iTerm2 3.2.0 (OS 10.12+)
This is the recommended build for most users.
iTerm2 3.2.0
The big new feature in iTerm2 version 3.2 is a new rendering
engine that uses Metal. It provides much higher drawing
performance. Its availability is subject to some
configuration settings. For details, see
https://gitlab.com/gnachman/iterm2/wikis/Metal-Renderer.
New Features
------------
- Metal renderer
- Show inline images in Retina resolution.
- There is a new key binding action to toggle mouse
reporting.
- Semantic history now recognizes visual studio code-style
"filename[line, column]" references.
- There's a new type of trigger that turns text into a
hyperlink.
- Add support for VS Code Insiders to semantic history's
editors.
- Warn if the terminal tries to access the clipboard when it
lacks permission rather than silently denying it.
- Change ReportCellSize to include a scale factor, which
gives how much images will be downscaled by because of
Retina support.
- New advanced pref: Fraction of character’s width on its
right side that can be used to select the character to its
right.
- New advanced pref: Open a new window when you click the
dock icon and no windows are already open?
- New advanced pref: When Focus Follows Mouse is enabled,
activate the window under the cursor when iTerm2 becomes
active?
- New advanced pref: Underline Semantic History-selectable
items under the cursor while holding cmd?
- You can now escape $$ in an Applescript profile command
with $$$$
- New advanced pref (affecting semantic history's URL
detection): URLs must contain a scheme?
- New advanced pref: Minimum weight difference between
regular and bold font.
Bug Fixes
---------
- Triggers and Find now recognize tab characters.
- Fix a bug where Triggers and Find would sometimes not see
past a double-width character that was wrapped to the next
line.
- When you drag a session onto itself in a window with split
panes, do not move the window.
- Don't allow fullscreen or edge-attached windows to be
moved with cmd-opt-shift-drag.
- Fix the color picker's eyedropper feature to respect color
spaces.
- If multiple hotkey windows are open, do not return to the
previously active app when one is closed.
- When changing the number of lines of scrollback, do not
apply the change until focus leaves the text field. This
solves a problem where erasing the value would erase your
history.
- Scrolling with wheel mice is no longer oversensitive.
- Change behavior of prompt-before-closing for tmux
integration. Since the list of jobs is not visible, always
prompt when a whitelist of jobs is specified.
- Fix a bug where changing the cursor shape by escape
sequence could be reverted by changing any profile
property.
- When the password manager fails to get a password because
the system Keychain denied access, show an alert
explaining what happened.
- Ignore modifier+number when there's no matching
pane/tab/window to switch to rather than passing it to the
terminal as a keypress.
- Fix a bug where cmd-0 did not restore the original font
size in tmux integration.
- Ignore malformed OSC 11.
- Fixes a bug where images could be drawn in the wrong
column.
- Improved behavior of Yen key sending backslash for
Japanese keyboards.
- "Select Current Command" works while the command
is running
- Fix a bug where the offer to turn off paste bracketing
didn't actually turn off paste bracketing.
- Fix a bug where a floating hotkey window overlapped the
emoji panel.
- Improve reliability of entering native full screen.
Other improvements
------------------
- When a split pane in tmux integration mode closes the
nearest neighbor gets keyboard focus rather than the first
split pane in the tab.
- When not in alternate screen mode, tab will change the
background color of cells the cursor skipped over. This
violates tradition but is more sensible behavior for
printing syntax-highlighted code with tabs.
- Inset marks by one pixel on the left margin.
- The rendering of faint text has been changed to take the
background color into account.
- The toolbelt tools look nicer in the dark schemes.
- The pointing hand cursor will show only while over a
clickable item while holding cmd.
- Tab name truncation no longer takes a parenthesized (job)
name at the end into account when deciding whether to
truncate the head or tail.
- Add an option to share the tip of the day.
- Treat { and } as shell characters to escape.

Major New Features ------------------ - Deep tmux integration! Have you ever had an ssh session lost because you had to reboot, had a network failure, or the power went out? Are you tired of giving up a keystroke to tmux or screen? Suffer no longer! iTerm2 and tmux are now deeply integrated. By installing a special version of tmux, it gains the ability to speak directly to iTerm2. When you run tmux with -CC, iTerm2 will open real, native windows or tabs for each tmux window. The whole state of your tmux session is reflected in native iTerm2 windows. As you interact with a window, your typing is sent back to tmux. Any time you resize a window, add a split pane, close a split pane, close a window, or open a window (with Shell->tmux->new window), that action happens in tmux as well as in iTerm2. All the details are at https://code.google.com/p/iterm2/wiki/TmuxIntegration - A "Toolbelt" has been added. It's a drawer that opens to the right of a window and shows running jobs, paste history, a field for taking notes, and lets you open new windows/tabs/splits. Look for the Toolbelt menu. - Add "triggers." A trigger is an action that is performed when text matching some regular expression is received in a terminal session. More info here: http://www.iterm2.com/triggers.html - Add "coprocesses." A coprocess is a process, such as a script, that receives input from a terminal and whose output is fed into the terminal session as though the user were typing it. You can use them to automate interaction with scripts, download files with ZModem, and more. More info here: http://iterm2.com/coprocesses.html - You can now edit the smart selection regexes in Prefs>Profiles>Advanced. You can also assign actions that are added to the context menu when you right click on text that matches a smart selection rule. More info here: http://www.iterm2.com/smartselection.html - Support for OS 10.7 features including fullscreen, retina graphics, and window restoration. New Preferences --------------- - Add support for tiled background images (Foy Savas) - Add a preference to toggle hiding of the menu bar in non-Lion fullscreen.

You can drag panes by their titles, and there is a menu and a close button in it as well. - If no window is open, you can now select multiple items in the profiles and window and choose split horizontally/vertically to open a new window with the split. - Add tab colors to view menu and tab context menu (thanks, andreax79) - Add 'move session to window' context menu item. - When closing a session, free its scrollback buffer in a background thread to avoid hanging. - Alt-click moves the cursor to the click position. - Press cmd-9 to go to the last tab. - Add menu item to toggle broadcasting input to the current pane (make pane-by-pane toggling available to focus-follows-mouse users who couldn't open a context menu in a deselected pane) - "Find" continues to search as new text appears. System Integration ------------------ - In Mavericks, when system prefs are set such that multiple screens share one space, we only hide the dock and menu when a fullscreen iTerm2 window is on the first screen. - Handle inserting emoji text in mavericks with cmd-ctrl-space. - Make dock and menu bar appear by moving mouse to top/bottom of screen in non-Lion fullscreen mode. Remove hold-cmd-for-tabs. - Make it possible to launch iTerm2 from Applescript so it won't open any windows automatically. - Add support for Growl 1.3. - Support Lion's Restore functionality. - For new users under Lion, xterm-256color will be the default terminal. - Add ability to open .itermcolors files by double clicking on them. - Add 'New Window (Default Profile)' to dock menu. - Make growl alerts clickable (thanks, soul.cake.tuesday.duck and bauerb). - Make find text typed in one tab appear in all tabs' find bars. - App bundle is now signed. - When a file or folder is dragged onto the dock icon, open it in a new tab (not a new window). - Retina graphics Proprietary Escape Codes ------------------------ - Add escape code]50;SetMark^G to perform Edit > Set Mark command. - Add escape code to steal focus: ESC ]50;StealFocus^G (thanks, gordolio). - Add proprietary escape code esc]50;ClearScrollback^G to erase screen and scrollback buffer. - Add proprietary escape code esc]50;CurrentDir=/Path/To/Directory^G to notify iTerm2 of the current directory (so you can cmd-click on relative filenames and we'll know where they are). - Add proprietary escape code ]50;SetProfile=X^G to set the current session's profile to the one named X.- Add proprietary escape code to send text to clipboard. To use, send esc]50;CopyToClipboard=X^G followed by text followed by esc]50;EndCopy^G, where X is a clipboard name from the set: ruler, find, font, or general. If not specified, general is used. - Add esc]50;RequestAttention=x^G, where if x=1 the dock icon bounces and if x=0 it stops.

iTerm2 3.3.0beta5 (OS 10.12+)
This is the recommended beta build for most users.
iTerm2 version 3.3.0beta5 New Features Other Improvements - Simplify themes. Before, you could choose to use the Minimal theme with the Normal window style, but it looked terrible. Minimal looks good with the Compact window style. Users were also confused because the theme and window style are tightly coupled visually but distant in prefs. In this version, the compact window style is gone. By selecting the Minimal theme, Normal windows are automatically compact. The "Automatic" theme has been renamed to "Regular", and in this theme the Normal window style has a title bar. A new theme, "Compact" has been added which does away with the title bar but otherwise looks more like a standard macOS app than does Minimal. - Prevent repeated Print control sequences from locking up a session. - Do not draw the area left of the first tab as part of the first tab. - In minimal or compact theme, when the tabbar is on top or bottom and tabs stretch to fit width and you have one tab and you drag the tab and drop it outside any window, move the window instead of destroying the old one and creating a new one at the new location, which had the annoying side-effect of forgetting the Use Transparency setting. - Allow fractional point sizes with new font picker. - When restoring a window from an arrangement, try to put windows fully on-screen. This is useful if you have changed your displays since saving the arrangement. Bug Fixes - Fixes a problem on macOS 10.12 where sessions would terminate immediately after opening. - Preserve both the prompt and a partially entered command when clearing the screen. - Fix a bug where a window's title bar could become transparent. - Fix a bug where the title bar could have the wrong color. - Fixes a bug where the full screen tab bar could be inset on the left. - Fixes crash on cmd-click to invoke smart selection action. - Fixes various crashes. - Fix a bug where advanced initial working directory prefs had the wrong defaults. - Fix a bug where using a session immediately after creating it in AppleScript would have no effect. ------------------------------------------------- Release notes for 3.3.0: New Features - A Python scripting API has been added to enable extensive configuration and customization.

This is the recommended beta build for most users.
- Hide window shadow for windows with transparent sessions in the current tab on Mojave. Apple broke transparent windows so this workaround is necessary for acceptable performance. - Fix how LANG is computed on Mojave. Apple broke locales. - Fix viewing PDFs on Mojave with imgcat. This one isn't Apple's fault! - Improve performance when blinking text is enabled (even if none is visible).

iTerm2 3.2.4beta1 (OS 10.12+)
This is the recommended beta build for most users.
Bug fixes: ---------- - Fix a bug where the local variables would not be set correctly for non-English users. I blame Apple. - Fix a problem where iTerm2 would not request permission for camera, mic, etc. on behalf of terminal applications. - Fix a bug where non-ASCII text would not be antialiased if there was no non-ASCII font specified. This affected the GPU renderer. - Reduce the amount of "ghost" text visible in windows with transparency. The use of transparency is discouraged for large windows because of performance problems in macOS 10.14. The frequency of updating the window shadow is configurable by a new advanced setting. - Improve the drawing of underlines in the GPU renderer. - Fix a bug where the prefs panel would appear beneath another app's window when using a floating hotkey window. - Fix various crashes. SHA-256 of the zip file is 23f9ed821ca0e7210ee8c1093655c75a154265b4891459d020f4178fb0e20c7b

Previously, if you had enabled this hidden OS feature, text would be very hard to read. - Improve the appearance of translucent tmux integration windows on Mojave. - Change how "thin strokes" works on Mojave. The concept only applies to subpixel antialiasing. You can either choose to turn on subpixel antialiasing (and adjust stroke thickness) or leave it off and live without. - Fix a bug where left/right-of-screen hotkey windows floating over another app's full screen window did not go all the way to the top of the screen. - Add usage descriptions so programs running within iTerm2 that use the camera, contacts, location, the microphone, or contacts can request permission to do so. Other improvements: ------------------- - Expose English keyboard emulation setting in Prefs>Keys. If switching panes/tabs/windows by pressing modifier+number stopped working and you have a non-English keyboard, go flip the switch there.

This is the recommended beta build for most users.
The big new feature in iTerm2 version 3.2 is a new rendering engine that uses Metal 2. It provides much higher drawing performance. Its availability is subject to some configuration settings. For details, see https://gitlab.com/gnachman/iterm2/wikis/Metal-Renderer.

On by default in beta. In release, enable advanced pref "Show inline images at Retina resolution". - There is a new key binding action to toggle mouse reporting. - Semantic history now recognizes visual studio code-style "filename[line, column]" references. - There's a new type of trigger that turns text into a hyperlink. Bug Fixes - When you drag a session onto itself in a window with split panes, do not move the window. - Don't allow fullscreen or edge-attached windows to be moved with cmd-opt-shift-drag. - Fix the color picker's eyedropper feature to respect color spaces. - If multiple hotkey windows are open, do not return to the previously active app when one is closed. - When changing the number of lines of scrollback, do not apply the change until focus leaves the text field. This solves a problem where erasing the value would erase your history. - Scrolling with wheel mice is no longer oversensitive. - Change behavior of prompt-before-closing for tmux integration. Since the list of jobs is not visible, always prompt when a whitelist of jobs is specified. - Fix a bug where changing the cursor shape by escape sequence could be reverted by changing any profile property. - When the password manager fails to get a password because the system Keychain denied access, show an alert explaining what happened. - Ignore modifier+number when there's no matching pane/tab/window to switch to rather than passing it to the terminal as a keypress. - Fix a bug where cmd-0 did not restore the original font size in tmux integration. - Ignore malformed OSC 11. - Fixes a bug where images could be drawn in the wrong column. - Improved behavior of Yen key sending backslash for Japanese keyboards. - "Select Current Command" works while the command is running - Fix a bug where the offer to turn off paste bracketing didn't actually turn off paste bracketing. Other improvements - When not in alternate screen mode, tab will change the background color of cells the cursor skipped over. This violates tradition but is more sensible behavior for printing syntax-highlighted code with tabs. - Inset marks by one pixel on the left margin. - The rendering of faint text has been changed to take the background color into account. - The toolbelt tools look nicer in the dark schemes. - The pointing hand cursor will show only while over a clickable item while holding cmd. - Tab name truncation no longer takes a parenthesized (job) name at the end into account when deciding whether to truncate the head or tail. - Performance improvements.

iTerm2 3.1.beta.3 (OS 10.10+)
This is the third beta of 3.1. Compared to 3.0.x, it contains many new features. Compared to the previous 3.1 beta, it contains a number of bug fixes and a handful of new features.
New features:
- Add support for OSC 8 to do hypertext links. The syntax is:
OSC 8 ; params ; url ST
params is zero or more colon-delimited key=value strings. The only
defined key is "id". Two adjacent hyperlinks with the same URL but
different "id"s will not highlight together on hover. id is
optional.
As usual, OSC is 'esc ]' and st is 'esc \'.
- Trigger highlighting colors in a dynamic profile may use #rrggbb
notation.
- Semantic history can now open file:line:column in VSCode.
- Change "Open in current space" for hotkey windows to move the hotkey
window to the current space if it's already open on another space
when the hotkey is pressed.
- Add an advanced pref to tweak the height of the underline cursor.
- Add an experimental feature to draw an outline around underline and
vertical bar cursors to improve distinction from text.
Bug fixes:
- Add a send text request to the experimental API server
- Add an advanced pref to use full-height cursor (including vertical
padding area)
- Draw underline and vertical line cursor behind text to
improve readability.
- Update to Sparkle 1.17 (with iTerm2-specific patches)
- The first time the tmux gateway is auto-buried, open the
sessions menu and point out how to restore it with a popover hanging
off an invisible high-level window.
- Prevent marks from getting absurdly wide when margins are
increased well beyond their defaults.
- Add a clear button to captured output tool.
- Fix a truly terrible memory leak.
- Fix a bug where double-tap of a modifier didn't work to open a
hotkey window if it didn't also have a regular shortcut.
- Fix a leak of inline images.
- Fix a bug where sessions aren't restored correctly if the number of
scrollback lines is small.
- Fix a bug where the find cursor UI would not be removed if you
switched sessions while it was open.
- Improve performance in neovim by ensuring the display updates more
regularly.
- Give scrollers a light appearance when the window has a dark
appearance so they'll be visible.
- There's a hack to make the app active when the space changes
to a lion fullscreen window and the app isn't active. This is needed
only for LSUIElement apps, where the OS gets confused. Limit the
hack to LSUIElement mode since you could use spaces and have two
monitors.
- Use SRGB for OSC 6 ; 1 ; bg ; red ; brightness ; Pc ST. It
was unstable before because I'd set the value in calibrated and then
convert it to SRGB when modifying a different component.
- 6f9ab24 Don't crash on OSC 7 with bad URL.
- Fix a bug where we incorrectly removed the tab color from
non-tmux sessions. It should have removed the tab color from tmux
sessions that have one in the tmux profile but not in the saved
session state.
- Handle ligatures in Firacode better if had previously turned off
ligatures in a different ligature font.

iTerm2 2.9.20160426 beta (OS 10.8+)
This is the recommended beta build for most users. It contains a bunch of bug fixes, including fixes for some crashers.
iTerm2 2.9.20160426 Lots of bug fixes and some teeny new features. Release notes now include the SHA-256 of the zip file. This is a follow up to the short-lived version 2.9.20160422, which had some crashing bugs. - Fix two crashes that happened frequently in versions of OS X 10.10 and older (failure to remove an observer and use of a 10.11 API) The following changes were also in 2.9.20160422: Updates: - Update libssh to version 1.7 to fix a crash when public key authentication fails. - Update to the latest version of Sparkle, version 1.14. Major bug fixes: - Fix a memory leak. - Fix a crash when changing the number of displays. - Fix a crash when there is no general pasteboard. - Improve performance when a tmux window has a lot of tabs. - Setting the background image via an escape sequence is now disabled when the terminal is marked untrusted in advanced prefs. - Make the scure input menu item indicate the true state of secure input, even if another app has turned it on. - Remember the width that the tab bar was dragged to when it's on the left. New Features: - Add regular expression substitution to the advanced paste window. - Offer to install utilities (currently imgcat and it2dl, which downloads files) when you install shell integration. - Add a new custom escape sequence. OSC 1337 ; ReportCellSize ST will respond with OSC 1337 ; ReportCellSize= H ; W ST where H and W are floating point values giving the height and width of a cell, respectively. - Parse /etc/auto_master to find NFS automounts and ignore them for semantic history because they tend to be slow to statfs(). - Add Select Current Command to the Edit menu. It selects the command at the current command line. It requires that Shell Integration be installed. - Set TERM_SESSION_ID and TERM_PROGRAM_VERSION for compatibility with Terminal.app's standard. Improvements to Automatic Profile Switching: - Fix a bug where Automatic Profile Switching rules were scored incorrectly. Longer rules now outrank shorter rules ceteris paribus, as they always should have. - Add support for "sticky" Automatic Profile Switching rules. A sticky rule begins with ! and will stay in effect after its rules no longer match (provided no other APS rule matches). - Add support for wildcards in path names in Automatic Profile Switching rules. Visual Improvements: - Modernize the look of the Open Quickly window. - Improve the visual appearance of inactive tabs with colors. - Left-align tab labels when the tab bar is on the left. - Add high-contrast themes. New Preferences: - Add a checkbox to Window preferences to make non-default background colors always opaque. - Add an advanced preference to disable dictionary lookup on force press. - Add an advanced preference to specify directories to ignore for semantic history. - Add an off-by-default advanced preference to redraw the screen after Clear Buffer is selected. - Add an advanced preference that makes cmd-click invoke semantic history even when iTerm2 is not the active app. Minor bug fixes: - Fix a bug where open quickly would not search the names of sessions that had been renamed in Get Info. - Improve how the bold version of your font is chosen. - Fix a bug where non-anti-aliased underlines were too thick. - Change how the view is redrawn. It now redraws 30 times per second when active. Previously it did some really complicated, poorly understood, and probably buggy things with adaptive rates. - Fix a bug where the hamburger menu's Restart Session item would restart the tab's current session, not the session associated with the menu. - Improve signal handling for shells without job control by making the session retoration server a process group leader. - Fix a bug where trying to tmux -CC attach to a tmux server without a session would cause us to write a command to the shell prompt. - Fix a bug where the activity indicator in a tab wouldn't appear with a dark theme, sometimes. - Reduce CPU usage in certain cases by not drawing tab labels and computing their sizes excessively. - Improve predictability of restoring the default window arrangement. - Fix a bug where user names were not properly escaped as an argument to login. - Fix a bug where moving a selection's endpoint by one character with the keyboard would move it by two sometimes. - Fix a bug in how selected text is reported to accessibility. - Fix a bug where option-click to move the cursor didn't handle double-width characters properly. - Fix a bug where an unterminated DCS code would cause output to be consumed indefinitely. Now we stop when we get a control character besides ESC or non-ASCII text. - Pass -q to login if ~/.hushlogin exists. Fixes an issue where open a session in a directory other than your home directory would not respect hushlogin. - Improve the appearance of top-right indicators when timestamps are being drawn. - Allow windows without a title bar to be miniaturized. - Fix the colors of Advanced Preferences when the preferences panel is not key. - Fix a bug where right mouse clicks were reported incorrectly. - Update TextMate's bundle identifier for the new version with captial letters. - Make the custom escape sequence SetBackgroundImageFile with an empty name remove the background image. - Fix a bug where launching Atom with shell integration would open two files. - Fix a bug where the current prompt loses the link to its mark when a window is resized with bash. - Improve the visual appearance of marks, especially with larger fonts. - Highlight marks in red when they have an error code when navigating to them. - Make the confirmation click prompt to disable tip of the day more noticeable.

iTerm2 2.9.20160313 beta (OS 10.8+)
This is the recommended beta build. It contains a humongous number of bug fixes, improves how Automatic Profile Switching works, and a lot more. Check the release notes if you don't believe me.
tl;dr: Lots of bugs fixed. Significant changes to automatic profile swiitching.
Miscellaneous small new features added.
Major Changes:
- Change how Automatic Profile Switching to keep a stack of profiles. When no
APS rule is matches the current state, we pop profiles from the stack until it
has only one or we find one whose rule matches.
- Update to libssh2 version 1.7.0. Fixes a bug where known_hosts entries got
clobbered and adds new algorithms.
New Prefs:
- Add an advanced setting to disable escape sequences that could be misused by
untrusted content. Issue 4229.
- Add a new advanced setting to control how many bytes of context are used in
semantic history. Issue 4399.
Updates to Semantic History:
- Treat IP addresses and hostnames with at least two components as URLs for
semantic history. Issue 4281.
- When opening a file from semantic history, if no app is able to handle opening
the file offer the user the option to pick an app and associate it as the
default viewer. Issue 4281.
- Strip enclosing parentheses, angle brackets, square brackets, apostrophes, and
quotes from filenames in sementic history (used to be just parens).
Other Improvements:
- Left-side tab bar can now be dragged wider or narrower. Issue 4270.

targets' username, hostname, and destination directory.
- When pasting one line ending with a newline to the shell prompt, offer to
strip the trailing newline.
- Rename the trigger action 'Set Directory' and 'Set Host and User' to reduce
confusion. Allow 'Report Host and User' to report only the host ("@hostname")
or only the user ("username@").
- Replace \n and \xXX in the badge with newline and an ascii value.
- Add a "Don't Ask Again" option to the offer to restart a session.

Quickly window then results are restricted to window arrangements, searching
sessions, switching profiles, and opening tabs, respectively.
- Automatically detect when you're tryiing to use the scroll wheel to move
through a document in alternate screen mode and offer to change the setting.
- Add support for a custom CSI code: CSI 1337 n. We'll report a string of 'CSI
ITERM2 versionnumber n'. This is useful for detecting that iTerm2 version 3 is
running in a way that's compatible with other terminals.

as specified by the profile, not always off. Issue 4272
- Fix a bug where renaming a profile while the profile list view is sorted
alphabetically would change the selected profile. Issue 4085.

well) composed of more than one ideograph didn't select the full word on
double click. Issue 4325.
- Don't draw the same timestamp over and over on consecutive lines. Indicate
repeating timestamps with a double line. Increase the alpha value of the
timestamp background to 90%. Issue 4333.
- Fix a bug where Search fields in the toolbelt would try to autocomplete for
some users.

iTerm2 2.9.20150626 beta (OS 10.7+, Intel-only)
This is the recommended beta build for most users. It has major changes over 2.1.1. Learn all about the iTerm2 version 3 beta release.
There are a lot of new features in the version 3.0 beta release. It represents about eighteen months of development. These are just the highlights. - iTerm2 has been updated for the new Mac OS X Yosemite flat look and is stunningly beautiful. - Shell Integration is a modification to your shell's login script that informs iTerm2 of which commands you're running, which host you're logged in to, what your user name is, and what your current directory is. This enables all kinds of cool features, such as easily navigating to preceding shell prompts, getting a notification when a long-running job finishes, drag-dropping files to upload and download on remote hosts, and much more. All the details are at the Shell Integration document. - Session Restoration allows your jobs to keep running after iTerm2 upgrades, is force-quit, or crashes. It's like tmux without tmux! Note that this is off by default but it can be enabled in advanced settings. - Using the imgcat script, iTerm2 can display image files right in the terminal--even animated GIFs. See the Inline Images document for details. - The built-in Password Manager saves you from having to remember lots of passwords. It uses Mac OS's keychain to securely store them, and has built-in guards to prevent them from being accidentally transmitted when not at a password prompt. You can even write a Trigger that automatically opens the Password Manager at the password prompt. - Undo closing sessions, tabs, and windows. If you close a session by accident, you get five seconds to hit Cmd-Z to undo it. - Have lots of tabs? Put the tab bar on the left. Quickly search them by recent commands, directories, current host name, profile name, and more with the Open Quickly feature. - Dynamic Profiles allow you to store profiles in JSON files. This is really handy if you have lots of profiles or want to auto-generate them. See the Dynamic Profiles document for details. - Never lose your cursor. An optional cursor guide highlights the entire row your cursor is on and Cursor Boost dims all colors other than the cursor to make it really stand out. - Performance is greatly improved by parsing the incoming bytes off the main thread. Hundreds of bugs have been fixed. Lots of details have been improved: for example, if you print a binary file to the console, you're offered the option to silence the bell. You can edit strings before you paste them. You get warned before pasting tabs at your shell prompt. And much more!
