Add iTerm Defaults

[GoogleCodeExporter]

There are a few settings that you cannot access via iTerm's own Preferences 
panel. However, you 
can use 'defaults" command to change them to your taste. The available settins 
along with the 
default settings are:
defaults write iTerm UseUnevenTabs -bool false
defaults write iTerm MinTabWidth -int 75 
defaults write iTerm MinCompactTabWidth -int 60
defaults write iTerm OptimumTabWidth -int 175

defaults write iTerm StrokeWidth -float 0
defaults write iTerm BoldStrokeWidth -float -2

defaults write iTerm CacheSize -float 2048
defaults write iTerm SearchCommand -string "http://google.com/search?q=%@"
The first four are for setting the tab size. And the next 2 are for setting the 
stroke width of fonts 
rendering. The numbers in the example are all default settings. Experiment with 
different 
numbers. For example, to enable antialias for very small fonts, type these 
commands:
defaults write iTerm StrokeWidth -float -1
The CacheSize is the number of characters that are cached for rendering. 
Increase it when you 
use a lot of different colors and a large character set. The last one is for 
the search command 
launched from the contextual menu. The default is to use google. You can set it 
to anything you 
want. For example, if you like yahoo, here is the command:
defaults write iTerm SearchCommand -string "http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=%@"
