What's a terminal similar to iTerm2? [duplicate]

Solution 1:

I also use/d iTerm2. After trying out tmux and Yakuake, I opted for Terminator and am very happy with it. Reason being, I didn't want a purely CLI-based multiplexer (tmux) ... I wanted more GUI based controls. And I didn't want a KDE based GUI (Yakuake). Terminator was the closest I found to iTerm2. The only feature I didn't find was the "clear" feature.

After deciding to switch and coming to post this answer, I noticed @jrg said this also, as a comment. I posted this because I almost missed Terminator and don't want others to miss it.

I became totally dependent on split-screens, and now my addiction can rage on:

Complex layout example.

To install on Ubuntu or Mint, search for Terminator in Software Center ( Software Manager on Mint )... or open Terminal and type:

sudo apt-get install terminator

So far, the only feature I have not found is the ability to right-click on a session screen, and have a "clear" option to purge the buffer of visible text in that session.

Solution 2:

Even on the mac, I am using tmux! :)
