iTerm2 is a fork of the older iTerm project. iTerm2 is a Terminal replacement and the successor of iTerm. It focuses on speed, internationalization, and building new features to improve your life.
For the longest time, I would see announcements about a new version of iTerm2 and would skip right past, thinking "what could it possibly have that Terminal.app doesn't? what a waste of time", I also missed that it was open source.
A month or two ago, I downloaded it and felt like a fool. There's all kinds of feature improvements over Terminal.app + I've switched over exclusively to iTerm2. I spend a lot of time in shell + I can't emphasize enough how much better life is with iTerm2.
I simply *HATE* that searching forwards searches backwards and searching backwards searches forwards.
How'd you feel if your car turned left, when you turned the steering-wheel clockwise ??
Also, I'd like it possible to disable the 'wrapped around' image that flashes in the window, when reaching the end of the searches.
...Sorry I might sounding negative...
My nummeric pad does *NOT* have any arrows on it, so please do not change its behaviour. I reconfigured it the cumbersome way. Pressing num-0 results in send text '0', pressing num-1 results in send text '1', etc, etc, etc... 17 times total. Feature is good, but incorrect defaults.
Another thing,when typing 'ls -l' and then pressing backspace a few times, a number of extraneous characters suddenly appear in the terminal window.
(I'm only using iTerm, because currently my Terminal.app is frozen and I cannot quit it. I dare not risk restarting my Quadcore G5, because only two of the cores are running, and if I restart it, I do not know if it will come back up running).
I better try and make a duplicate of Terminal.app...
Fantastic update to iTerm, and better than Terminal in so many ways. The current developer is making some great advancements in functionality: if you spend a significant amount of time staring at a terminal window this application is a must have.
