New issue 2931 by dominiqu...@gmail.com: 2 suggestions about broadcast input
http://code.google.com/p/iterm2/issues/detail?id=2931

First of all, his feature (broadcasting the input) is REALLY useful to
manage a cluster of identical servers! But to be optimal I would like to
have 2 (and a half) options.

First, I would like this feature to be "tab-specific". Most of the time I
use 3 tabs and they are all for specific "kind" of servers. Sometimes I
forgot that I had Broadcast enabled in a tab, I enable more servers and
then I get executing commands on servers I am not aware of! It's quite
dangerous to be able to execute commands on a server that we don't even see
it's prompt!

Also, would it be possible to save the "broadcast input status" in the
Window Arrangement? I would like to have my panes already linked when I
open iTerm2... But with that it would help to have the "half" feature to
make it really useful. When a Window Arrangement is saved, could we assign
a "default command" to have on the prompt when the Panes are opened? This
would allow me to record my SSH command for all my panes that would be
linked so when iTerm2 is opened I simply have to execute my command to
automatically be ready to broadcast commands on the servers I frequently
connect to.

I hope I explained my suggestions clearly, I can try to re-explain as
needed.

Thanks a lot!
