I tried the same thing a year or so ago and there were a few items that brought me back to iTerm2. They’re going to seem super minor, but I use them often enough that it made a difference.

Text selection is better and customizable. Makes it easier to select things like up addresses with a double click.

Hotkey window is just too damn convenient. I end up using it all the time when I just need to execute one-off commands.

It’s gonna sound super minor, but

I use Hammerspoon to hotkey Terminal (and a bunch of other apps with other shortcuts) with ctrl+` like I used to do with iTerm:

  -- Give Terminal the same toggle as iTerm 2
  hs.hotkey.bind('ctrl', '`', function()
  if hs.application.title(hs.application.frontmostApplication()) == "Terminal" then
  hs.eventtap.keyStroke('cmd', 'h')
  else
  hs.application.launchOrFocus("Terminal.app")
  end
  end)
I’m not opposed to iTerm, but I needed a break from heavy customized environments for a bit and this was the one feature I needed to replicate.
