Quicksilver iTerm2 plugin¶

This plugin provides functionality for having commands from the Terminal plugin work in iTerm2. It does so by registering iTerm2 as a Command line interface.

When the iTerm2 plugin is installed, iTerm2 becomes available as a choice under Command Line Interface in the Handlers section of the Quicksilver preferences.

In addition, this plugin provides iTerm2-specific functionality.

This plugin contains adapted code from the Terminal plugin.
