iTerm2 Version 3 Now in Beta

#162(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…
Any chance that this new beta has support for borderless windows? I still use a forked version that doesn't have border.
You can make a window without a title bar now, if that's what you mean. It's one of the window styles in Prefs>Profiles>Window.

#163iTerm 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!

#164Re: iTerm2 Version 3 Now in Beta
#165Is there a way to make a previously hidden iTerm window show without also bringing any other iTerm windows to the front? I'm looking to replace TotalTerminal with iTerm (since TT doesn't work on El Capitan without making OS X less secure), and tried using a function key to hide/show a small iTerm window, but while that does work, the problem is that when it shows the small window, it also shows my regular large iTerm…
Yes, they have had a visor feature for a long time actually. I'm not on my mac right now and i'm not 100% sure if this link is accurate anymore. But it's under the keyboard shortcuts or profile settings. It is not enabled by default, and you can create a new hotkey profile with more transparency or whatever, http://fokkezb.nl/2014/10/29/using-iterm2s-improved-visor/
That brings other iTerm windows to the foreground.
There is a ticket to fix this, but it's bound by limitations from how OSX does app switching (according to the ticket).

If you're interested in the regressions iTerm2 has compared to Terminal.app, the two I've noticed are:
- Terminal.app will focus the tab triggering "prompt before closing if there are jobs running besides" and name the job that's running. iTerm2 always ask "Quit iTerm2?" and leave you to hunt down which tab is preventing it from being closed.
- Triple-clicking in Terminal.app will select from the previous \n to the next \n (i.e. it will select multiple lines if the lines are wrapped), while triple-clicking in iTerm2 will select only that line.

Top: Terminal.app, bottom: iTerm2. This technically isn't a "regression", but I prefer the Terminal.app behavior so it'd be nice if there was at least a toggle.

#167Why is it not called iTerm3?
Re: iTerm2 Version 3 Now in Beta
#168I 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?
It's very short, but you can checkout my post on vim + [iTerm]( http://arianv.com/post/My-First-Month-with-Vim/ ) Basically, I really love the fullscreen keybinding, hotkeys, colors and search ( though the default terminal already has this I think)
Appreciate it!
So, the show/hide feature seems to be the one really interesting thing to me. We're both vimmers and it sounds like we have similar workflows. What's killing me right now, is that coming from Debian I always had 5 desktops setup on Alt+1-5. I've got the same thing on Command+1-5 now, but if I force Terminal.app to fullscreen in OSX in the Desktop 1 spot, it's no longer available via Alt+1, since it spins up it's own, new desktop called 'Terminal'. It kills me.
In your post, are you saying that you can have a fullscreen iTerm2 window transposable to any of your desktops with the show/hide hotkey? Because this would push me over the fence.
BTW, I dig the CSS triangle inversions you're using for your ribbon up top.

> Customizability ends up being pretty important for serious developers who are always in the terminal. Ironically, I would say customizability ends up being pretty important for serious developers attempting to avoid working. I can't say my terminal itself—as opposed to the shell—requires any serious modifications at all. (I rewire the left option key and color schemes, and that's about it.)
if you dont heavily optimize your workflow (in this context that would mean improve your shell setup), you can hardly call yourself a "serious developer"

(user here). Thank you, so much, for creating iTerm2 and keeping it going all these years. iTerm is now my only development environment, I also use the shell for email, HipChat, IM and of course IRC. I can stay in the shell pretty much all day. It's straightforward, easy to customize, and has built-in support for tmux. What more could I ask for? :)
If you don't mind me asking, what do you use for all of those applications in your terminal? I love to know what other people use for email, irc, etc.
mutt, weechat, bitlbee.
My world would be complete, if only Firefox and Xcode were ncurses applications. :)
