Terminal

Overview

The terminal toggle in the preview toolbar opens a tabbed shell pane below the preview. It uses SwiftTerm, a native terminal emulator backed by a real PTY. Cmd+J toggles it.

Tabs

• One tab per project directory. Switching to a session whose directory already has a tab activates that tab; switching to a new directory spawns a new tab.
• Each tab keeps its own terminal and PTY for its lifetime — buffer scrollback, running processes, and history persist across tab switches.
• The tab strip has an X to close a tab and a + to spawn an extra tab in the current directory (e.g. for running multiple processes).

Persistence

Shells keep running when you collapse the terminal or hide the right panel, and their output is still there when you reopen it.

Details

• Shell is your $SHELL as a login shell, spawned in the tab's project directory.
• Terminal reports xterm-256color and resizes with the panel.
• Processes are terminated when you close a tab or quit the app.

Agent Access

Opencode's bash tool can run shell commands directly; the integrated terminal is for when you want to type them yourself.
