Wow, looks like they've fixed most of the problems I had with it in the past. The one thing I still miss from yakuake is to be able to select split-panes by numeric hotkey. Seems like you can only do it for separate tabs and windows, but my preferred workspace is a 2x2 visor window.

There's a feature request open for this. Haven't figured out the details yet, but I want to make it easy to assign a keystroke to a session (like how RTS games let you define groups of vehicles/soldiers). Maybe in 1.1...

I'd like to try iTerm2, but "groups" in Terminal.app is a must-have feature for me. Anyone know of a workaround for iTerm2 that will let me save a group of windows and starting commands?

iTerm2 currently supports a single group at the moment (called a Window Arrangement). If you need more than one, then applescript is your best bet for now.

Does the font rendering seem very different to anyone else? Using the same font (Anonymous Pro 14pt), I had to increase the vertical spacing from 1.0 (as it was in iTerm) to ~1.18 to get the same spacing. Bold is rendered differently (worse) too. It does seem quite a bit snappier on my old G5 though. Comparison shot: iTerm on the left, iterm2 on right: http://i.imgur.com/9yA8y.png

Yep, it's different. AFAICT there is no "correct" way to lay out text in Cocoa, but this approach has pissed off the fewest people :-/

How do I switch between split windows?

Cmd-[ and Cmd-] navigate split panes in chronological order. Cmd-Opt-Arrow keys navigate through space.

Been playing with it this evening and it will be replacing terminal for me. I also found this nice collection of themes to pimp it out a little:

I switched to terminal from iTerm 1. I switched to iTerm 2 from terminal because of: - true split windows (cmd-d horizontal, cmd-shift-d vertical), as many as you can fit - good split window navigation (cmd-opt-arrow) - "save" window split setup - cmd-shift-s to save, cmd-shift-r to restore - better search, all from the command line - full 256 color support without any hacks - copy to clipboard on selection option (s…

So tmux with a shiny 200x200 icon?

I use it with tmux. The main reason I use it is because of its full screen support and the unixy behavior for focus follows mouse, copy on select, middle button paste.

Great job developers of iTerm2, it's really a pleasure to use on a day to day basis, if only it had really cool integration with tmux so I could actually use tmux instead of hate on it.

Good find! Here's the link to the Solarized color theme for iTerm2 as well.

One of the features slated for v1.1 or thereabouts is deep integration with tmux.

http://code.google.com/p/iterm2/wiki/TmuxIntegration and https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ABI0kqUUxoAjxhWW3AsWFis6... have some details on how it might work.

(Also, learn the difference between a terminal multiplexer, and a terminal emulator :p)

I have been using tmux with the beta. After a bit of key remapping it works great.
