linux to an imac

2003-02-24 00:05 / tabbed terminals  »

I tried iTerm a couple of months ago, but it had a nasty habit of overloading the CPU as soon as more than one session was running. The latest version seems to have fixed that, and it barely uses any cycles at all now.

Anyway, it's basically a GPL tabbed replacement for Terminal.app, much like the gnome-terminal. An 'address book' keeps record of all your regular sessions and commands, with different colours and meta-keys for each. Tabs can appear at any side of the window, and the easy shortcut of command-arrow lets you nav from one tab to another.

Very shiny. Screenshot 1, with tabs on top, screenshot 2, with tabs on the side.
