In iTerm2 on Macs, command-E shows timestamps of lines in an overlay, with dates and down to the second.

  It's cmd-shift-E on my version of iTerm2. Not sure if they changed it at some point.

    Nope, never changed it.

    (I assume) cmd-E is cmd-shift-e. As in, the shift key's required.

      You're correct! I was trying to be concise, but instead I caused confusion.

  What’s nice about iterm2’s approach is it shows it for every line of output not just commands, but even before I started using that I had a timestamp on the right hand side of my fish prompt so I can track the progress of my work. Don’t use any thing like this in bash, but there are definitely times when I remote into a system where having them would be handy.

  I use this feature a lot when writing timelines in postmortems.

  Thank you! That's a great tip. (For me it's ⌘-Shift-E).

  Do you know of a way to enable this by default with new sessions? I've been digging through the preferences and have fallen short.

    Also curious how to make this a default config
