On: Little known features of iTerm2

[shabbyrobe]

iTerm2 is fantastic! It can be a bit CPU hungry but you get a stack of mod cons out of the bargain.

There are tons of proprietary escape codes, not least of all the incredibly useful one for "fireworks"! [1]

    ^[]1337;RequestAttention=fireworks^G

[1]: https://iterm2.com/documentation-escape-codes.html

[peteretep → shabbyrobe]

To save people needing to lookup how to use that:

    perl -e 'print "\e]1337;RequestAttention=fireworks\007\n"'

[MockObject → peteretep]

and

   echo -e "\x1B]1337;RequestAttention=fireworks\007"
