I've now tried Warp twice (once off the back of this post). Switching back to iTerm2 again because of https://github.com/warpdotdev/Warp/issues/1811 I like the sound of the other two features (rich text editing and automatic AI commands) but the muscle-memory cost is too high.

Hey there, this is Aloke from Warp here. We originally built custom tab completions in Warp partly because of limitations with how Warp’s input works. We think our completions can be better for a lot of common commands (git, yarn, npm, etc) but I totally hear you that when completions in Warp don’t work like they do in another terminal it’s very frustrating. No ETA for this yet, but this is very much on our radar to…

Thanks, Aloke. Looking forward to trying again :)

It might be worth updating the GitHub Issue: the impression I got from looking at it was that it wasn't a priority (the most recent official comment is over a year old and comes across as quite dismissive of the request).

Interesting, I'll have to check it out. I looked at alacritty but I really like using terminal tabs and the alacritty dev is really really against them and I found the dev's attitude to be more than a bit abrasive. Not that Kovid (kitty's dev) does not come off the same way sometimes, but I tend to agree with Kovid a lot more.

Do check out wezterm. I didn't want to go into comparing developers but wez the main developer is a huge reason I prefer wezterm. They have tabs, panes, sessions, a mux implementation among many many other features.

Update: I am already switched. Didn't get anything done at work since I already went down the customization rabbit hole, but it's nice.

Never understood why people use iTerm. I know back in the day it was because of the lack of tabs in Terminal.app, but tabs were added long ago and tmux was always a better option for that kind of functionality anyway. Genuinely curious because I feel like I'm missing something. I tried it again a while ago and still couldn't see anything I couldn't already do.

> tmux was always a better option for that kind of functionality anyway Not sure a lot of people would agree. Tmux is way less intuitive than tabs/split panes directly supported by the terminal emulator. Also tmux is dog slow compared to native tabs.

Less intuitive? Sure, but those who learn it tend to agree it's the better option. Not sure what "dog slow" means, but it's really fast for me, at least when using a fast terminal emulator.

Awesome! There are a bunch of user shared customizations in their github discussions area.

As an example Alacritty+tmux feels wayyy slower than iTerm for tabs/splitting.

Tmux also comes with some limitations that make it annoying (to me) to use 100% of the time :

- scroll back is painful compared to native terminal emulator scrollback, so is mouse support

- rendering gets slowed down by tmux because it parses the output itself, the fastest terminal emulator with tmux will feel slower than iTerm without tmux

- some TUIs work badly in tmux, neovim for instance. I’ve also had issues with htop in the past

Tmux is a great tool, but I can’t conceive using it by default, it’s too janky for that.

For those that have to bounce between Mac and Linux for work/personal reasons, I cannot recommend Kitty terminal enough. The main thing that's a big of a pain is you'll probably want to set up a scrollback pager (I use neovim as mine but vim works too) so you easily search the terminal output and copy/paste from it. I use # https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/issues/719#issuecomment-... scrollback_pager nvim -u ~/.co…

I believe wezterm has that feature already. (Like there anything it doesn't have. :) )

Renamable tabs?

I was looking for a way to get a user prompt within wez and came across this page which has an example for what you asked for "Example of interactively renaming the current tab".

Tons of features. - Multiple profiles - Logging of terminal output to files - Regexp search - Search marks matches in the scrollbar - Quick jump between prompts — it knows where prompts are in the output, so you can quickly scroll to each position - Window splitting - Filtering — like find, but filters the window to only show matches - Triggers: Do an action such as bouncing the app icon or playing a sound when a tex…

There are a couple of things here making it worth me checking it out again, thanks :)

But yes you're right, most of these are in the Terminal+Tmux combo already.
