I find iTerm/iTerm 2 invaluable for full screen mode, ability to turn off scroll bars (and still have a scroll back buffer--can't do this in Terminal.app and it kills me), and copy-on-select.

I've been using this replacement for Terminal.app while it's been in beta, and it's fantastic. It natively supports splitting, windowing, and tabs, and it has great keyboard shortcuts for navigation between all of your windows. It also has fullscreen mode (and top-of-screen mode) if you like to dedicate a Space to it. There's a Solarized theme for it if you're into that sort of thing. It supports Growl if you can't s…

How does it work with growl?

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?

I use screen for that, although scripting it is a pain in the ass. I'm considering trying tmux out.

Am I the only one seeing incredible slowdowns in this version when running screen? It’s really fast when you don’t run screen, but running, for example, ls in a moderately populated directory, through screen on iTerm is deadly slow.

In my experience, it Growl-s notifications like "new data received in tab 2" - of course, the color of the session label on the tab shows that, too.

I wasn't a fan of iTerm "1". What's new in 2? Someone got a summary? I don't see it on their site.

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…

For the curious, from what I've seen Terminal in Lion has 256 color support and (kind of shitty) full-screen support.

+1. This is a great OSX terminal app. I love how quickly it has grown and improved. I encourage more folks to try it out. You'll love the color themes, split windows, built-in visor hot-keys, and more.

I downloaded iTerm2 about 20 minutes ago and I already love it. Anybody know of any downsides of using it over Terminal.app?

iTerm 2's visor mode was still a bit wonky so I keep Terminal.app around just for visor. But that was when I was using the alpha and beta versions.

I've been using iTerm as my main vim screen for over a year now. iTerm 2 alpha chugged right along for this.

That pretty much sums it up. I've set a global hotkey on ⌘+P to show iTerm on fullscreen (with all my tabs and custom configurations) and I love it =). Much kudos to the developers!
