Rama master · réplica de lectura del repositorio original.
Version 3.7.7 of iTerm2 was built on November 3,
2026.
New Features:
- `it2 session set-status` has a new --progress
option that starts or stops the tab’s progress
indicator for a program that reports through
hooks but does not draw the indicator itself.
The set_session_status Python API function
takes the same progress argument.
- The hook program for Claude Code and Codex is
now `it2 handle-agent-hook` (add --agent codex
for Codex), so the hook works wherever it2
does. Existing Claude Code installs keep
working; reinstalling the integration updates
the hook entries.
- `it2 session add-clipping` and
`archive-clippings` accept --tmux and
--tmux-pane, and every addressing option
accepts an empty value as “not given”, so a
script can pass all of them and let it2 pick.
- The Python API can now run JavaScript in a
browser session’s page and get the result
back with Session.async_eval_javascript, so a
script can read a page or fill in a form
without clicking on the screen. The first time
a script does this on a site, iTerm2 asks you
to allow it. You can review and change these
permissions, and those for loading URLs, in
Settings > General > Magic.
- You can hide a browser session’s toolbar so the
page fills the pane with Web > Show Toolbar, or
from the Python API with
Session.async_set_browser_toolbar_hidden.
- nushell is now a supported shell for shell
integration, including automatic loading and
SSH integration.
- Passwords saved in the Password Manager’s
Keychain storage can now be exported to a
passphrase-encrypted .iterm2passwords file and
imported on another Mac. Use Export Passwords…
and Import Passwords… in the Password Manager’s
settings menu, or double-click the file.
Settings > General > Export All Settings and
Data can also include them.
- When a host reached through SSH Integration
asks to use it2, you can now choose “Always
Allow This Host” so it is not asked again on
later connections. Review or remove these hosts
in Settings > General > Magic > API access
over ssh.
- The Claude Code integration can now be
installed on a host reached through SSH
Integration, so Claude Code running there
reports its status too. Choose iTerm2 > Install
Claude Code Integration from a session on that
host, including a tmux Integration pane there.
Uninstalling removes it from every host you are
connected to.
Improvements:
- Python API context menu items can be grouped
into submenus and shown only in sessions where
an expression is true, such as a user variable
your script sets. See ContextMenuProviderRPC’s
submenu and visible_when arguments.
- If you customized the Code Review system
prompt, iTerm2 offers to update it the next
time a review starts, so reviews work in tmux
and on remote hosts. It shows the changes
first, and changes nothing else in your prompt.
- Downloading a file or folder with “Download
using SSH Integration” is much faster. It
used to wait for each kilobyte before asking
for the next.
- The Python API now has type annotations, so
editors and type checkers such as mypy can
check scripts that use it.
- “Support basic HTML tags in tab titles” now
applies to pane title bars too, so <b>, <i>,
and <u> render as styled text there instead of
appearing literally. The window title shows the
text without the tags, including titles set by
a program or by tmux.
- In iTerm2 Buddy, you can now tap, scroll, and
type into a web browser session from your
phone, and use back, forward, reload, and an
address field. The phone’s keyboard comes up
when a text field on the page has focus.
Requires an up-to-date iTerm2 Buddy.
- On a host reached through SSH Integration, it2
is now a real command in ~/.iterm2/bin rather
than a shell function, so scripts, sh -c, and
tools such as Claude Code’s Bash tool can run
it, not just an interactive shell. Commands
that read standard input now receive it.
- On a host reached through SSH Integration, an
it2 command that names no session now acts on
the session it runs in rather than the focused
one.
- A command run on a host with it2ssh host
command, or by an SSH profile, can now use it2,
as an interactive shell there can.
- it2ssh now loads shell integration on the
remote host by default, whatever the current
profile’s Load Shell Integration Automatically
setting. Run it2ssh --no-shell-integration to
skip it. SSH profiles still follow their own
setting.
- it2 now works on a host reached through SSH
Integration when the shell is tcsh, and when
shell integration is not loaded there. Without
it iTerm2 copies nothing to the host, so it2
has to be installed there.
- The git status bar component now shows the
status of a repository on a host reached
through SSH Integration, by running git there.
It used to need it2git set up on the host.
- Shell integration now loads inside tmux,
including on a host you ssh to from a tmux
pane, so marks, the current directory and
host, and the git status work there. It used
to need the environment variable
ITERM_ENABLE_SHELL_INTEGRATION_WITH_TMUX. It
still skips itself in GNU screen.
- In a tmux Integration pane on a host reached
through SSH Integration, the git status bar
component and other features that depend on
the session’s host now work without shell
integration loaded in the pane.
- With it2git on a remote host, the git status
bar component now counts changes the same way
as for a repository on this Mac: every
untracked file counts, conflicts are not
counted as changes, and a detached HEAD shows
its full commit ID.
- In a tmux Integration session on a host reached
through SSH Integration, each pane now knows
which program is running in it. The tab shows
the job, the Jobs tool lists the pane’s
processes, and triggers that watch for a
program, such as entering the Claude Code
workgroup, work there.
- SSH Integration now paces output from the
remote host, so a program that prints a lot no
longer fills the connection’s buffers. Control-C
takes effect at once instead of after minutes
of buffered output on a slow link, and typing
stays responsive while output streams.
- On macOS 26, iTerm2 no longer lets macOS index
its window and tab titles for search. Titles
change constantly in a terminal, and indexing
each one used a lot of CPU in Spotlight’s
background processes.
Bug Fixes:
- Dragging a tab or pane no longer stutters
with many windows open when the tab bar is
always shown.
- The browser’s address field no longer runs
under the loading spinner while a page loads,
and returns to its full width afterward.
- Fixed more cases where a window could be made
wider but not narrower.
- If iTerm2 quits unexpectedly while tmux
integration is attached, and you switched to
another app at some point after attaching,
tmux integration resumes when iTerm2
relaunches with window restoration on.
Before, the session that ran tmux -CC could
show raw tmux output instead.
- If iTerm2 quits unexpectedly after you
detach from tmux integration, the session
that ran tmux -CC no longer gets tmux
commands typed into its shell when window
restoration brings it back.
- In an AI chat with an empty message field, the
“↩ to submit” hint no longer overlaps a long
placeholder.
- With KeePassXC as the browser password
manager, “Remember this password” for a
website’s sign-in dialog now saves the
password instead of failing with “Could not
save the password”.
- Hardened the handler for x-man-page: URLs so a
malicious URL can no longer be crafted to run
an unexpected command or make man render an
arbitrary local file. Man section and page
names are now checked against an allowlist of
characters, and a URL with disallowed
characters is rejected with a warning instead
of opening. Thanks to vin01 for finding this
vulnerability and to Gurpreet Shergill
(@giki-shergill) for reporting it.
- Dragging a split divider in a tmux window
now leaves the panes the way the drag showed
them. Before, a different divider could move,
or panes beside the divider could jump to
other sizes when the drag ended.
- Fixed a crash from a trigger in a Dynamic
Profile whose parameter has an unexpected
type, such as a list. A text parameter
written as a number, such as text to send, is
now used as text instead of being ignored.
- Shell > SSH > Disconnect now recovers an SSH
Integration session whose local it2ssh process
was killed, even while the remote host is
printing output. Previously the session
stopped showing output and ignored input.
Disconnect also works before advanced SSH
features have started, instead of saying it
can’t disconnect.
- After using tmux integration in an SSH
Integration session, ending ssh no longer
leaves the session ignoring typed text until
Return is pressed.
- Ending an SSH Integration session no longer
sometimes types YXV0b3BvbGw= into the local
shell, or leaves the tab unable to start
another it2ssh connection.
- A session no longer stops taking input when
it2ssh is run on a host that was itself
reached with it2ssh but lacks the Python that
advanced SSH features need.
- After quitting with SSH Integration sessions
open, relaunching with window restoration on
no longer types stray text, such as
cmVzZXQy, into the restored tabs’ new shells.
Likewise, when iTerm2 restarts after a crash
and an SSH Integration session’s ssh has
ended in the meantime, the restored session
no longer types cmVjb3Zlcg== into its shell
and then ignores input.
- A file fetched over SSH Integration with
Shell > ssh > Download Files… no longer stays
listed as downloading in the Downloads menu
after it finishes. Clear All in the Downloads
menu now removes finished SSH Integration
downloads, and their notification no longer
says “Upload finished”.
- With the Browser Plugin installed, “Download
using SSH Integration” in the context menu no
longer does nothing when the file can’t be
found on the remote host. It now shows a
failed download that says why.
- When you connect with it2ssh user@host or an
ssh:// URL, SSH Integration now records the
user and host separately. Before, it treated
all of “user@host” as the host name, which
showed up in the file panel and the Downloads
menu.
- Running tmux -CC in a session that is already
part of tmux integration, for example over
ssh, now explains that tmux integration can’t
be nested instead of silently doing nothing.
- it2ssh no longer leaves the terminal waiting
for Return when ssh fails before connecting,
such as for a host name that doesn’t resolve.
it2ssh now exits with ssh’s exit status.
- it2ssh no longer hangs when the host or
command contains non-ASCII text, such as
accented letters or emoji. If iTerm2 can’t
read the arguments, it now ends the
connection and explains why instead of
leaving the tab stuck.
- When SSH Integration loads shell integration
into a remote bash, the shell is now a login
shell, so aliases and functions defined in
~/.profile or ~/.bash_profile are available.
- The notification for a failed download or
upload now names the file and gives the
reason, instead of showing only an error such
as “File not found”. Canceling a transfer no
longer reports it as failed. An SSH
Integration transfer that fails because of
file or folder permissions now says so.
- Downloading a folder over SSH Integration now
tells you when files in it couldn’t be read
and were left out, instead of reporting
success with no mention of the missing files.
- An SSH Integration download that fails or is
stopped no longer leaves an empty or partial
hidden file in your Downloads folder. Stop
now takes effect right away even when the
connection has stalled.
- An SSH Integration download that can’t be
saved into your Downloads folder when it
finishes now reports that it failed, instead
of saying the download finished. One that
can’t be marked as downloaded from the
internet is deleted and reported as failed,
instead of staying listed as downloading.
- it2 session list and other it2 commands that
print names, paths or profile values no longer
show JSON escapes, such as \/dev\/ttys001 for a
tty.
- On a FreeBSD or OpenBSD host reached through
SSH Integration, sessions and the Jobs tool
showed an environment variable such as
VENDOR=unknown instead of the running program.
- it2ssh now runs a command given after the host
exactly as ssh does. Quotes in the command were
lost, and newlines, tabs and non-ASCII text
were mangled, so a command like
it2ssh host "grep 'a b' file" ran the wrong
thing.
- A custom command or SSH profile command that
contains a backslash or a double quote now
runs as written. Such commands used to reach
the shell broken when they ran in a login
shell, which SSH profiles always do.
- A tmux Integration pane whose server was not
yet known to be local when the pane opened
never learned which program it was running.
- Programs that turn on the Kitty keyboard
protocol and then request xterm’s
modifyOtherKeys, as Claude Code does, keep
the Kitty protocol, matching kitty. Before,
the request turned it off, so Command keys
stopped being reported.
- With the Minimal or Compact theme and no tab
bar at the top, the window buttons that appear
when you point at the window’s top-left corner
no longer cover a web browser’s back, forward,
and reload buttons, which made them impossible
to click. As with a status bar there, a small
arrow appears in the corner instead; click it
to show or hide the window buttons.
- Fixed hotkey windows with the Centered or
“Centered, No Title Bar” style returning to
their original size each time they were shown
after you resized them.
- Fixed several Python API bugs. Subscribing to
profile change notifications always failed,
Color.hex failed for colors read from a
profile, and items in nested submenus of
MainMenu could not be reached on Python 3.12
and earlier.
- Fixed Selection.async_get_string in the Python
API adding line breaks that copying the same
selection in iTerm2 leaves out.
- A program that sets the window or tab title
over and over no longer makes iTerm2 fall far
behind, run at full CPU for minutes, and grow
to gigabytes of memory.
- In an alert with a text field, such as the
one asking how many spaces to use when you
paste text with tabs, Cmd-A, Cmd-C, Cmd-V,
Cmd-X, and Cmd-Z now edit the text instead of
pressing a button. Also, two buttons in an
alert no longer share the same Cmd-key
shortcut.
- Fixed a memory leak where each AI request,
such as each AI chat message, left memory in
use until iTerm2 quit.
- Opening a file or link in a split pane while
a tmux integration tab is current now opens
it in a new tab. Before, it could take over
the tmux pane’s place, vanish without
running, or open a tmux shell pane without
the link.
- The SetWindowFrame escape sequence no longer
shrinks a window to nothing or moves it far
off screen when given bad values. Malformed
values are ignored, and the window now stays
between its minimum size and the size of your
displays, with part of it on a display.
- If a Python script that loads a URL in a
browser session gave up waiting while you
read the permission prompt, approving it
afterward no longer loads the URL.
- An AI chat set to Llama (Local) no longer
sends its messages to your cloud AI provider
when no Ollama model is available, for example
because Ollama isn’t running. It now shows an
error asking you to start Ollama. Naming the
chat and drawing its icon now also use the
chat’s own model instead of the default one.
- Copying part of a line that mixes
left-to-right and right-to-left text no
longer drops the space between a
left-to-right word and the right-to-left
text after it, which fused the two words.
- The file iTerm2 keeps next to its saved
window state (restorable-state.sqlite-wal)
no longer stays as large as the saved state
itself. With long scrollback it could use a
lot of disk.
- When settings load from a custom folder,
quitting no longer asks to copy settings to
the folder every time just because iTerm2
updated an older setting saved there.
- Pressing Cmd-Y (Edit > Engage Artificial
Intelligence) in the Cockpit’s composer no
longer crashes iTerm2. The menu item is now
disabled there.
- With SSH integration, starting the remote
shell, completing paths, and other requests
with several long arguments no longer
occasionally fail because the request was
split in two on the way to the remote host.
- In the minimal theme, a browser tab’s tint now
matches the page you just loaded. Before, it
showed the previous page’s background color
until the next page loaded.
- In the Cockpit’s composer, an @ followed by a
space no longer keeps the session picker open,
so Return inserts a newline instead of turning
the @ into a session chip. After Esc closes the
picker, it stays closed while you keep typing.
- Sending from the Cockpit after closing the tab
of one of its chosen sessions now sends to the
sessions that remain, names the closed one,
and removes its chip, instead of sending
nothing and showing an internal identifier.
- The Cockpit no longer covers alerts attached
to a terminal window, such as the Broadcast
Input confirmation, hiding their buttons.
- The Cockpit composer’s placeholder text is no
longer drawn twice when the panel is too
narrow to fit it on one line.
- In the Cockpit’s composer, Advanced Paste and
Open Command History, which did nothing there,
are now disabled, and its help no longer lists
them or AI lookup.
- Clicking the icon of the Current Directory,
Hostname, or Username status bar component
opens its menu again, as clicking its text
does.
- The folder icon in the Current Directory
status bar component can no longer be dragged
after its directory has been deleted.
- With debug logging on, a password typed into
a password field (for example, in the password
manager) no longer appears in the debug log.
- Fixed saving a window arrangement with “Save
to File with Contents…” and archiving a
session when the text contained hyperlinks,
underline colors, similar styling, or
right-to-left text. The arrangement file was
never written, and the session archive was
empty. If either kind of save fails, iTerm2
now reports an error. Issue 13143.
- Fixed a hang that could freeze iTerm2 with a
beachball when GPU rendering was on and the
system was under heavy load, for example from
memory pressure. Issue 13139.
- In the Claude Code Integration setup, clicking
Show on the Show Toolbelt step more than once
no longer darkens the window further with each
click.
- In tmux integration, showing timestamps beside
the text in one pane of a window split into
top and bottom panes no longer covers the end
of that pane’s lines and leaves an empty strip
at the right edge of the window.
- With the Minimal or Compact theme and the
Snippets tool enabled in the toolbelt, a window
could be made wider but not narrower. Issue
13118.
- When an app enables the Kitty keyboard
protocol and “Use the Caps Lock key to switch
to and from the last used Latin input source”
is on, tapping Caps Lock to switch input
sources no longer sends a malformed key report
that some apps read as Control-C. Holding it to
turn Caps Lock on or off now reports a Caps
Lock press and release. Issue 13136.
- The it2dl utility now works on systems where
bash is not in /bin, such as Raspberry Pi OS.
- With ligatures turned off, some fonts could
still draw “fi” as a ligature and leave a gap
after it, as in “confi g”. Issue 13133.
- Turning off “Show activity indicator” in
Settings > Appearance > Tabs now also hides
the tab’s spinner when a program reports
progress. Issue 13145.
- Installing Shell Integration with “Download
and Run Installer” installed outdated
scripts, so the warning that this account’s
Shell Integration scripts are out of date
kept coming back. Issue 13155.
- Fixed Shell Integration for xonsh, which was
installed but never took effect. Installing
it again fixes an existing installation.
- Unpinning a pinned tab that was not the
rightmost pinned tab, or one in a tab group, no
longer breaks the tab bar (missing tabs, missing
group headers, highlight on the wrong tab).
Issue 13154.
- Choosing the Make Hyperlink trigger action
with interpolated string parameters turned on
now fills in a working URL,
https://\(matches[0]). It previously filled in
https://\(match0), which refers to a variable
that doesn’t exist.
- Fixed a bug where a trigger whose interpolated
parameter refers to its match, as in
\(matches[0]), could make output stall, and
with tmux integration could freeze every tmux
window. Triggers that use only matches[N] and
line no longer wait on the session.
- Fixed Kitty graphics images cropped to part of
their height showing the wrong part of the
image when GPU rendering is on. Multi-row
images forwarded by some terminal multiplexers
appeared with their rows in reverse order.
Issue 13146.
- Pressing an arrow key or Tab while composing
text with an input method now finishes the
character and performs the key in one press, as
Return already did.
- Opening a web browser session in iTerm2 Buddy
now shows the web page instead of a black
screen.
- iTerm2 Buddy no longer connects slowly or
keeps saying your Mac is busy while the Mac’s
displays are asleep.
- An AI chat started from a web browser session
in iTerm2 Buddy is now linked to it as a web
browser, not a terminal.
- When AI chat asks to run a tool that can’t run
in the linked session, the chat now reports
the error and continues instead of waiting
forever.
- Window > Lock Location and the tab menu’s
Rename Tab… item and “Tab Color:” label are
now translated instead of always appearing in
English.
- The “AI-generated name” choice in Settings >
Profiles > General > Title is now translated.
- it2 session list no longer shows a session’s
tty as \/dev\/ttys000 or its name with
backslash escapes. It prints the plain values.
- it2 session set-var now sets a plain value
such as hello. Before, it reported success
but set nothing unless the value was quoted
JSON.
- After window restoration, a tab whose session
had a status (for example, one set with OSC
21337) shows it again in the tab bar, not
only in the Session Status tool.
- A trigger written by hand in a Dynamic Profile
no longer forgets its state when the profile
reloads, so an Instant trigger no longer fires
a second time on the same line.
- Uninstalling the Claude Code integration no
longer says an empty settings.json couldn’t be
parsed.
- Installing the Claude Code integration when
~/.claude/settings.json is a broken symlink no
longer leaves the new settings.json marked
executable.
- The Internet-Free shell integration install no
longer hangs when the shell you’re using isn’t
your login shell (for example, tcsh started
from zsh). It installs for the shell you’re
using.
- An AI chat using a local Ollama model no
longer sends its messages to your cloud AI
provider after that model is removed from
Ollama. It now shows an error, and you can
pick another local model for the chat.
- An alert shown again by “Permanently Forget
Saved Selection” no longer presses a button
when you type a plain letter. Its shortcuts
need Cmd, as they did the first time.
- Cmd-H, Cmd-Q, Cmd-W, and Cmd-M no longer press
a button in an alert whose button happens to
start with that letter, such as Help.
- After you change a window’s style in Window >
Window Style, for example to No Title Bar, the
window keeps keyboard focus, so you can keep
typing without clicking it first.
- After Swap With Session between a tab with
one pane and a split tab, each pane now shows
or hides its title bar to match its new tab.
- When tmux windows open as tabs in the
attaching window, attaching from a hotkey
window no longer moves the hotkey window to
where tmux last had a window, often mostly off
screen.
- A profile setting chosen from a pop-up menu,
such as the progress bar color scheme, now
shows its default instead of a blank menu when
the profile holds a value the menu lacks.
- “Prefer integrated to discrete GPU” in
Advanced GPU Settings is now disabled on a Mac
with only one GPU, where it has no effect.
- When pasting text with tabs, the prompt that
offers to convert them to spaces now puts the
cursor in its number-of-spaces field, so you
can type a tab width without clicking first.
- Shell > Close (⌘W) now closes the Cockpit when
it is the key window. Before, the menu item
was disabled there.
- Advanced Paste now counts lines correctly.
Before, text whose newlines were converted to
carriage returns was reported as one line, and
a trailing newline was counted as an extra
line.
- After you back out of the password manager
from a website’s sign-in prompt in a browser
session, “Remember this password” is no
longer ticked unless you ticked it.
- Session.async_move_to_new_tab() and
async_move_to_new_window() in the Python API
now return None for a tmux session instead of
raising a JSON decoding error.
- Calling Tab.async_update_layout() from the
Python API without changing any sizes no
longer shrinks the tab’s panes and window by
a cell each time.
- The banner shown when several nested SSH
integration sessions end at once no longer
ends with two periods.
- The warning shown before opening an untrusted
arrangement no longer counts a session’s
command twice.
- Typing quickly after a “Press any key to
dismiss” message, such as the one shown when
a program tries to clear scrollback, no
longer loses the keys typed while the message
slides away. Only the first key dismisses it.
- With the Minimal theme, the git branch item in
a workgroup’s toolbar draws its ahead and
behind arrows in the toolbar’s text color
instead of black on a dark terminal
background.
- In Low Power Mode, status bar graphs such as
CPU Utilization move once a second instead of
animating continuously.
- After a screen lock ends password manager
authentication, the trigger editor’s “Open
Password Manager…” action no longer lists
saved account names until you authenticate
again.
- Turning on generative AI while Companion
Device Settings shows a failed pairing no
longer erases the error and the QR code.
- With Focus Follows Mouse, returning the
pointer to a pane whose find field had focus
no longer selects the whole query, so the next
key you type doesn’t replace it.
- With Focus Follows Mouse and “…even to views
like Search or Composer” on, the status bar’s
search field now takes focus when the pointer
moves over it, like the find bar does.
- The donation link in the Settings and Edit
Session title bars no longer truncates the
window title.
- In the Add/Edit Manual AI Model sheet, the
API key menu is no longer too narrow to show
“Automatic (none for a local endpoint)”.
- In Settings > Keys > Hotkey, the “App
Hotkey:” and “Open Quickly Hotkey:” labels no
longer run under the controls beside them.
- The AI chat’s find bar no longer squeezes its
search field to nothing in the inline chat or
a narrow chat window. When space is short it
hides the search mode menu and the match count
instead.
- Closing the AI chat’s find bar with Escape now
returns focus to the message field, so what
you type next is no longer lost.
- Test Connection in the AI model editor can now
be stopped while it runs. Before, a test of an
unreachable server could take many minutes.
- AI network errors now read “HTTP request
failed: …” instead of a broken sentence, and
errors from a self-hosted model name its
server instead of “Unknown Platform”.
- Test Connection in the AI model editor now
rejects custom headers that are not valid, as
Save does, instead of leaving them out and
reporting success.
- The AI Usage toolbar item no longer shows
“Unreadable usage data” when Claude Code’s
output contains color codes or other control
characters.
- Changing an AI chat permission from the info
menu now updates the permission buttons shown
in the chat right away.
- In an orchestration chat, the notice shown
when mentioning a session now shows names with
underscores correctly.
- AI command suggestions no longer repeat a
directory you already typed in the filename
they insert (for example, “rm logs/logs/
error.log”).
- AI models on Azure OpenAI in Azure Government
(.azure.us) and Azure China (.azure.cn) now
send their API key the way Azure expects.
- Look Up (Ctrl-Cmd-D) on a right-to-left line
now highlights the word where it is drawn and
shows its definition next to it, instead of
over blank cells at the far side of the line.
- With the GPU renderer off, underlines and
strikethroughs on right-to-left text are now
drawn under the text they belong to instead
of a few cells to the right.
- With the GPU renderer off, Devanagari and
other scripts with vowel signs written before
their consonant draw the sign in the right
place again: क्षत्रिय no longer shows ि after त्र.
- In Copy Mode, the cursor on a right-to-left
line is now drawn on the character it is on,
instead of in the blank area on the other side
of the line.
- A scroll region set by a program that is
still running when iTerm2 quits unexpectedly
is kept when the session is restored, so the
program’s output no longer scrolls the whole
screen.
- Undo Close of a maximized floating pane now
brings it back maximized, and unmaximizing it
returns it to where it was before.
- Docking a floating pane by dragging it onto a
pane with Control held now keeps keyboard focus
in the docked pane when other floating panes
are open.
- In Swap With Session, pointing at a floating
pane no longer also highlights the pane under
it as a swap target.
- In tmux integration, resizing a floating pane
with View > Restore Text and Session Size or
the Python API now resizes it in tmux too. It
used to leave the pane blank or out of sync
with tmux.
- Window > Arrangements > Change Profile in
Arrangement now works for a floating pane
restored from a saved arrangement.
- Hidden floating panes no longer count toward
the number of panes that turns off the GPU
renderer in a tab.
- In tmux integration, a floating pane over pane
%0 is no longer drawn over a different pane
while Find > Filter is open.
- A pane in a Workgroup can no longer be turned
into a floating pane by dragging it onto a
floating pane in another tab.
- In tmux integration, the ReportCellSize,
ReportWindowFrame, and ReportScreenFrames
escape sequences now get a reply.
- With AI command suggestions on, a filename
row in the composer’s suggestion list no
longer shows extra backslashes before
spaces and other special characters.
- With Archive On Closure on, closing a pane in
a tmux integration window no longer saves an
archive of it that could not be restored.

Directory status bar component when its
directory can’t be dragged (for example, on a
remote host) no longer opens the component’s
menu when you release the mouse.

Contents Restored” banner, the shell’s output
now starts right below the banner instead of
after a blank row when the cursor had been in
the middle of a line.
- Resizing panes with Tab.async_update_layout()
in the Python API now gives each pane the size
you asked for. A pane used to come up a column
or row short and the window shrank a little
each time.
- With the GPU renderer off, selecting part of
an Arabic or Persian word, or a find match
inside one, no longer breaks the letters’
joining at the edge of the highlight.
- it2 app get-focus, it2 profile list and it2
profile show no longer print names, fonts and
badge text with backslash escapes, such as a
profile named a/b shown as a\/b.
- Kitty graphics placeholder cells that show a
cropped part of an image now draw that part.
Before, a crop could draw nothing, or a strip
of the neighboring part of the image could
appear at its edge.
- An SSH Integration session restored after
relaunching iTerm2 no longer hangs when its

a local server) no longer sends its messages
to OpenAI after you remove or rename that
model. It now shows an error.
- VoiceOver now reads the Profiles window’s
New Floating Pane button as “New Floating

special characters can no longer inject script
or markup into the browser’s page-load error
page.

errors, the alert now gives the right number
of additional errors in the log. It counted
each bad file twice.
- With Focus Follows Mouse on, if you move the
pointer into another split pane while a sheet
such as Edit Tab Title is open, that pane now
gets focus when the sheet closes. Before, it
stayed with the original pane until the
pointer left and came back.

longer come back after launching iTerm2 on
another Mac that shares your settings.
- Changing your AI models in Settings when you
used a single custom AI model no longer drops
the custom headers you set up for it.
- The AI Usage toolbar item’s problem report no
longer fills the screen with the output of a
usage command that printed too much, which
left its buttons out of reach.
- Searching in the AI Chats window no longer
crashes iTerm2 when the search finds a match.
- The setting and menu item pickers in the key

units in your language instead of English.

“No source available.”
- When you change the theme, an open browser
tab now switches pages that have light and
dark versions to the matching one instead of
keeping the old look until you open a new tab.
- In some languages, the shell integration
installer no longer cuts off the titles of
its install choice buttons or its Skip,
Cancel, and Continue buttons.
- In Russian, the shell integration installer
no longer cuts off its Preview Command
button.

opened from a link now shows the context
menu.

link, find, copy on select, hovered links,
autofill, the password manager, and named
marks now work on that tab instead of the
tab that opened it.
- In AI chat, if you send a new message instead
of answering a request to run a command, the
AI is no longer told that iTerm2 restarted and
invited to run the command again.
- With the kitty keyboard protocol reporting
all keys, a dead key followed by a key it does
not combine with now reports the dead key and
then the second key, instead of the second key
twice.
- In the Minimal theme, a window opened while
iTerm2 is running now shows the profile’s
subtitle in its title bar instead of only
after the window is resized.
- When settings load from a custom folder and
are saved manually, the red “!” in the
Settings title bar now goes away after you
click Save Now.
- Importing a script archive whose signing
certificate is damaged now shows an error
instead of crashing iTerm2.
- Undo Close of a floating pane now puts it
back at its old place among the other floating
panes, so a maximized one no longer comes back
in front of and hiding the others.
- Help > GPU Renderer Availability now explains
why GPU rendering is off in a complete
sentence.
- Cmd-hover and Cmd-click now find URLs on
right-to-left lines that run up to a pane
divider, such as in a tmux split without tmux
integration.
- Cmd-hover now underlines a URL that ends in
right-to-left text wherever the pointer is on
it, instead of leaving the previous URL
underlined.
- Command Info no longer shows a negative
running time such as “0:-1.999” for a command
that finishes quickly.
- The context menu of a tab group’s label now
matches the window’s light or dark appearance,
like a tab’s context menu, when it differs
from the system’s.
- With HTML tab titles on, “&” and “<”
in a title are now shown as “&” and “<” even
when the title has no bold, italic, or
underline tags.
- In Settings > Pointer, “…even to views like
Search or Composer” is now dimmed when Focus
Follows Mouse is off from the moment the pane
opens, not only after toggling Focus Follows
Mouse.
- With the Settings window in front of a
terminal window, Edit > Find > Find… now
focuses the Settings search field instead of
opening the find bar in the terminal behind it.
- Command Info’s Output size no longer counts
the next prompt or the command typed at it,
and is no longer too large for a command that
has scrolled into history.
- Command Info’s Output size no longer counts
the “%” marker and padding zsh adds after
output that doesn’t end in a newline.
- After Session.async_split_pane() in the Python
API, calling Tab.async_update_layout() without
changing any sizes no longer grows the
original pane back to its old width.

code block at the end of a reply now shows as
code with a copy button instead of as large
text or with a stray closing ```.

now shows a globe icon instead of a terminal
icon, both in the message field and in sent
messages.
- The Internet-Free shell integration install
no longer sometimes hangs while installing
the utilities, waiting at a “> ” prompt.
- The Internet-Free shell integration install
for bash could finish without adding the line
that loads shell integration to your
.profile or .bash_profile.
- The Internet-Free shell integration install
no longer reports that it installed the
utilities when they failed to unpack, no
longer garbles them on a busy computer, and
no longer types them into the shell as
commands when the ~/.iterm2 folder is not
writable.
- Canceling the Internet-Free shell integration
install while it sends the utilities now
stops sending them right away instead of a
minute or more later. Canceling a step or
clicking Send Again now returns you to your
own shell instead of leaving you inside the
installer’s helper shells at a “>> ” prompt,
even when your shell is slow to start them.
If you are still in one when you try again,
the installer says so instead of reporting
that you use bash.
- An scp download that asks for a password no
longer hangs if you open the Password Manager
and close it without choosing a password.
- An upload over SSH Integration no longer
overwrites a remote file of the same name when
iTerm2 could not check whether one exists, for
example because of a permission error or a
connection problem. The upload now fails with
an error instead.
- When an administrator turns off generative AI,
iTerm2 no longer uses Apple Intelligence for
AI chat, AI tab titles, or the command safety
check.
- The Internet-Free shell integration install
no longer unpacks the utilities into the
current folder when it can’t open the
~/.iterm2 folder, as when a file has that
name. It says they were not installed.
- Search the Web for Selection now finds text
that contains a plus sign. Before, “c++” was
searched for as “c” followed by spaces.
- The “Learn more.” links on the first page of
the shell integration installer now use the
same font as the text around them.

completion the composer shows for a file name
with a space or other special character is
now escaped, so accepting it gives a working
command.
- The browser’s View Source now highlights
attribute values.
- With SSH Integration, the Composer now
suggests remote file names when the remote
host has Python 3.7 or 3.8.
- With SSH Integration, a remote request that
fails unexpectedly, such as a file operation,
now reports an error instead of never
finishing.
- With SSH Integration, asking for an immediate
update of the remote job list, as the Job
status bar component can, no longer ends the
integration for that session.
- With SSH Integration to a Mac, output that a
remote command printed just before it exited
could be lost.
- With SSH Integration, ending a connection
while a remote file search was running could
leave iTerm2’s helper program running on the
remote host.
- With SSH Integration, deleting a remote
symbolic link to a folder now deletes the link
instead of failing.
- With SSH Integration, iTerm2 now reads the
remote PATH correctly when it contains runs of
spaces or wildcard characters, and when the
remote login shell is one iTerm2 doesn’t
recognize.
- With SSH Integration, remote files and folders
whose names contain non-ASCII characters, such
as accented letters, can now be downloaded,
deleted, renamed, and otherwise changed.
Before, they were reported as missing.
- With SSH Integration, restoring a session that
had used ssh to reach a further host now works
when that ssh command has non-ASCII characters.
- With SSH Integration, non-ASCII text that
iTerm2 reads from the remote host, such as a
remote PATH containing accented letters, is no
longer garbled.
- With SSH Integration, after iTerm2 restarts
or recovers a connection, it no longer waits
for the remote host to print something before
remote features start working again.
- Answering Always to “Close tmux windows after
detaching?” no longer closes sessions that did
not ask, such as the tmux session itself.
- Announcements in narrow panes are legible: when
there is no room beside the buttons, the
buttons go on a row below the text.
- Shell > ssh > Download Files… now lets you
choose any file. Before, it only allowed file
types that the AI provider accepts as
attachments.
- Installing the iTerm2 utility scripts on Linux
no longer prints tar warnings or leaves ._
files in ~/.iterm2.
- When a session’s program ends and iTerm2 offers
to restart it, short output such as a custom
command’s is no longer hidden behind the offer.
- The Downloads and Uploads menus now show
their translated title in the menu bar, and
the size of each file (such as “1.2 MB of
20 MB”) is now translated.
- Answering No to “Allow Terminal-Initiated
Download?” (for example, for it2dl) no longer
fills the terminal with the file’s encoded
contents. The same goes for declining to
display a file inline.
- iTerm2 no longer crashes or stops drawing
terminal contents if a display reports a
refresh rate of 0.
- Fixed a hang of about a second each time
Dynamic Profiles were reloaded when there were
hundreds of them. Issue 13174.
- Choosing Paste as Text for a pasted or dropped
file and then answering the paste confirmation
no longer freezes the window.
- Some apps that ask to be told about mouse
movement, such as those built with Lanterna,
received clicks but not movement. Issue 13184.
