Preference vs Configure panels:
The Configure panels and the Preference panels are essentially the same thing, with the exception
that the Configure panel applies changes to the current window only.
The Preference panel changes the default session settings.
Preferences:
- Tab position: Top, left, bottom, right, or none.
- Prompt on close: With this enabled, iTerm will issue a warning prompt before closing a window or tab.
- Selection copies text: This will automatically put any selection onto the clipboard, basically emulating Cmd-C.
Note hwoever, that this preference is not needed for middle-button to act as paste. Pressing the middle mouse button
will paste whatever is selected in the current session. It does not emulate Cmd-V and read from the clipboard.
- Focus follows mouse: This does just that. Focusing is applied only when iTerm is the active application.
Windows are not raised, but instead just receive keyboard focus.
Bookmarks
The new organization of bookmarks depends on profiles. Bascially, you need
to create profiles first (there are several pre-defined profiles if you install iTerm from
scratch), and then create your bookmarks. There are 3 kinds of profiles associated with
each bookmark:
Keyboard, Terminal, and Display.
By using profiles, you can conveniently create bookmarks that share same properties.
Note that when you are supplying a command in a bookmark, you must use a profile
in which the "Close the session when it ends" option is
not set. Otherwise, the session will immediately close upon the
completion of the command.
Profiles
Keyboard
There is a "Global" profile in which you define keys for global things such as switching
tabs, scrolling screens.
The other profiles are used for bookmarks. You can specify either an escape sequence, a
hexcode, or to ignore, for each key along with modifiers. Several standard profiles come with the distribution,
including vt100, xterm, ansi and linux. You can modifiy these or create your own.
The global profile is read if there is no match for the key input in the bookmark specific
profile.
Terminal
Terminal profiles let you specify the emulation behavior of iTerm.
Display
Display profiles let you specify the display behavior of iTerm. You can create your own color set,
specify window size and choose your favorite font. Notice since every tab within a window should
have same size and font, the window settings will only be honored for the newly created windows.
