Ask HN: What terminal emulator do you use on OSX?
There seam to be many alternatives. I would be interested in knowing why you use <alternative> and how is it better to default terminal ?

- chromejs10 13y agoCouldn't you remap those in Keyboard settings or use BetterTouchTool to remap those? Granted, I like iTerm2 for other reasons as well
- andruby 13y agoiTerm2 with tmux using this send text at start command: "tmux attach -t Play || tmux new -s Play". I prefer iTerm2 over the built-in Terminal because it supports 24bit colors for powerline [1].

- CyberFonic 13y agoI simply use the OS X Terminal with Spaces. Often 6+ full-screen sized windows. For access to remote systems I prefer "mosh" since it neatly recovers state when using WiFi tethering with my smartphone.
