While configuration is a bit of a mess, I find iTerm to be sturdy. It's an open source app that is OS X native (and scriptable) with support for tabs and full screen mode. I use OnMyCommand to put "Open iTerm Here" in my context menu when I right-click on any file or folder or folder background. Then iTerm *usually* is my launcher of choice (that is, it's rare that I open MacVim via the Finder). (another note of interest: I have "vi" aliased to mvim so that "vi" and "mvim" open gui MacVim and "vim" opens Terminal vim. My shell has "set -o vi" and my VISUAL editor is set for mvim) --Ted -- Ted Pavlic <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_mac" maillist.
