In order to make any tab into the fullscreen window, in Terminator, we have an option with shortcut ctrl+shift+X, perhaps I am trying to find the same shortcut in iTerm, but couldn't figure it out. I like to know if there is any shortcut exist or the feature is not present in iTerm.
After trial and error, I found it finally
cmd+shift+enter

For some reason the "ctrl+right" / "ctrl+left" keybindings does not work for me in visual studio code. I took a screenshot of my keybindings.json and the Keyboard Shortcuts Troubleshooting:
I've tried the same mapping without the "when" condition or different value but it didn't seem to do anything.
If I change the keybinding to other keybinding like "ctrl+shift+right" or "cmd+right" then keybinding activates. The output here suggests that the keybinding is not found by VS code.
Is there something special about Ctrl+Right/Ctrl+Left key combo?
I am using macOS Big Sur. I didn't touch any default system keybinding. I googled around for mac OS system keybinding but nothing came up under the "ctrl+right"/"ctrl+left" combo.
Before I switch over to VS code I was using Webstorm, which had this keybinding for many years. I never had any problem with it.
I'd appreciate any help or info.
Ctrl+Left/Right maps to desktop switching in macOS by default. So you need to go to Keyboard > Shortcuts in the System Preferences and remove Ctrl+Left/Right from Mission control

How can I make ctrl+right/left arrow stop changing Desktops in Lion?
Under Preferences -> 'Keys' It is possible to tick Show/hide iTerm2 with a system-wide hotkey.
However iTerm always appears on the main display (monitor) instead of where the cursor currently resides.
e.g. if I have three monitors, and am working on the third screen, the hotkey makes iTerm appear on first monitor, instead of where I am currently working.
Any advice how to solve this please?
UPDATE:
The bug strikes back again in v.3.1.6. If any workarounds are known, please share.
I'm on Sierra using iTerm 3.1 and I have the option under window to put the screen where the cursor is (bottom right drop down options). I'm using it with a hotkey.
The answer by Grant works.
The only thing you need to do is to install the beta version since there was a bug in the stable version.
This bug was fixed in 3.1.beta.1 https://iterm2.com/downloads.html
Here's the link to the latest beta version https://iterm2.com/downloads/beta/iTerm2-3_1_beta_4.zip
This may be a couple more keystrokes than you were hoping for, but if you install window management software like Size Up, you can get this working with just a few keystrokes.
Maintain your ⌥Space hotkey preference on Iterm2. Go to Size Up -> Preferences and change 'Send Window Prev Monitor' to an easy keystroke. I used ⌥1.
Now, you can do ⌥Space to get the terminal open and ⌥1 one or two times to get it to your monitor of choice. It takes a couple of key combos, but not too many!
I had this problem with macos monterey and iterm 3.4.15. I'm using the hotkey to show the terminal with slide-out window. After some search on the internet I found that disabling the option on system preferences to reopen closed documents solved the issue and the hotkey is now opening terminal on the screen with cursor as it should.
mac -> System preferences -> General -> (deselect this) Close windows when quitting an app
Neither of the above worked for me, but this helped, even though the question was quite different in that thread.
I've attached an external keyboard to my laptop and I've modified my keyboard mappings such that
1. Ctrl is CAPS
2. CAPS is Ctrl
I want to continue using the right Ctrl key as Ctrl instead of CAPS. Any pointes on how this can be achieved ?
I'm not at my mac right now so I might get this wrong, but...
Take a look at the group of variables named like ns-right-control-modifier, they control how the left and right modifier keys should behave.
You might need a recent version of Emacs to get full support.
I know this might be a little orthogonal to your problem, but I would sugget running emacs in iTerm 2 with emacs -nw
I say this because then in iTerm you have a little more control over the rebinding of the modifier keys by going to iTerm -> Preferences -> Keys. There you can remap both left and right keys.
I also suggest running emacs in the terminal because then if you use a terminal multiplexer like tmux or screen you have the ability to copy and paste from a terminal window right into your emacs buffer.
I've found these two articles
http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/vimfaq2html3.pl
(see 31.13)
and

But am unfamiliar with basic vim setup. Can anyone help me with a step by step instructions to making mouse usuage in command line mode automatically enabled? (and you will have good luck for a week if you can shed some light on enabling paste from OS to terminal window in VIM)
Note: Using latest mac os
To enable mouse support in all modes put this in ~/.vimrc:
set mouse=a
Note that Terminal.app has no mouse support, you'll need to use xterm in X11 to get mouse working.
I did find a 'plugin' for Terminal that claims to add mouse support, however it is in alpha and has no mention of 10.6. If it does work at all you'd probably need to run Terminal.app in 32 bit mode.
http://mac.softpedia.com/get/Utilities/MouseTerm.shtml
Try starting vim like this:
screen vim
That should enable copy/paste with the mouse.
You might also want to set-up an alias in ~/.bashrc for this.
Just use iTerm2 instead of the default Terminal.app. It has lots of other features, but mouse support alone makes it worth the switch.
I've been googling around trying to figure out if it's possible to use my mouse wheel to scroll while inside Vim in Mac's Terminal, with no luck. It seems as if only X11 or iTerm support this.
Before I give up, I thought I'd try the geniuses here to see if anyone knows a way to do this. So, does anyone know if I can set that up?
Or should I seriously consider using a different terminal application?
And if you're using iTerm, add this to your vimrc
:set mouse=a
http://bitheap.org/mouseterm/
Use MouseTerm (and do make sure to install SIMBL first!) and scrolling will work like a charm, even remote, using Mac Terminal.
You need to fully quit the Terminal application (Command+Q) and then launch it again after installing MouseTerm.
This is an old question, but a top hit on google, so I feel compelled to provide an updated answer.
Running OSX El Capitan 10.11, vim mouse and trackpad scrolling just worked(TM) for me in Terminal.app by default. However occasionally the mouse/trackpad input stopped manipulating the vim buffer, and started scrolling the terminal buffer. The answer was Command+R or Menu View --> Allow Mouse Reporting. Turning that on allowed the mouse/trackpad scroll operations to move the cursor in vim.
Termanal Menu > View > Allow Mouse Reporting
Terminal Menu > Preferences >
Keyboard > Scroll alternate screen
If the mouse functionalities still do not work properly take a look at my answer in this post How to let vim behave on Mac OS X as on Ubuntu?, just add to your .vimrc
set ttymouse=xterm2
You can read this article, but I'm pretty sure since the default terminal in Mac OS X has a built-in scrollbar, the mousewheel commands automatically go to it. You could definitely use gVim as suggested in the previous answer. I find that I don't generally want to use the mouse in Vim though as it takes my hands off the keyboard.
I just use 50j to go down and 50k to go up. Not exactly scrolling, but it works pretty well.
Make sure the terminal is xterm & not ansi in Terminal Menu > Preferences > Profiles > Advanced. I accidentally broke scrolling by changing the term type in a naive effort to get coloring to work over ssh.
Use gVim, which gives you a text editing environment in a window you can scroll. Terminal is not involved when using gVim.
I'm using xterm in X11 (XQuartz 2.3.4) and vim works very fine with mouse and also suport 256 colors.
Here is the ~/.Xresources I use to make my xterm nicer in X11:
XTerm*faceName: Lucida Sans Typewriter Regular
XTerm*faceSize: 9
XTerm*utf8: 1
xterm*saveLines: 1000
xterm*jumpScroll: true
!xterm*awaitInput: true
!xterm*multiScroll: true
XTerm*scrollBar: false
xterm*scrollbar*thickness: 16
xterm*rightScrollBar: true
XTerm*foreground: white
XTerm*background: grey10
!XTerm*background: black
XTerm*cursorColor: yellow
xterm*visualBell: false
xterm*loginShell: true
Little tips, to remove the bell sound in X11's xterm type this command:
xset b 0
I would recommend using iTerm - it has so many advantages over Terminal eg Mouse support, 256 colors, sensible copy and paste (auto-copy, word/url selection with double click, middle click paste)...
When using iTerm create a .vimrc file (if not already there) in your home folder and add the line:
:set mouse=a
Scrolling down in vim to view a file works after this.
