![]() a full-screen view (and you can choose from either its own or OS X's built-in full-screen mode I greatly prefer iTerm's own full-screen mode, since it doesn't force you to move to a new 'Space', thus allowing Command-Tab to still work properly).Terminal-level auto-completion (I don't use this feature so I can't detail how it has advantages over shell-level autocompletion: especially if you use the fish shell or zsh, then it may not be better). ![]() Special provision for integrating with tmux (an alternative to GNU screen, and which most people regard as better & faster than screen).Split panes (the sort of thing you can do in GNU screen or tmux, but at the level of the terminal emulator rather than in a program running on the server).Support for 256 colors (you'll never go back to 16 colors after using 256).While the original iTerm had a tabbed interface before Terminal did, iTerm 2 again eclipses Terminal by adding: The best GUI application for SSH (and everything else you can do on the command line) is iTerm 2.
