Note that my own terminal MacTerm (http://www.macterm.net/ http://www.macterm.net/) also supports most of the iTerm2 features from this post. Though I feel my Full Screen support is nicer: I provide options such as a scroll bar when full-screen, and I do not use Lion's widget so the switch is instantaneous and has proper multi-display support (i.e. you can have a full-screen terminal on two displays if you want to).
I don't have split-panes, though they're on my list. There are a handful of other features I don't have, but also vice-versa. In the end I won't say either app is better, but I definitely think there isn't one terminal everyone will like.
- oscar-the-horse 15y agoi'll check it out. split-panes are a great feature. glad to see they're on the roadmap.
- jvoorhis 15y agoSplit panes are cool, but the killer feature that I would jump ship for is full screen mode for dual monitors on Lion.
- johntyree 15y agoOut of curiosity, why do you need a terminal that spans two monitors?
- jvoorhis 15y agoOne full-screen terminal per monitor. When you enter full-screen mode with iTerm, the second monitor shows the linen background.
- jc4p 15y agoThis is a problem with every single application that uses Lion's full screen widget which makes it seem like a huge oversight. Did the people that programmed that feature not use multiple monitors?!
- makecheck 15y agoThat behavior is enforced by Lion itself, and that is one reason why I don't support Lion's mechanism (another being that the transition animation is way too slow). I've reported these problems as bugs to Apple long ago, and I have seen no action. I decided it was more important for Full Screen to be right than it was to adhere to some fancy but broken standard approach.
