IMHO iTerm isn't all that great. I have problems with common keyboard shortcuts that work in every other *nix terminal emulator (eg forward over word). The response seems to be "just redefine these keyboard shortcuts yourself!"
What exactly does iTerm do that makes you regard it better than Terminal?
- diminoten 8y agoInput broadcast, for one. Insane customizability for another -- I have scripts that, in 1 click, can SSH me to all hosts for a service (dozens). That's super valuable.
- sershe 8y agoThe fact that you're talking about SSHing into dozen hosts and not e.g. pssh makes this whole story very suspect, or at least puts you into a category of "people who never really tried to get the most out of their terminal experience" :P
- diminoten 8y agoDefinitely true, but I'm not on here defending the merits of the terminal! I'll check out pssh. The cool thing about iTerm input broadcasting is you can turn it on and off rapidly, so you can start out broadcasting, stop for a sec to adjust one host, then resume. pssh looks like you'd have to establish a separate connection.
