The killer features of iterm for me are three: 1. Built in password manager (command-alt-f) for the Times you’re stuck with ssh passwords 2. Output triggers: iterm can run actions in response to certain text on stdout: I use this to insert a mark at each terminal prompt line and when the phrase “NOTICE ME:” is detected. This way, I can use iterm’s mark navigation features to quickly jump to interesting lines 3. Finally, the biggest advantage of iterm is its ability to auto detect soft boundaries like vim vertical splits and restrict selection to one side or the other of the split.
