I’ve been using Hyper on and off for a while now. I recently returned to zsh in iTerm2 for the same reasons many others mentioned here. It _works_.

I still do toy with Hyper from time to time. A feature I do like is the hotkey-enabled pane-splitting. CMD+D to open a vertical pane. CMD+SHIFT+D to open a horizontal pane. CMD+W closes them — though I wish this option would prompt as I’ve accidentally closed panes a number of times by a poorly-timed keystroke. For somebody who doesn’t use swap files with VIM, this can be a killer.

I am very much looking forward to installing this on my Windows machine tonight, however. ConEmu is a beast, but sometimes I just want quick, simple access to a text editor or a few commands in a familiar environment.

Some days jumping into ConEmu feels like an alien world (especially when it comes to setup/options), and Powershell just so different from what I work in most of the time.

The bit of crossover, even if there are a few sacrifices, is appreciated as an option here.

PSA: In iTerm you can hit CMD+Z within a few seconds to unclose a tab or window.

Thanks for the tip. That will be useful.
