**Too many iTerms. Too many tabs. Too many agents "helping" you at once.**
|
|
12
|
+
|
|
13
|
+
GenAI made you think you can do 20 things at once. It was wrong, but you did it anyway and you're still doing it, and now you've got 20 terminal windows and no idea which one's stuck waiting on you. `osascript` is too slow to keep up, steals your focus every time it tries, and nags you for an Automation permission it already has. iterm2_ruby skips all of that: it talks to iTerm2 directly, so you can actually navigate the mess you made -- ~20x faster, no focus theft, plus real-time event notifications so you don't have to go looking in the first place.
|
|
14
|
+
|
|
15
|
+
## Real-World Usage
|
|
16
|
+
|
|
17
|
+
Four things it's doing today, in real projects:
|
|
18
|
+
|
|
19
|
+
**Jump to any running session instantly, by project name.** No window-hunting:
|
|
20
|
+
|
|
21
|
+
```ruby
|
|
22
|
+
ITerm2.connect { |c| c.raise_by_title(project_name) }
|
|
23
|
+
```
|
|
24
|
+
|
|
25
|
+
No stolen focus, no AppleScript delay -- just the right window, front and center.
|
|
26
|
+
|
|
27
|
+
**A live dashboard across every open terminal.** One call returns every window, tab, and session, enriched with project name, status, cwd, and PID:
|
|
28
|
+
|
|
29
|
+
```ruby
|
|
30
|
+
data = ITerm2.connect { |c| c.topology_for_aggregator }
|
|
31
|
+
```
|
|
32
|
+
|
|
33
|
+
This feeds a real-time "mission control" view over a whole fleet of sessions.
|
|
34
|
+
|
|
35
|
+
**Split a pane and pop a live browser preview next to your code:**
|
|
36
|
+
|
|
37
|
+
```ruby
|
|
38
|
+
ITerm2.connect do |c|
|
|
39
|
+
c.split_pane(guid, vertical: true, profile_name: "Web Browser",
|
|
40
|
+
profile_customizations: { "Initial URL" => url })
|
|
41
|
+
end
|
|
42
|
+
```
|
|
43
|
+
|
|
44
|
+
**Spawn a background task in its own window, no permission dialogs:**
|
|
45
|
+
|
|
46
|
+
```bash
|
|
47
|
+
iterm2ctl create window # => session E8F2...
|
|
48
|
+
iterm2ctl send "run-task.sh" --session E8F2...
|
|
49
|
+
```
|
|
50
|
+
|
|
51
|
+
AppleScript automation triggers a macOS Automation prompt every time. This doesn't.
|
|
52
|
+
|
|
53
|
+
## Installation
|
|
54
|
+
|
|
55
|

```bash
|
|
56

+
gem install iterm2_ruby
|
|
57
|
+
```
|
|
58
|
+
|
|
59
|
+
Or add to your Gemfile:
|
|
60
|
+
|
|
61
|
+
```ruby
|
|
62
|
+

94
|
+

100
|
+
# List all sessions
|
|
101
|
+
sessions = ITerm2.topology
|
|
102
|
+
sessions.each { |s| puts "#{s[:session_id]} - #{s[:title]}" }
|
|
103
|
+
|
|
104
|
+
# Send text to a session
|
|
105
|
+
ITerm2.send_text(session_id, "ls -la\n")
|
|
106
|
+
|
|
107
|
+
# Read screen contents
|
|
108
|
+
screen = ITerm2.read_screen(session_id)
|
|
109
|
+
puts screen[:lines].join("\n")
|
|
110
|
+
|
|
111
|
+
# Raise a tab by title
|
|
112
|
+
ITerm2.raise_by_title("my-project")
|
|
113
|
+
|
|
114
|
+
# Get current focus
|
|
115
|
+
focus = ITerm2.focus
|
|
116
|
+
puts focus[:active_session]
|
|
117
|
+
```
|
|
118
|
+
|
|
119
|
+
### Persistent client (reuses connection)

|
120
|
+

125
|
+
# List sessions
|
|
126
|
+
sessions = client.topology
|
|
127
|
+
session_id = sessions.first[:session_id]
|
|
128
|
+
|
|
129
|
+
# Get detailed session info
|
|
130
|
+
info = client.session_info(session_id)
|
|
131
|
+
puts "CWD: #{info[:cwd]}, PID: #{info[:pid]}"
|
|
132
|
+
|
|
133
|
+
# Watch for focus changes
|
|
134
|
+
client.on_focus_change do |event|
|
|
135
|
+
puts "Focus changed: #{event}"
|
|
136
|
+
end
|
|
137
|
+
|
|
138
|
+
sleep # keep connection open for notifications
|
|
139
|

## How It Works
|
|
244
|
+
|
|
245
|
+
1. **Authentication**: One-time osascript call gets a cookie+key from iTerm2
|
|
246
|
+
2. **Connection**: WebSocket to iTerm2's local API (Unix socket or TCP port 1912)
|
|
247
|
+
3. **Protocol**: Google Protocol Buffers for message encoding (binary, fast)
|
|
248
|
+
4. **Notifications**: Background dispatch thread routes events to registered callbacks
|
|
249
|
+
|
|
250
|
+
No external WebSocket gems required -- framing is hand-rolled per RFC 6455.
