Dear #lazyweb of #developers on #MacOS: I have configured #iterm to appear using a hot key, but the terminal window seems to always attach to a specific virtual desktop, and if I’m on another one when I press the hot key, it’ll take me back to that desktop :/ Is there any way to have the terminal window always open on the same desktop I am at?

okay i am still baffled by this. for some reason when i'm in a local shell/terminal window i can render emoji and unicode chars fine. e.g. `ƒ` `•`

but when i ssh to another machine and view the same directories they don't render chars correctly and i can't figure out why it's rendering wrong only after i leave localhost! they look good in finder #zsh #iterm

they're looking great in Finder, DEVONthink, etc. folder sync in this screenshot is via #resilio but like i said looks right on-host.

Some people on #devRant recommend #iTerm as terminal emulator for Mac. Good luck with that!

Some #iTerm color schemes work poorly with #debconf. I guess I need to find another color scheme then.

Someone (I?) should write a web app where you quickly can cycle through and compare #iTerm color schemes.

TIL you can customize (with high precision) exactly how double-click selection works in #iterm

For instance, (by default) double clicking a string surrounded by quotes selects the contents _and_ the quotes. I just wanted the contents and was able to adjust that.

Very cool!

Here's a nice #iTerm tip: to open a file's enclosing folder with cmd-click (instead of iTerm2's default behaviour to open the file itself) choose under Profiles > Advanced > Semantic History the option "Run command..." with the following:

open "`dirname \1`"

I’ve been enjoying writing #powershell on my mac. Very similar experience to on Windows.

My only bug bear is the terminal in #VSCode cannot be #iterm. So my nice formatting etc just isn’t there 😭

Dateien-Sync zur Synology DiskStation mit rsync, SSH und einem YubiKey
Ein Backup auf die Synology DiskStation lässt sich mit Synology Drive sehr einfach einrichten. Damit funktioniert die Datensicherung auf einwandfrei, solange man nur eine IP-Adresse anstatt einem Domainname mit Zertifikat für das Gerät verwendet.

Dann kann das mit Synol

New blog post: Scripting iTerm Key Mappings

https://jeroenjanssens.com/itermkeymap/

To improve my iTerm+tmux experience, I’ve set up a whole bunch of key mappings. Rather than defining these manually, I wrote a Python script to generate the corresponding JSON programmatically.

#iterm #tmux #terminal #python

Is anyone else using #warpTerminal? I'm loving the ability to jump back a command block at a time, particularly for debugging large outputs. I'm annoyed that I can't use Vi keyboard shortcuts, though, as I can in #iterm #warp #iterm2

Can we just ...not... add ChatGPT to everything? Nobody needs to carry a conversation with their Terminal emulator.

Stop it. #chatgpt #macos #iterm

OMG! 🤩

I'm such a sucker for good UI/UX and design, and these alternative #KittyTerminal icons are too cute. Especially the white cat on the ADM-3A terminal is too cute to resist.

I am halfway through the Kitty terminal docs, and I'm pretty sure I'll consider Kitty a replacement for #iterm.

Thank you, @jessarcher for your #LaraCasts course on #neovim and introducing Kitty!

Thursday morning, and I'm not working, but reading into and playing with #KittyTerminal.

I am a long-time user of #iTerm and like it, but I heard and read of fellow developers running on Kitty, so it's time to give it a try.

My first impression is very positive. Kitty uses so little resources, it does not even show up in my top 5 processes on #macOS when I run it.

The configuration is very granular and well commented. Best feature for me so far, a built-in TUI themes browser.

A few years back an #AppleScript action I was using to open #iTerm in a selected Finder window broke. I’ve just got around to find out why. Needs a brand new script https://gist.github.com/pdanford/158d74e2026f393e953ed43ff8168ec1

@nomiddlename Thanks! I just installed #brew & #iterm.

I wrote this awhile ago but may be useful to some people. How to source environment variables from 1Password in your terminal!

I've been using this term for a couple of years already and I just found out today about this ... it's amazing what new things you discover while looking through the docs lmao

Alacritty now supports scrollback, https://jwilm.io/blog/alacritty-lands-scrollback/.

But that's not the biggest news. The 0.2 version is _fast_, like _really fast_.
