iTerm is a very spiffy open source terminal application for OS X. It's probably most popular (or at least best known) for its ability to run multiple windows in tabs, but it also seems to offer more (GUI-based) customization than Terminal.app.

I get the feeling that this is the teminal app of choice for most Mac nerds, and I wondered if anyone has any hot iTerm tricks to share. I confess to finding the documentation a bit sparse, so I'd love to hear any awesome tips on Bookmarks, Scripts, etc.

Isn't there a way, for example to automate yr SSH login and select default destination directories?

Kindly `ls -a`. (Oh, verrrry droll Merlin)
