It supports 256 colors, like xterm. iuse 256 color themes in vim and 256 color bash prompts. For examples and a list of escape sequences, see the Bash Prompt HOWTO. -Ben ------- Original message ------- From: Jed Hurt <jed...@gm...> Sent: 7/29/'07, 17:40 > Does iTerm support any color control sequences other than the ANSI 16? > I would like to color text output using a Ruby script, but the ANSI 16 > are pretty limiting.

Does iTerm support any color control sequences other than the ANSI 16? I would like to color text output using a Ruby script, but the ANSI 16 are pretty limiting. As iTerm can color text from the session info window using the full 32-bit palette, I'm assuming there must be some way to do it from within the terminal with scripting? |

I would like to use iterm's tab capability to run parallel programs (using MPI for message passing), each tab session corresponding to one process. I could not find a way which would work so far. I could successfully run a parallel job with each process displaying in a different iterm window, by invoking iterm from the command line, like mpirun -n 2 /Applications/Utilities/iTerm.app/Contents/MacOS/iTerm myprog but there does not seem to be any option that can be passed to iTerm on the command line in order to open a new tab rather than a new window. I tried to use an applescript in order to open tabs and run the programs in those, but all the sessions that are launched are totally independent from the mpi process that started them. Does anyone has a hint of wether this is possible at all with the current version of iterm or what could be tried?

OS X launches a "login" shell whenever you fire up a new Terminal or iTerm session. Take a look at the man page for bash and search for the "INVOCATION" section to see which files are sourced in a "login" v. "interactive" shell. Short answer: Symlink .bashrc to .bash_profile and you're pretty much covered no matter how you launch a shell. > 2.

I don't use arrow keys in vim, so I'm not sure what settings are necessary, but experiment with the iTerm keyboard profiles. I've switched from "xterm (OS X)" to normal "xterm", which seems to result in most console apps behaving better. -Ben -- Ben Beuchler There is no spoon. in...@em... -- The Matrix |

I am having two problems with a new installation of iTerm on a fresh Mac OS X install (fully up to date on updates). 1. When I open up iTerm, it doesn't apply my ~/.bashrc file which includes custom settings, prompt colors, etc. I know that bash is set as my default shell and runs when starting iTerm, but doesn't apply my .bashrc file until after I type "bash" once on the command line in iTerm. 2. When I use vim locally or via ssh to a remote Mac OS X box or Linux box the arrow keys aren't mapped and I'm forced to using 'h', 'j', 'k', 'l' for navigating the cursor around. This does not happen on another Mac of mine with iTerm which has me confused. Thanks for any suggestions, Jim |

Hello, This is a really basic newbie question. I like to color my terminals depending on what I'm doing in them, so green is for OK, and red for BE CAREFUL. So these colors are not set once for a particular host, but can change depending on what work I am doing on a particular host. In iTerm v.0.8.2 I could easily change the color by going in to Configure and it would take affect immediately. But I can't see how to do this in 0.9.5. I can create new colour display profiles, but how do I apply these to an already open session? Is there a way to do it? Thanks John |

Hey List! I had been searching around the net for a while and couldn't get any definitive answers, so I decided to post here. I was wondering if anyone had successfully mapped the meta key functionality to something besides ESC, particularly ALT. I have got the switch to work for both the built in terminal and xterm, but I still prefer to use iTerm, because of the tabs and integration with growl. So any answers as to how it can be done or why it can not be done would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance, Tucker |

Background - I use ssh-agent to store my keys for logging in to remote machines via ssh, this avoids typing my passphrase each time. I have to be logged-in locally to make use of the keychain before I ssh to a remote machine. I'm trying to create a bookmark that will log me in locally and then ssh to a remote server and for the command I've tried: login -fp phil; ssh myremoteserver login -fp phil && ssh myremoteserver Neither of these work as it seems to run as one command. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks Phil |

Hi, Anybody know how to make iTerm keep the bookmark name as the tab name? My tabs always change to whatever is the bash prompt, but I really just want it to stay with the bookmark name. Thanks! |

[If this is not the right environment for this post, please let me
know.]
I have been using iTerm for many months now, and am overall quite
happy with it.[1] I most often use it to ssh to one of a few Debian
GNU/Linux, Ubuntu GNU/Linux, or Mac OS X systems. I have no trouble
with any of these. I also occasionally ssh to a Sun Solaris system,
and have only minor problems there about which I don't care.
However, my job now requires that I do significant work on two
different, but theoretically identically configured, Red Hat
systems. I am not the sysadmin of these systems, and getting changes
made to them can be difficult, if possible at all.
When I ssh into the Red Hat systems from an iTerm session, I find
that my ALT key does not function as META. (I am testing this within
GNU Emacs on the target Red Hat system.) Depending on how I set the
iTerm terminal and keyboard profile and the TERM environment variable
on the Red Hat system (I have tried almost every combination, I
think), I am able to make things worse (e.g., colors fail or cursor
keys don't work), but not better.
My ALT-as-META works just fine when I ssh into the Red Hat system
from Apple's Terminal application. The settings that seem like they
may affect this are set as follows:
* preferences
- Declare terminal type ($TERM) as [xterm-color]
* terminal/keyboard
- Delete key sends backspace [NOT checked]
- Use option key as meta [checked]
* terminal/emulation
- Escape non-ASCII characters [checked]
- Option click to position cursor [NOT checked]
- Paste newlines as carriage returns [checked]
- Strict VT-100 keypad behavior [NOT checked]
- Reverse linewrap [checked]
So, how do I set my profiles such that iTerm will behave the same way
Terminal does? I figure I could use that as a starting point, at
least.
Any help appreciated. While I'm not at all new to Linux, Emacs, etc.,
and I have no fear of a command-line, I'm not capable of messing with
/etc/termcap, using stty or tset, or other low-level stuff on my own.
Note

[1] I have one relatively minor font-face quibble with the 0.9
release, but I will ask about that some other day.

Hi,
I'm using iTerm and am generally very happy, however one thing is
stumping me...
I have a UK MacBook, so shift-3 on my keyboard is a UK Pound sign, and
alt-3 is a hash (#) sign.
In the keyboard profiles I want to have alt mapping to either "meta" or
"esc +".
The problem is that having done this I can find no way of getting a #
sign into the terminal input (other than cut & paste).
Could anyone give me a clue how to map shift-3 (I don't need a UK pound
sign in a terminal) or alt-3 to produce a #
Cheers
Nigel.

The home page for iterm lists that asian characters are supported, but I can't get it to work right, even with build 0.9.3.1201. If I try to type japanese on the console, it just gets turned into whitespace after the conversion. Likewise if I try to drop a folder with a japanese name onto the terminal, which I often do in order to cd into a directory w/o switching to japanese input. Am I missing something, or has this case not been tested yet? I can provide some japanese text examples if needed. Although I see you have a japanese guy on the contributors list, so maybe I am just missing something... In which case, lil' help? :) Thanks in advance, Mat |

Hi, How do you use a profile, other than by activating a bookmark that's=20 configured to use that profile? Can I switch profiles on a session=20 (i.e., a tab) that's already running? thx, =97ml=97= |

Hi I noticed that window switching doesn't work anymore here. I don't use the defaults, because the keys aren't really accessible for me (Swiss German kbd layout). Instead, I configured some shortcuts in the "Global" section of the config (Bookmarks -> Manage Profiles -> Keyboard Profiles -> Global). My setting for "Previous Window" is set to Control-Command-Cursor Right. In the settings, it looks like described - but in the overview table, where all the settings are listed, it says: Key Combination: cmd-ctrl-NUM-cursor right. Guess that's a bit wrong. What can I do? Cheers Rico |

This is actually OS X behavior. If you highlight something, then hold down the mouse button on it for a moment, it turns into a sticky copy. You can duplicate this is virtually any OS X program, including Terminal.app. If you accidentally grab some text, you can hit the ESC key to cancel the operation. Hope this answers your question. -David |

Hello, I am a big fan of iTerm and have been using it since it came out. But the newer versions have this feature I just don't understand. If you are trying to select text in a terminal window, you sometimes get the cursor turning in to the big green + sign (what does that mean?) and when it appears you have no choice but to paste whatever is in the buffer randomly where you clicked. it is very annoying, as all I wanted to do was copy the selection, the good old fashioned way. Do you understand what I mean? Am I using it wrong? What does this thing do, and can I disable it, as I find it quite annoying when editing code, and the blah - paste of big unrelated text in middle of code. Any ideas? -- John |
