Setting custom Terminal application for quick commands

[sutterseba]

Hi.

 

Sorry if this is a duplicate or out of place here, I just have a quick question that I wasn't able to answer myself.

 

I'm planning to buy the powerpack but first need to know whether it's possible to change the default terminal application to iTerm2. Quickly executing commands with the `> ...` Prefix would be amazing -- but useless if it only supports the default macOS Terminal. Is there a direct way to change the default or is there another way to set up something similar through a workflow?

 

I can't try this stuff out since I don't have a license yet.

 

Thanks for your help! :)

It is, quite trivially.

@sutterseba Yes, you can use iTerm 2 - it's a popular alternative.

 

Under the Features > Terminal preferences, you can set the application to Custom and use the script here instead:

Great, thanks for the quick replies!

 

Time to buy, I guess...
