That's a neat feature, too bad I moved to Wezterm just so that I can sync my config between multiple OSs and devices easily.

iTerm2 is the only software that keeps me on macOS. The tmux control mode is godsend. I’m afraid of the day that Apple makes macOS so bad that I have to switch.

Same here. Actually, it's not the only one keeping me on macOS but so far every time I thought about switching, the lack of a good terminal with control mode has had veto power.

Tmux control mode was contributed by the iTerm2’s author and so far no other terminal has implemented this. Every time I see a new terminal emulator, I immediately check for this functionality.

Woah. Never even knew.

This is super cool. Does anyone know a way to get the status bar at the bottom of the window? At the top, it messes with my visual perception of my tabs.

Edit: Found it! Under Appearance, there's a setting for "Status Bar location" as top or bottom.
