How do I switch between split windows?

See the options under Window -> Select Split Pane (which also gives you their keyboard shortcuts) from the menu-bar.

You can customise them locally (per-profile) or globally via the preferences as well.

Wow, looks like they've fixed most of the problems I had with it in the past. The one thing I still miss from yakuake is to be able to select split-panes by numeric hotkey. Seems like you can only do it for separate tabs and windows, but my preferred workspace is a 2x2 visor window.

Awesome! iTerm + zsh... If only I could disable the scrollbar :/ On a related note, is there a show/hide animation like Visor too? I liked the "slide in/slide out" animation a lot.

You can hide the scrollbar. Preferences -> Appearance -> Check "Hide scrollbar and resize control"

I wasn't a fan of iTerm "1". What's new in 2? Someone got a summary? I don't see it on their site.

It's fast. iTerm 1 was __very__ slow, and if you code in vim (not gVim or MacVim) because you like to ctrl-Z/fg like me, you have to try iTerm 2. It's Terminal with a real fullscreen mode and the support of 256 colors. Plus some nice other things (autocomplete...).

You might like the combination of MacVim and DTerm (http://decimus.net/DTerm).

I find turning on 'focus-follows-mouse' to be a great asset. Then I just hover over the pane I want.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I downloaded iTerm2 about 20 minutes ago and I already love it. Anybody know of any downsides of using it over Terminal.app?

I have a hard time changing functionality of the alt key between alt and meta. I Terminal.app I just go to preferences and it is there. Here it takes a little more..

Preferences -> Keys -> Remap Modifier Keys

For anyone who is interested.

iTerm 2 is essential.
