So you don't think a term emulator on MacOS X is useful to you because you use Linux. And the insight of your comment was exactly what?

> So you don't think a term emulator on MacOS X is useful to you

Where did I say that? The discussion was about if iterm2 has needed features which an existing emulator/mux combination doesn't have.

I didn't ask what the difference was. I asked what difference it makes what difference the name makes in context of knowing the difference between tmux and iterm2 - what is terminal emulator and what is terminal mux and what is a combo, as long as it gives me what I want.

I believe the discussion was centered around why would someone switch to iterm2.

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.

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

I have been using tmux occasionally to, but the key mappings kill me. I just want it to be one stroke, not chorded...so what I want really is for an iterm window to behave like a tmux session, with tabs being windows etc
