Overview

Package app provides commands for controlling the iTerm2 application.

The app commands provide functionality to interact with iTerm2 as a whole, including activation, window listing, and variable management. These commands are essential for getting context about the current state of iTerm2.

Key features:

• activate: Bring iTerm2 to the foreground
• list-windows: List all terminal windows with their structure
• get-variable: Get application-level variables (including current context)
• set-variable: Set user-defined application variables

The get-variable command is particularly useful for getting the current session, tab, or window ID:

it2 app get-variable id        # Current session ID
it2 app get-variable tab.id    # Current tab ID
it2 app get-variable windowId  # Current window ID

Examples:

it2 app activate --raise-all
it2 app list-windows
it2 app get-variable effectiveTheme
it2 app set-variable user.myvar "value"
