Visually distinguish different lines (for long wrapped lines) in iTerm2 / Terminal I'm using an application that outputs very long lines. It's fine - it means things aren't cut off at 80 characters - but the default Terminal and iTerm2 config makes it hard to distinguish between:


the second line of a wrapped long line
the start of the next line


Eg:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur 
adipiscing elit. 
Proin sed velit nibh. Proin ornare nisi 
at erat congue, vel dignissim tortor malesuada. 


Is there any way I can configure the app to show things so that there's some space after each carriage return, eg:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur 
adipiscing elit. 

Proin sed velit nibh. Proin ornare nisi 
at erat congue, vel dignissim tortor malesuada. 


Thanks very much!
Here's a starting point.

In iTerm 2 go to Preferences > Profiles > (Your profile) > Advanced, then click Edit under Triggers.

Add a new Trigger using the + button at the bottom left, then set:


Regular Expression: .$
Action: Highlight Text…
Parameters: Red on White (or a colour combination you find appropriately funkadelic)


Close the Triggers pane.

You should now see a white "line" at the far right of the iTerm window. This is really iTerm changing the last character on the line to red text on a white background. This should help you spot lines that are wrapped versus new lines.
