To be fair, the built in Terminal.app sucks, you have to get iTerm2, which is a 3rd-party app, but at least it's not another $40 replacement app that shouldn't suck by default, (the same cannot be said for Finder and its replacements).
- _acme 10y agoWhat is it that sucks about Terminal.app that iTerm2 fixes?
- m_mueller 10y agoI'd be interested in that too. I've never wanted anything more than what Terminal.app offers, but maybe I just don't know what I'm missing.
- Whitestrake 10y agoThe iTerm2 features page[1] has a pretty good run-down of all the extra stuff it can do. Personally, I'm a big fan of the split panes, and I use iTerm2 full screen with two panes. That said, almost identical behaviour can be had in fullscreen with two Terminal windows sharing a full screen desktop space. I also enjoy having my terminal be a slightly-transparent black rectangular slate, with no title bars, corner curving, etc., but that's purely preference and has no impact on functionality.
