A number of Mac OS X applications support tabbed terminals, such as, and the X11 apps such as. Some users are happy with these solutions, but none of them worked for me:.
iTerm is too unresponsive-it feels like typing in a lagged SSH session when I'm actually on localhost!. GLTerm is not currently in development and is now quite dated. Runbow for mac. X11 apps are fast, but they don't behave the same as Carbon appsFinally, I came across which is a Java based terminal emulator packaged as a native Mac app. It supports a number of important features:.
Tabs!. Faster than iTerm, but a bit slower than Terminal. Automatic logging of the session. Drag and drop from the Finder. A Find feature to search the current session.This is worth a look if you want a tabbed terminal application. I've found screen to be essential. Here's how I use it (note ^ means hold the 'ctrl' key down when typing the next letter; ^m is the same as hitting 'return'): 1.
^a:captions always%w^m 3. ^ac^ac^ac^ac^ac 4. ^a0^aA^ufoo^mssh foo^m 5. ^an^aA^ubar^mssh bar^m 6. ^an^aA^ubiff^mssh biff^m 7.
^an^aA^ubaz^mssh baz^m 8. ^an^aA^uquux^mssh quux^m 9.
^ad This may seem like a lot of work, just to get started. What I've done here is (1) started a screen session, (2) set a caption line at the bottom which will always show what 'tab' I'm in, (3) started five shells in separate tabs, (4-8) named each for a different machine foo, bar, biff, baz, quux and logged in to each using ssh, and (9) disconnected the session. But the beauty thing is, I don't need to repeat this process ever, unless the machine I started the screen session on goes down. So 1-9 should be done on a server or desktop machine that stays up.
(You can rlogin/ssh first from a remote machine, of course.) To reconnect to the 5-tab session, log in to the server, type 'screen -rA' and be amazed! All the tabs are live; none of the ssh sessions are gone. If you start programs in different tabs (e.g., try running 'top' in the active tab) before disconnecting, they will still be running when you reconnect! Now open a new terminal or log in to the server from a terminal on another machine (while keeping one eye on the session you just recovered), type 'screen -drA' and be even more amazed! The existing session disconnects, and you're reconnected in the new terminal. Everything is still live and working. What is even more cool is that, if your remote login is disconnected due to a network outage, the screen session normally disconnects cleanly and you can reconnect when the net comes back using 'screen -rA' again.
This feature has saved me many times. To move between tabs, type '^an' (next), '^ap' (previous), or '^a0' or '^a1' etc. For tabs named foo, bar, etc. '^a ' (space bar) also rolls to the next tab. '^aa' toggles between the two most recently selected tabs.

Almost all the ^a commands tolerate holding the ctrl key down for the next letter as well. This is particularly nice for '^a^a' toggling. Remember '^ad' to disconnect and 'screen -list' to see that your existing (disconnected) session(s) is still running.
Hope this helps. I use iTerm 0.8.0 0.8.1 had a very annoying bouncing icon that you could not get rid of. 0.8.2 got rid of the bouncing icon, but it had a memory leak that would crash it if you had a lot of stuff going into the scroll back region. They know about the bug and it is apparently fixed in the cvs source pool. I have been happy with iTerm and I am a software developer working in Vim most of the day ssh'ed into various Linux systems. As for speed, I'm not going to notice anything at work as I have a PowerMac Dual G5/2.5GHz system with lots of memory (2.5GB).
At home I use my 1GHz G4 14' iBook with 640MB. I do not find any real problems with iTerm running at home, but I also use it less at home, as that is when I surf and do more typical home user stuff. Bob Harris. With the servers I connect to, the always have an idle disconnect set. Often I can be working on code for a good hour before needing to run it on the remote server at which point its logged me out. Its no biggie, but its frustrating to have to keep logging in each time and there's no way I can get them to turn the idle disconnect off.
So far, I've only found iTerm has an anti-idle disconnect feature.and it works well. But iTerm just feels so slow. Its not got any of the snappiness of terminal. Everything you type feels laboured. Terminator seems good, pretty fast and has tabs, but no anti-idle disconnect feature.
I would pay money to have that with a snappy interface and tabs. Actually, having posted that comment, I did work out what was wrong. Although iTerm can do it for you, it has a setting that tells it to send a null character every few minutes, the other way to do it is to edit the /edc/sshconfig file and add a line that says: ServerAliveInterval 300 And that will do the quivalent.every five minutes it will send a few packets to keep the connection alive.
The reason the connection can drop is either due to the ssh server or due to firewall/router inbetween that sees and idle connection and kills it. Doing the above fixes it, although its a bit of a pain as you have to start mucking around with system files. With that now set.Terminator is fast and has tabs and my ssh connectons stay alive.
Just what I was looking for!:). While I use iTerm and its automatic 'Copy' when you select something, I still have a Terminal.app running and I have the need to copy/paste in other applications. My solution is a 4 button Logitech iClick mouse. The left and right buttons are the standard click and control-click. The scroll wheel can be clicked and I have it mapped to Command-C (copy). The 4th button I have mapped to Command-V (paste).
It is not ideal, but it does make it easier over all. One more thing. Terminal.app allows you to select text and then drag and drop the selected text. I do use this from time to time, but for the most part, I stick with my mouse button mappings.
Bob Harris. What you describe works to some extent in 10.4's Terminal. Select some text, then press button 3 (the scrollwheel), and the text is pasted. I don't know when they added this feature, but I'm glad they did.
One limitation, though, is that it works only in a single terminal window. You can't select text in one terminal window and then paste it an another with the middle mouse button. (You obviously can't paste the selected text into another application, either.) A more positive way to say this is that selecting text doesn't overwrite what you had in the clipboard.:-). I tried Terminator. It hopelessly garbles the characters in the encoding I am using (Hungarian), I would like to report this as a bug, but when go to -Help-Report a Bug it launches Mail which asks me to create a new account. I am not using Mail to mail I just want to send a bug report.
I found absolutely NOTHING about the authors and/or bug submission on the Terminator site which I found remarkable but sad at the same time. Any help on how I can submit a Terminator bug report (now also about bug reporting:-) is appreciated. On the other hand it has to be said that the Hungarian encoding is a really funny one on the mac, I have the suspicion that it is buggy. It promises to be ISO-latin2 (which is normally used as a reasonable 8-bit substitute), but on the terminal the backspace and backarrow garbles the commandline, i.e., with some characters it thinks it is two or the other way round.

This is really annoying. Has anyone experienced this problem with this or other non-English encodings? (this would be worth another thread maybe) So after all it may not be Terminator's fault, but does make it unusable for me unlike Terminal. I haven't played around much yet, but sg on the positive note: I noticed that apart from looking pretty if you (accidentally) output a lot of text to the standard output, you can kill it with Control-C and it stops intantaneously. This is not the case in Terminal which sometimes needs half a minute to stop which gets on my nerves.
