How can I disable the bell icon/emoji from the title bar in iTerm2?
I find it annoying and get no use from it. Here's a picture of what I'm talking about:
Solution 1:
The bell is a visual indicator that the terminal bell "ringed".
You can disable it on a profile by orofile basis in the "Preferences" pane
Menu: Profiles | Open Profiles | Edit Profiles... | Terminal
in the "Notifications" section uncheck "Show bell icon in tabs"
Solution 2:
This is behavior is controlled via the Show bell icon in tabs preference mentioned earlier, but if changing that setting doesn't appear to do anything, you may have a corrupt preferences file or cache. Please try the following:
- quit Iterm2
- open Apple's Terminal (in /Applications/Utilities)
-
delete the following two items:
~/Library/Caches/com.googlecode.iterm2
&~/Library/Preferences/com.googlecode.iterm2.plist*
- re-launch Iterm2
- re-disable Show bell icon in tabs in Preferences > Profile > Terminal
Re-test to determine if issue is resolved.
