Iterm2 was one of those things I was not expecting to miss so much when I switched to a Linux desktop. There's something about the look and feel of text that I'm used too. Don't get me wrong, there's good terminals for Linux, but I think iterm2 was the best. I'd gladly pay for a Linux port.

Give Terminator a try.

If you don't mind me asking, what do you use for all of those applications in your terminal? I love to know what other people use for email, irc, etc.

mutt, weechat, bitlbee. My world would be complete, if only Firefox and Xcode were ncurses applications. :)

+ inline images in iTerm2 v3 ;)

I have used iterm for a long time and I would like to donate to your project. I make all my donations with Patreon, would be great if you could add support for that, if it's not too much trouble. https://www.patreon.com/

I don't really get why _aarti is down voted.

You know iTerm is a tool I use so often that I've taken its existence for granted. Thank you for all your hard work over the years. You've made a beautiful piece of software.

Agreed... It's a really nice, smooth experience... ConEmu is close, but not quite the same in Windows, and I haven't seen anything that even compares in Linux.

I'm a Linux user, and I use iTerm when I'm on a Mac and ConEmu on Windows. Are there some features I'm missing out on?

iTerm is OSX' killer app. Couldn't find anything similar on Windows. I used MobaXTerm which is ok but never feels as polished and slick as iTerm. Especially iTerm's own fullscreen mode which allows to quickly alt-tab is great.

OSX-only apps that I absolutely love and consider must-haves: Free: Iterm2 Spectacles Sip Not free: Dash Textmate (I use it as the equivalent of Windows' Notepad.exe) Transmit Sketch Paw If anyone has any other suggestions for things that they consider must-haves, I'd love to know about them so I can try them out!

Try ForkLift too, I almost never use Finder any more.

(author here). I pushed out a promotion today to let users know about the new version before auto-updating everyone. It breaks backward compatibility with applescript, so it'll be a rough upgrade for some folks. I'd love to hear any thoughts on how to make this less painful. My first experiment with in-app advertising (promoting the beta version through a popup dialog) has gone well, with a 31% click-through rate, an…

iTerm2 is the most beautiful, customizable and usable OS X terminal replacement in the history of everything. Full stop. Go2shell also makes iTerm2 slightly even better, just don't mistype it without that 's'. Sadly, iTerm2 doesn't make coffee or answer email, and for these couple of trivial, unrealistic failings I'm anonymously internet outraged with a cohort petition of at least 235k signatures so far to have your…

Whao I needed Go2Shell. Badly. Thank you.

why switch? append.

Do you honestly expect him to append his setup because of _aarti's particular situation?

He might be the first one to ask? Unless my grasp of the English language is slipping, he asked politely without any expectations?

On topic: I've seen Patreon used by some of the more well-known YouTube science video creators (CGP Grey, Kurzgesagt, Numberphile come to mind) so it seems to be ok.

SemVer works great for libraries, but it falls apart for actual software IMO. How would you define a "breaking change" in a software ? Would it be a complete redesign ? Or maybe a feature removal (Does that ever happen ?) Versions are supposed to convey meaning over how much has changed to the app between two versions. iTerm got soooooo many new features in this new version, anything smaller than a major bump would f…

> SemVer works great for libraries, but it falls apart for actual software IMO SemVer is for APIs. From the spec: > 1. Software using Semantic Versioning MUST declare a public API.

Yes, the public API for a library that the developer interfaces with. Not a web APi.

I'm sure I'm missing iTerm2's big appeal, but every time I try to use it, I find myself going back to Terminal.app, which I find more responsive and just as featureful, especially when combined with zsh and a windowing manager. That's probably just because I'm familiar with it and I didn't come from tmux or anything similar, but I keep hoping I'll be "enlightened" at some point and realize the error of my ways ;)

I've found it so good, I switched to using Terminator on Linux. Terminator sort of mimics iTerm2's multi-pane layout, which I find indispensable on high resolution displays.
