Can one detect what terminal application is being used? I want the actual application, not TERM env in the question.

I'd like to detect iTerm 2 / Terminal.app so I could set OSX specific keyboard mappings, otherwise PC.

(See ALT+arrow moving between words in ZSH and iTerm 2 )

You could see if the application is "running" with "ps -ax | grep iTerm" But I am not exactly sure how you would see if it was being "used" – Justin May 23 '12 at 15:43

You need to SSH forward local environment variables, as explained here:
