How to open the iTerm in the sublime text 3?

Question

I installed the Terminal package in the sublime3, setting in the package:

{
"terminal": "iTerm.sh",
"parameters": []
}

But when I press the command + shift + T buttons together，there is no response，Why?

It's a [known issue](https://github.com/wbond/sublime_terminal/issues/89) — idleberg, Aug 14 '16 at 09:06

For iTerm2 on Sublime Text 3 with Bond's terminal package do the following:

In Sublime 3, go to Preferences > Package Settings > Terminal > Settings - User

Paste the following & save:

{
    "terminal": "iTerm2-v3.sh",
    "parameters": ["--open-in-tab"]
}

Test opening project folder on iTerm2 with cmd + shift + T (Working on Sublime 3 build 3131)

I have done your recommendation but nothing happens @Syden – alper Dec 23 '19 at 15:13
I was able to make it work by using `Keyboard Maestro` and creating a key-binding for `iTerm2`. @Syden – alper Dec 27 '19 at 04:58
@alper ok great! just checking if I could help, I have it working exactly as stated above, thanks. – Syden Dec 27 '19 at 17:47

Download this shell script and add it to your system path with the name iTerm2-v3.sh. Make sure you have iTerm >= 3.0.4 or even better, latest iTerm2-v3. Go to Preferences > Package Settings > Terminal > Settings - User. Your settings file should look like this.

{
    "terminal": "iTerm2-v3.sh",
    "parameters": ["--open-in-tab"]
}

Also, double check your shortcut is not overridden by other command. Hit Cmd+Shift+P and type Terminal: Open

This should work. The iTerm might not get activated, you have to switch to iTerm2 and check if the current folder in Sublime has opened in a new tab in iTerm2.

Hard to say without more information. However, a good way to debug such issues is to look in the console. To open the sublime console, press Ctrl + ` or select View → Show Console from the main menu. Now press the shortcut again and see if some debug message is shown.

If you suspect that something is wrong with the keybinds, you can run view.run_command('open_terminal') from the console. This is the command that is issued on cmd+shift+t (see the config file of the package).

As a side-note. I didn't know this package existed, instead I once wrote a few lines to do exactly this. It can be useful if you want to play around with running a terminal or such yourself.

import sublime_plugin, subprocess

class OpenTerminal(sublime_plugin.TextCommand):
  def run (self, edit):
    if self.view.file_name():
      cwd = '/'.join(self.view.file_name().split('/')[:-1])
    else:
      cwd = self.view.window().project_data()['folders'][0]['path']
    subprocess.Popen(['xfce4-terminal', '--working-directory=' + cwd])
