2 is full of surprises. Double click the tab and you can rename the session.

#122Re: iTerm2 Version 3 Now in Beta
#123I have been a long time Visor/TotalTerminal user and wanted to try iTerm2 on 10.11 but was concerned with its use of the Sparkle updater framework. I could find no sign through all of my research if confirm if updates are performed through https instead of http and I declined to install it. I also couldn't find a way to contact the anyone to ask, so I'm glad you posted. So? What does it use? Don't you think this may…
Why are you concerned with Sparkle? Is it because it's a third party library or whether or not iTerm2 makes HTTPS updates? It seems a little debugging with LittleSnitch/Charles would glean an answer how the requests are made and what, if anything else is. Perhaps a ticket https://iterm2.com/bugs is warranted.
Well, if you hadn't heard http://arstechnica.com/security/2016/02/huge-number-of-mac-a...
I would just like to know before I install. I don't think it is too unreasonable of a prerequisite.

#124I played with iTerm2 for a while (coming from Linux) because I was told I had to have it. I switched back to Terminal.app after my last clean install because I didn't really see what I was getting.
For someone who tmuxes for tabs and splits, what am I missing?

#125Kudos for the changelog starting with a very succinct summary + link, then expanding what changed :)

#126Great app. This announcement reminded me that I use it every day & hadn't donated yet, so I did. $10USD won't be retirement money, but at least have a beer & tip your bartender:)
I hadn't donated either, and it's a killer app for me. Just fixed that.

#127Iterm2 was one of those things I was not expecting to miss so much when I switched to a Linux desktop. There's something about the look and feel of text that I'm used too. Don't get me wrong, there's good terminals for Linux, but I think iterm2 was the best. I'd gladly pay for a Linux port.
Just curious - what features are you missing on Linux that are available on Iterm2? I've used Iterm2 quite a bit and while I think it is more full-featured than my linux terminal, I don't find myself using any features which are not common to both.

#128iTerm 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.
OSX-only apps that I absolutely love and consider must-haves: Free: Iterm2 Spectacles Sip Not free: Dash Textmate (I use it as the equivalent of Windows' Notepad.exe) Transmit Sketch Paw If anyone has any other suggestions for things that they consider must-haves, I'd love to know about them so I can try them out!
thanks for the tip on spectacles. I've been using sizeup for the same functionality for years bit it looks like spectacles does the same thing for free. How does paw compare to postman?

#129(author here). I pushed out a promotion today to let users know about the new version before auto-updating everyone. 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. My first experiment with in-app advertising (promoting the beta version through a popup dialog) has gone well, with a 31% click-through rate, an…
Those are pretty amazing click/follow through rates, and I'm not surprised because they're 100% deserved. This is a great app clearly made with care and dedication, thanks for all your hard work!
