iterm2 VS ohmyzsh

What terminal emulator are you using? I have noticed that the latest release of iterm2 has problems rendering glyphs (see this discussion and links therein). I too am having problems displaying any nerd font icon due to the aforementioned.

Found the bug report related: https://gitlab.com/gnachman/iterm2/-/issues/9372

2 things to note:

- This bug has 12 +1s, which suggests it was never very widespread (I could be wrong); and

- Big Sur was 2 major releases ago.

Like I mentioned, I never saw this issue, and had never heard of it despite the fact that probably about half the people I work with use Macs, and I believe nearly all of them use iTerm2.

I had trouble getting the tmux setup working in iterm.

The main page suggests -CC, but the best practices wiki[0] says to use `-CC new -A -s main`, but this causes iterm to warn that a session is already started and doesn't actually create or reattach like I expected. I also had trouble getting the tmux select-layout to work: when I tried it all my panes just exited with an error. I would like to have iterm behave similarly to Kitty's tall layout[1] which I think is the same thing as tmux's main layout, but haven't figured out how to make it work. Anybody have tips on making these wek?

The latest version (v3.4.16) was released 3 months ago.

I just found this, the synchronized updates spec from iTerm2: https://gitlab.com/gnachman/iterm2/-/wikis/synchronized-upda...

Googling for it, it seems some other terminals implement this as well.

According to https://gitlab.com/gnachman/iterm2/-/issues/8827, this occurs when "reporting is enabled". This means that mouse clicks are reported as special events to the application running in the terminal rather than being handled by the terminal emulator itself. According to https://iterm2.com/documentation-preferences-profiles-terminal.html, you can temporarily disable it by holding down Option.

I take it that the main at the end of the command in this screenshot is the name of the session?

If you are not using oh-my-zsh, you are missing out on some amazing plugins. One feature most people wish the terminal had is autocompletion. With the zsh-autosuggestions plugin, your terminal will autocomplete most commands and remember previous ones.

That’s the minimum terminal setup. You can modify the look and add plugins such as autocompletion to your terminal by installing ohmyzsh and using themes such as powerlevel10k. I am already using them.

Somewhat related is "Oh My ZSH!" which is basically zsh on steroids, it's always one of the first things I install on a new computer. It gives things like new colors, themes, plugins, and more. Highly recommend you check it out.

I had just gone through a fun tutorial for setting up oh-my-zsh with a nice color scheme from iterm2colorschemes.com and a decent prompt and I was wondering: can I make my oblique strategy look nice? how can you actually use the colors from your scheme in the output in your cli?

After this you going to visit Oh-My-Zsh which is where the magic will happen.

after automating my dotfiles, I want to automate my installations, after that I want to make my terminal easier to use so I add OMZ with many plugins, after that, I try to automate the backup of my setting on my Gnome but failed, then try using git-lfs for my big files but it turned out to be idiotic moves, bla bla bla many try and fail.
