I've recently discovered how incredibly customizable Mac OS 10.5's Terminal can be. For example, I created a custom setup that is useful for Django developers. Whenever it opens, it automatically starts my Django server, and instead of using Ctrl+C to stop the server, I can just press End to both shut down the server and exit the window. This is how I set it up:
1. In Terminal prefs, go to "Settings" and hit the plus below the settings list. 2. Name it "Django Server". 3. First, in Text, change all fonts to White and the selection to "Spindrift". (This is just for looks.) 4. Go to the Window group, and change the title to "Django Dev Server". Change the background to "Moss" (again, just for looks). 5. Move to Shell. Check "Run Command", type in "python /the/location/ of/your/manage.py runserver" and check "Run inside shell" if it's not already checked. Also, select "Close if the shell exited cleanly" from "When the shell exits:". 6. Under Keyboard, delete the current entry for end. Add an entry for "shift + end", telling it to "scroll to end of buffer" (what the old end did). Then, add another entry for "end". Under "Action:" pick "Send String to Shell", click the text box, press Ctrl+C, type exit, and press Return. Click OK. Hope this is helpful. It's much easier than running manage.py runserver manually.
