Mac OS X | iTerm2 : Alternative to default Terminal

For me, terminal come pretty handy when I want to move several files or delete files by wildcard. However, sometimes you need to open several terminal in 1 profile. By default, if you want to open several terminal, you need to open another profile (create another tab).



In Linux, we do have a software called Terminator. In my Fedora's days, Terminal is my immediate replacement for Fedora default terminal. In Mac, we do have a software which behave like Terminator which is iTerm2.



Some of the iTerm2 features are:

• Split Panes
• Hotkey Window
• Search
• Autocomplete
• Mouseless Copy
• Paste History
• Instant Replay
• Configurability
• Full Screen

The best part of iTerm2 is you can configure your own shortcuts such as keyboard shortcut for split tab vertically, horizontally etc.

I personally think that for heavy terminal user should use iTerm2 as a direct replacement for default terminal :)
