Terminal
Run Command Prompt, PowerShell, Git Bash and WSL in tabs next to your files.
Shells in tabs
Set a panel to Terminal. Each tab is a shell with a real console behind it, so programs that draw on the whole screen (a pager, an editor, far) work in it.
New terminal in the panel's toolbar lists the shells found on your computer:
- Command Prompt
- Windows PowerShell
- PowerShell 7, Git Bash and WSL, when they are installed
The + of the tabs, or Ctrl+Shift+T, starts the same shell as the last one.
Where it starts
A new terminal starts in the folder the other panel shows, when that is a folder on your disk. Go to a project in the file panel, open a terminal in the other, and you are already there.
Keys
Everything you type goes to the shell, the function keys too. The app keeps only a few for itself:
| Key | What it does |
|---|---|
Ctrl+Shift+T | New terminal |
Ctrl+Shift+W | Close the tab |
Ctrl+PageUp, Ctrl+PageDown | Previous tab, next tab |
Ctrl+Tab | The other panel |
Alt+F1, Alt+F2, Ctrl+1, Ctrl+2 | As everywhere in the window |
Copy and paste
Ctrl+Ccopies what is selected. With nothing selected it stops what is running, as in any console.Ctrl+Shift+Calways copies.Ctrl+Vpastes.- A right click copies the selection, or pastes when nothing is selected.
Closing
Ctrl+Shift+W, the tab's ×, a wheel click, or the shell's own exit closes a tab and ends what runs in it.
Terminals keep running while the panel shows something else, and end when the app is closed.
