iTerm2
iTerm2 is the power-user terminal for Mac. v3.5/3.6 (2025) adds AI Integration (OpenAI key) and a built-in Web Browser panel.
When to Use
- macOS Power User: Split panes, hotkey window (Quake style), search.
- Remote Integration: Shell integration allows downloading files via drag-drop from SSH.
Core Concepts
Profiles
Define colors, fonts, and keyboard behavior per environment.
Triggers
Regex that watches output and performs actions (e.g., highlight "Error", run a script, ring incomplete).
Tmux Integration
tmux -CC makes remote tmux sessions appear as native iTerm2 windows/tabs.
Best Practices (2025)
Do:
- Use Shell Integration: Install it to enable features like "Status Bar" on the prompt line.
- Use "Composer": Like Warp, iTerm2 has an input composer window (
Cmd+Shift+C). - Map Option to Meta: Ensure
Optionkey acts asEsc+for proper Emacs/Vim navigation.
Don't:
- Don't ignore the GPU renderer: Enable Metal renderer for performance.
