I have been searching for this for a while now and finally I give up and need to ask the question.
I have Terminal.app on my OSX (10.8.4) machine setup to remember my open terminal tabs & windows. This means that when I open the application my previously open tabs & widnows are restored with their working directories preserved.
So, if I have a session with tabs:
- /usr/local
- ~/github/project
- ~/Documents
Upon closing and restarting the Terminal application those tabs will be restored on application startup.
I do not have a .bashrc file in my user directory or any window groups save in Terminal Preferences > Window Groups. Here are my settings for Terminal Preferences > Startup:
- On startup, open:
- the radio button for "New window with settings:" is selected with "Pro"
- Shells open with:
- Default login shell
- New windows open with:
- Default Settings
- Default Working Directory
- New tabs open with:
- Default Settings
- Same Working Directory
I am pretty sure I have not done any other customizing in the preferences for Terminal other than window size. Is there some other place that settings are being stored? I only ask because I sometimes use other computers and would like to bring this functionality with me.
