Every time I open my Terminal application at work it starts from a clean slate (e.g. it opens from the ~/ directory). But at home on my laptop my Terminal always remembers the last directory I was in (and all the commands on the screen) and displays them to me.
I'm trying to get this to happen when I'm at work but I can't find any information on it (I've no idea why or how my laptop managed to set itself to work that way?).
The only thing I've found out is that I can change the preferences so the Terminal executes a particular command when the app is started up, but that's not quite what I want (simply because I'm not sure what command I would run to get the Terminal to go to the directory I was looking at when I had the Terminal open last).
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Since you're using Lion, it should do that automatically.
You might have disabled the Resume functionality systemwide or in Terminal.
Make sure it's enabled systemwide. You can also try to manually enable it for Terminal:
defaults write com.apple.Terminal NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows -bool true

My macOS terminal is showing Process completed when I type any thing. I am not able to type or do anything on terminal (This effect my Android Studio and VsCode terminal also they just open close in an second) So all issue are causing with this terminal I try every thing restore profile etc nothing is working for me.
But one thing is strange here when I restart my Mac terminal works fine but after I work on android studio or vscode with Mac terminal (Not there default terminal because they are not working) After 1 hour same happen as I say before and as in screenshot.
On different questions solutions was to type /bin/bash -x on terminal but I can't even type single character on this.
I am finding solution for this from 1 week and not able to find any thing I need to restart me laptop every 1 hour to work.
I am using BigSur with M1 processor.
Also it was working fine before but I work on Flutter so I have set path and run commands like
Run: nano ~/.zshrc
Add: export PATH=[PATH_TO_FLUTTER_GIT_DIRECTORY]/flutter/bin:$PATH
Run: source ~/.zshrc
And some bash commands to set path.
When running as a normal user, if you click on Netbeans->Preferences the window will open, shake, flash, freeze, and not let you do anything. The same thing happens with the Tools->Plugins. Running as super user it works perfectly. I have cleaned up all NetBeans related files. You can see it in action here.
It's useless as it is.
Ive found a partial workaround for this.
You need to setup the OS not to open new documents as new tab.
Go to the Apple Menu, select System Preferences > General. In the Prefer tabs when opening documents option, select "never".
Then restart Netbeans and try to open Netbeans preferences.
If you don't want a system-wide change, you can set the following setting. It should affect only applications running on JDK, run this in terminal:
defaults write net.java.openjdk.cmd "AppleWindowTabbingMode" never
It turns out that is a problem related to the AppleWindowTabbingMode
settings. I was using "always", since I want that apps like Finder and
other use new tabs rather than new windows.
This settings worked fine with NetBeans since Catalina. So I reset the
behavior to "never" only for NetBeans, with the follow command
defaults write net.java.openjdk.cmd "AppleWindowTabbingMode" never
With this setting NetBeans works finally fine!
Sources: apparently, it's a bug, please see here and corresponding JDK bug.
Also, it's not a problem with NetBeans only. It affects AndroidStudio also see here for example:
If you choose to run it as root, here's what I use:
#!/bin/bash
APP=/Applications/NetBeans/Apache\ NetBeans\ 12.2.app/Contents/MacOS/netbeans
COMPLAINT="Netbeans must run as %U because of bugs in the UI implementation :{"
PROMPT=$(echo -e "${COMPLAINT}\nPlease enter your login password for privilege escalation:")
sudo -p "${PROMPT}" -b -s "${APP}"
This lets me limp by with a recent JDK (15.0.2) which placates the corresponding NetBeans (12.2, as you can see from the code). The -b option tells sudo to run the app in the background, which in this case means simply that the Terminal in which you ran this script will not be polluted with JDK whinging about "illegal reflective access".
I feel like an idiot asking this because I have it working on my iMac at work but can't get it working on my Air.
I have installed the latest version but can only get it to run in a terminal window, not the GUI which I prefer.
Google has plenty of "how to run MacVim in terminal" results but I'm not finding how to do it the other way round and can't remember what I did on the work machine.
If you can get to it in the terminal:
:h mvim
If you are able to double-click the MacVim.app Application Bundle and launch as per a normal Mac Application, but you are not able to run
mvim
in a terminal, it seems like mvim may not be in your $PATH. However, if you are not able to open the MacVim.app at all, then it sounds like a bad compile.
mvim -g should open a GUI window, if that's possible. (It might not be if something is wonky with your bootstrap namespaces, which is where reattach-to-user-namespace comes in handy.)
mvim decides whether or not to call vim with -g or not based on whether there's a non-empty SSH_CONNECTION environment variable. If that variable has content, then it assumes you're ssh'd into a server, and the GUI window wouldn't do you any good, so it doesn't provide the -g argument.
You can preemptively pass -g yourself, and then mvim's antics won't matter.
I folowed your guide, but ran into a problem in vi, after installation the statusbar was only visible in the help window of macvim.
I found a solution in the official documentation;
https://powerline.readthedocs.io/en/latest/troubleshooting.html#vim-issues
I had to add the following to my .vimrc
set laststatus=2
-bash: sencha: command not found
I just spent a few hours trying to make this Sencha Cmd works on my MacBook, but just couldn't. I uninstalled a previous version and just couldn't get it to work again. I always get the
-bash: sencha: command not found
error. I did try everything in this post, without success.... I even get an error when I call
.bash_profile
stating that it's not found... Do you have any idea what could be the problem ?
I'm fairly new to the Linux command world so I might miss a point here. Maybe I might use "sudo" to be granted acces to bask_profile ?
EDIT : I got it working for the current bash session. I position myself at the user root (~/) and call ". .bash_profile"(the space is important here). BUT... it only works for the current session. As soon as I close Terminal and reopen it, I loose everything :-(
OK, just so you know, I managed to fix the damn thing be opening and editing the ".bash_profile" file in a text editor (TextMate for me). This is an hidden file, but you can configure your Mac to show those files in Finder. The file is located at your user's root. It is quite annoying to have to spend hour messing in path and environment variables in 2013... Installer should do those things and reports error if something happens in the install process.
this is the first time I ask on stackoverflow because I can't find the answer anywhere. I use emacs to write all my code and I just switched from ubuntu to mac os. One problem has been bothering me: How could you open emacs window from mac terminal just like you would open firefox window from terminal on Linux system? I know the way it works for Linux system is that, whenever you type a command from terminal, the terminal search for the binary in you PATH and execute it. Is it the case for Mac that you can only open applicaiton in window form under "/Application" directory and all binaries opened from terminal are in non-window form? Big thanks!!
The pre-installed Emacs that comes with OS X is built without the GUI. Hence
$ emacs # in the shell/terminal
will NOT open a graphical window, and instead will open up the text/terminal version instead. Note that this version (installed at /usr/bin/emacs) is also old, and is at 22.1.1 in Mountain Lion.
To get the behavior you desire (and also get the latest version of Emacs as a bonus), you can download the latest Emacs build. This is available at various places, including http://emacsforosx.com/.
Most of these pre-built Emacs are installed under /Applications, and in order to invoke from the terminal, you will need to specify the full path to the binary, which usually is:
/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs
You can create a simple alias to this binary in your .bashrc as:
alias emacs=/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs
and then invoke emacs in its full glory from the command line.
I just tried
/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app/Contents/MacOS/Terminal &
and it did open a new window just fine.
OS X 10.7.4 here.
EDIT: Indeed if I try:
open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app
No new terminal window is opened
But,
open --new /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app
works also, and is probably better than my first option because the job is not tied to the terminal you started the new terminal with.
First, download a Mac OS/X emacs build from here: http://emacsformacosx.com/
Second, once it's installed, you can:
Open it from the command line with open -a emacs
Set it to run server mode in your .emacs init, and then at the
command line type emacsclient foo for file foo.
I'd recommend either getting emacs via fink, or going to here: http://emacsformacosx.com/
This will allow you to install a local version of emacs that runs through the X server, and thus has the full GUI interface.
not sure if u're looking for something like this
open /path/to/some.app
