I am the iTerm2 guy. I eat, sleep, and breathe terminal emulation. It is my everything.
@apparebit bug’s fixed in tomorrow’s nightly build!
@saagar if you give it enough iterations it’s still testing “a lot”. This is probably more for emotional support than correctness but it’s harmless
@saagar seed the prng so it’s a deterministic test. If you change the code it might give a false fail but that’s better than no test and it won’t be flaky
@apparebit Try the current nightly build of iTerm2. There’s something for you in the Colors settings panel 😁 https://iterm2.com/nightly/latest

The release of iTerm 3.5.0 is such a great gift for its long-term users. It feels amazing to see my everyday tool continually improve.

iTerm2 is still the best terminal emulator on macOS, thanks to the hard work by @gnachman . I've tried to switch to alternatives like Kitty and WezTerm several times in the past decade, but none of them beat iTerm2 in terms of stability, feature richness, and ease of configuration. While iTerm2 may fall short in rendering efficiency, compared to how well it performs in other aspects, that's a minor concern.

There are so many AI critics in the HN comments. It's a pity they ignore all the good features in version 3.5.0 and focus only on a small, completely optional feature.

@me1000 the Mac as a redheaded stepchild
@SirBoostALot it’s been a while. Mostly Konsole because it’s ubiquitous.
@y2mango we should get lunch!
@y2mango sorry to hear that. Google seems to have lost its mind. Are you still in the Bay Area?
@y2mango hey! Good to hear from you. Hope all is well!
