Any chance of a port to Linux/X (Ubuntu) and especially Windows? I recently needed a terminal emulator that supports Sixel.
Re: Little known features of iTerm2
#123Not sure whether or not this is a little-known feature. iTerm2 has _fantastic_ integration with tmux (software used for persisting a terminal session across multiple logins). Tmux can be a pretty complex piece of software, but iTerm can basically wrap it all up into a nice package. You don't need to know anything at all about tmux to use iTerm's tmux integration. If you're SSHed into a server that has tmux installed,…
I use iTerm2 with tmux every day (but I don’t ssh into machines often nowadays) and I feel oppositely — I don’t get the attraction of the tmux integration. But maybe I still haven’t understood it, so please feel free to tell me what I’m missing. For me, the purpose of using tmux on my laptop is session, window, and pane management. (Perhaps my favorite tmux feature is zoom-pane.) So I find that the iTerm2 tmux integr…
Re: Little known features of iTerm2
#124Cool article, but here I am don't know how to jump between words on iterm2
`set -o vi` and then hit ``. You now have vim motion-like controls to navigate on the command line:
- `b` goes back a word.
- `w` goes forward a word.
- `0` goes to the beginning of the line.
- `$` goes to the end of the line.
etc.
I put `set -o vi` in my rc file so I have it on by default.

It’s a simple matter of funding me for the next 7 years :)

I love tmux just for letting me run long running sessions on remote machines. I don't like tmux's window management, I want to use my terminal, scroll back with mouse, that kind of thing. Tmux integration is therefore for those of us who love their GUI terminal :)

Can it extract the correct line number from tracebacks, compiler / linter output etc? I wrote this tool, but I know George Nachman has added some features since I wtote it: https://github.com/dandavison/iterm2-dwim
It should, I originally built it for rspec output but it should work with most common formats that put the line number attached to the path with a colon.
