A minha vida vem de melhorar um 500% agora que descobri nos settings de #iTerm a opçom "Reuse previous session’s directory" ao abrir um painel novo (em Preferences > Profiles > Working Directory).

#iTerm2

All of a sudden I got this message in an iTerm2 session. I've never seen this before.

What does this mean?

Edit: I see the help page about regex triggers: https://gitlab.com/gnachman/iterm2/-/wikis/Slow-Triggers

...but there are no regex triggers listed at all in my sessions - I never created any.

Obscure PSA for iTerm2 users on Sequoia (MacOS 15.x):

iTerm2 Context Menu

If you find yourself accidentally causing a context menu to pop up when hitting RETURN in iTerm2, this tells you how to fix it.

Just dumped #Tabby on #macOS.

Yes the UI is good but the speed is so laggy, took 1 sec or more to display the fastfetch output, memory consumption is high.

Back to #iTerm2 and it feels like a breeze.

#terminal

I have a color scheme for #nvim on my #Linux and I use the same one for my work #mac

It looks really great on #pop_os with #cosmic and cosmic-term

But on Mac with #iterm2 it looks totally different and wrong and it feels like syntax highlighting does not work....

Am I the Problem?

I've finally been able to configure #iTerm2 to my liking. Now a hotkey (F3 in my case) opens a terminal with no title on the top right quarter of my desktop (and hides when it's open). That's where I have Yakuake open on my #Linux box, and I wanted to replicate the experience on #macOS as closely as possible. I'll go with this for now.

My macOS desktop with an iTerm2 terminal with no title bar open on the top right quarter of the screen. The terminal is shown with 20 per-cent transparency.

TIL: You can use the iTerm2 AI Plugin with your locally running Ollama model for command completion.

One thing I wish I was able to do with #iTerm2 is to configure the HotKey Window to slide down from the top right (or top left) rather than the middle. Yakuake lets you do that. I don't like my terminal to sit in the middle of my screen.

A workaround is to use the "right of screen" style, and it's not bad. Still not as flexible as Kakuake.

Am I the only one that uses a dark terminal window, purely because light-themed terminals never seem to work with any TUI app?

@YesJustWolf@hachyderm.io Bookmarked! Thank you for your information. I have used the native terminal app on Mac and wasn't too impressed with it. I will definitely check out #iterm2. 😀

@daihard I use a Mac and the latest version of #Bash which I got from #HomeBrew. My understanding is that zsh cannot run all Bash scripts. But I have no direct experience. My best friend uses zsh locally, but works mostly over SSH and Bash is on the other side. Also, I use and recommend #iTerm2.

Today's odd thing, I'm looking through reviews of Mac terminal emulators. I'm not a power user by any means but I'm pretending I know what I'm looking for whilst trialling alternatives to Apple's #Terminal app.

I've a had a few days with #iTerm2 and just downloaded #Ghostty to look at.

All because I'm messing about with Python and don't want to use the terminal in #VSCode.

Silly Baz.

My friend and I are both #iterm2 users. We’re both #Vim users. He uses remote systems all the time and customizes as little as he possibly can because he has much less control over those remote systems. I customize way too much. We both use #bash (though locally, he uses #zsh). Therefore, we both use #readline. I prefer vim-mode on the #commandline. He uses the default, emacs-mode. We both realized we weren’t really using much of the tools those edit modes gave us so we found cheat sheets and started experimenting. For him, alt-b should go back a word, but it didn’t. It worked when I tried that mode. We tried all kinds of solutions for him including sharing our profiles. In the end the thing that succeeded was configuring his iTerm to send "Esc+” when he used the option key. So really, Esc-b went back a word, not alt-b. Mine worked because I was already configured that way.

@Lo_Riot https://social.net.ua/users/zen @knightpp @driversti @partizan Поставив я той #ghostty і таке собі. З #SSH нормально не працює. Ще не видаляв, але і не користуюся. #iTerm2 + #OMZ + plugins і робить те, що мені треба. На серверах ще юзаю #tmux та #screen.

Annoyed by iTerm2* having 5 tabs "Mark's Atari Shell"** and 2 "Mark's Evil Lisp"***, I finally did minimal research and added to .zshrc:

* (still no practical replacement, alas)
** (theme, Atari 8-bit font, white on blue)
*** (theme, light on dark, red or green)
**** (I like footnotes)

#GhosTTY sounds really interesting, but I'm unlikely to try it just because porting my existing #iTerm2 config over would be a pain in the arse and the workflows would be annoyingly slightly different.

Version 3.5.11 of #iTerm2 was built on January 2, 2025. This release contains a critical #security fix. I strongly recommend updating immediately. https://iterm2.com/downloads.html

I've probably been using #iTerm2 for more than a decade now and have always been very happy with it, but version 3.5 seems to be hot garbage. And (not) surprisingly that's also when they introduced #ChatGPT #AI features into the software.

It makes me a bit sad, but I feel like it's time to say goodbye to iTerm2.

On the other hand #GhostTTY looks somewhat promising.
As long as they don't add AI. :breadunhappy:
