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.

I switched to terminal from iTerm 1. I switched to iTerm 2 from terminal because of: - true split windows (cmd-d horizontal, cmd-shift-d vertical), as many as you can fit - good split window navigation (cmd-opt-arrow) - "save" window split setup - cmd-shift-s to save, cmd-shift-r to restore - better search, all from the command line - full 256 color support without any hacks - copy to clipboard on selection option (s…

The "Instant-Replay" (View->Go back in time) can be a handy little feature if you've ever wanted to look up something that turns out not to be in the scrollback because it was a full-screen app running on the alternate screen buffer, or whatever. It's also good for checking out /when/ something happened, after the fact.

I've not used it much, but when I've needed to, it's been a lifesaver.

Its a fork, and its basically completely different now. I reccomend giving it a try. I use it because of the more powerful keyboard binding, but it has many other features. edit: no idea why i thought it was googles fork. corrected.

funny i've been using iTerm2 for a while now and didn't knew it had split windows built in, main reason i used it was the speed, and it allowed me to have different scheme of colors.

I've been using this replacement for Terminal.app while it's been in beta, and it's fantastic. It natively supports splitting, windowing, and tabs, and it has great keyboard shortcuts for navigation between all of your windows. It also has fullscreen mode (and top-of-screen mode) if you like to dedicate a Space to it. There's a Solarized theme for it if you're into that sort of thing. It supports Growl if you can't s…

Terminal.app has tabs, at least as of Snow Leopard. Also does split panes (but they are the same session). I use Terminal quite a lot but have not found it lacking enough to consider replacing it.

One feature of iTerm that we've come to depend on is 'Send input to all sessions'.

Don't use it often, but I'm glad it is there.

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..
