Terminals, tabs and split screen

Click a server in Sessions to open it in a new tab. You can open as many as you like, including the same server twice.

#The terminal tab

At the top of each SSH tab you'll see who you're signed in as, and three buttons:

• Split — show a second terminal side by side in the same tab.
• Tunnels — forward a port through this connection (Port forwarding).
• Files — open the file manager for this server (File manager).

On Linux servers a bar shows live CPU, memory and disk use, updated every few seconds. On other systems (network devices, macOS, BSD) it stays hidden — that's expected.

#Moving around quickly

You can change every shortcut — see Keyboard shortcuts.

#Folders

Group servers into folders with Folder / group in a server's settings, or ⋯ → Move to folder… (or drag a server onto a folder) — see Organize and share your servers. Drag folders to reorder them, and click a folder's name to collapse it. Type in Search sessions… to filter the list.

#Copy and paste

Select text with the mouse, then copy it with right-click → Copy (or ⌘C on a Mac). In a terminal Ctrl+C means "stop the running command", so on Windows and Linux use right-click instead. Paste with right-click → Paste, Ctrl+V or ⌘V.

#Find and save the output

• Find (top of the tab, or Ctrl+Shift+F / ⌘⇧F) searches everything in the terminal's scrollback. Enter goes to the next match, Shift+Enter to the previous one; Aa matches case and .* searches with a regular expression. Esc closes it. Text you've selected is searched straight away.
• Save output downloads everything in the terminal's scrollback as a text file — handy for keeping a record of a change or sending a log to a colleague. It happens in your browser; nothing is stored on the server. How far back it goes depends on Scrollback in Terminal appearance.

#Changing how it looks

Font, size, spacing, cursor, colour scheme and scrollback are in Settings → Terminal appearance — see Themes, fonts and cursor.
