Use tabbed terminal windows with iTerm
Authored by: jyncroft on Mar 04, '03 11:02:53AM

I really like screen... I'm able to use it in any terminal program I happen to be running (or trying out). And the ability to ssh to an external server (so I can get my (banned) external email), and detach my screen session before logging out so I can re-attach when I re-login, is invaluable.

However, I like to have a history to scroll back on, esp when compiling. If I'm using screen, start the compile and then switch to another screen, I lose the history of that session. Scrolling back only gives me what was on my previous screen. Very annoying. (anyway around that?)

While iTerm *is* slower than Terminal.app and GLterm for display. It suits my purposes for most tasks. If I have a display intensive task, I'll just use terminal or GLterm (probably with screen).
