I am getting a grey/white overlay when using commands that take up the entire terminal like nmon and bmon. The first image is iterm2 and the second is the base macos terminal app, both running nmon.
It is not the transparency settings as I have already disabled those, not sure what setting to change to fix this.
How can I configure PhpStorm to use the "non-native" fullscreen mode? I'd like PhpStorm to be fullscreen (without the macOS top menu bar, etc), in the same window (without creating a new window that I have to scroll between).
The terminal for macOS iTerm2 have this setting. You can choose to remove the tick from "Native full screen windows". When this tick is removed, the fullscreen mode will simply take out all space in the window, without creating a new separate window.
Native fullscreen example
Notice how a new separate "window" is created called "PhpStorm"
Non-native fullscreen example
Notice how theres still one window called "Desktop". The iTerm window fills out the whole screen though.
the only way you can do it at the moment is by adjusting the dock in mac to hide menu automatically and then spread the editor to wider and higher setting
click right on the dock in mac and goto settings and hide menu works for me
i am suffering from same issue lol after i saw iterm2 :P
I recently downloaded the new Windows Terminal Preview, mainly for the tabs feature! However, when I had a lot of tabs open, I can't seem to find a way to scroll through the tabs when they start to go off the screen without closing out of other tabs first.
Any ideas? Thanks.
Under Linux, in gnome-terminal, you can 'scroll' through the tabs with the mouse-wheel; position it on a tab and start wheeling. It might work for you as well -- you might want to try it.
El Capitan (?finally) provides a mechanism called Split View to Have two apps side-by-side in full screen mode.
I want to know if there exists, or how I'd go about implementing, a keyboard shortcut to switch/swap the panes while in Split View.
That is to say that the intended behaviour trigger is to take the left-pane and make it the right-pane and take the right-pane and make it the left-pane.
There is no keyboard shortcut for doing what you have stated, but u can just drag the left-pane towards the right side with you mouse on the menu bar.
Hope this helps!
Here is another partial solution. If you split your screen between two windows of the same program, e.g. Safari, then Cmd+` (backtick) will toggle between the two.
Caveats and Special Cases:
If for some reason this does not work, you probably don't have this shortcut enabled. The answer at https://superuser.com/a/187072 explains how to do this.
This was tested on High Sierra, but should work just the same on El Capitan, and so on.
When using split view for two terminal windows you can split between them with cmd + left/rigt arrow. I have not figured out a way to switch between windows when using split view with other applications though.
Also, if it is two different applications you can switch between them using cmd + tab
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.
