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

Off-topic: Something interesting about the aesthetics of text to point out here. I had to double-take which you said was left and which was right. I was sure that you were saying the left was iTerm2, because to me the one on the right has clearly superior text rendering (especially the bold)!

I mainly use iTerm2 because, unlike Terminal.app, it has gpm support. Being able to use a mouse while editing files over an SSH connection, without having to think about it, is a big win.

This looks great. Two questions:

- How does one change the background color for the panes that don't have focus? The black vs charcoal distinction is a bit too subtle for me.

- Is it possible to map command-` to cycle between panes? If so, how?

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.

I'd actually disagree - I think the fullscreen support is really good. What didn't you like about it?

I'm used to either Visor or iTerm providing "instant" full-screen terminal access, but taking apps full-screen in Lion seems to involve a nearly tedious animation.

Granted, now that I think about it, I have seen a bug that makes Spaces-switching slow, so it's possible I'm just seeing the same thing in the full-screen animation.

To put it another way, the result is fine, I just don't like the transition.

So tmux with a shiny 200x200 icon?

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)

What difference the name makes? If this shiny new terminal emulator is touting something which a terminal multiplexer already does, from a user perspective, his reply is legit.
