iTerm2 Integrations

Get more out of iTerm2 terminal emulator

Description

iTerm2 it a macOS terminal emulator. It supports several ANSI escape codes that are bespoke to iTerm2.

Murex can detect if it is running on iTerm2 and utilise those exclusive ANSI escape codes, so you don’t have to remember different ways of working with different terminal emulators.

Opening Images

Using open, you can render an image directly in the terminal. Normally that would be a blocky “pixellated” representation using block characters. But if you’re running iTerm2, Murex will automatically switch to iTerm2’s ANSI escape sequences to render those images beautifully.

For example:

open https://murex.rocks/git-autocomplete.png
opening an image in Kitty
