how to get multiple column layout for terminal on mac?
As an alternative for multi desktops:
- Open two terminal windows
- Toggle one of the terminal windows fullscreen
- Activate 'Mission Control' (F3 or swipe up with 3 fingers)
- Drag the second terminal window onto the first's fullscreen space
OS X terminal doesn't have the option to split panes vertically. It is only possible to split horizontally.
I recommend using iTerm2 on OS X. It has a lot of features missing in default terminal, including possibility to split windows both horizontally and vertically.
