You may want to look into tmux :) Then again, nearly 100% of my in-terminal work is done from another, permanently-connected machine, and my mac is just a portal to my linux-box-du-jour. > And of course I've spent some time tuning fonts and colours, and made > things slightly transparent with a slight brightening for the currently > focussed pane. iTerm2 has lots of features, but the ones above are the > real winners for me. I am pretty pleased with Terminal.app from Lion forward, but my work machine is sadly still on Snow Leopard (silly corp IT policy, don't ask) so I tried out iTerm2 again and now I use it primarily on both of my macs. -Jeremy
