Terminal essentials
- Real PTYs with 24-bit truecolor — agent CLIs, emoji and box drawing render exactly as in your normal terminal, and IMEs (Vietnamese Telex, CJK) work without dropped characters.
⌘/Ctrl + Ccopies when text is selected and otherwise interrupts;⌘/Ctrl + Vpastes — like VS Code. When the clipboard holds an image (a screenshot) instead of text, the key goes through to the pane, so Claude Code attaches the image ([Image #1]). Dropping files from your file manager onto a pane types their paths.- Programs can copy to your clipboard — nvim
"+y, tmuxset -s set-clipboard on, yazi andghcopy through OSC 52, exactly as in VS Code's terminal. Only writes are honoured: a program can never read your clipboard. - Click a URL to open it in your browser;
⌘/Ctrl + clicka file path (src/foo.ts:42:9,src/foo.ts(42,9),File "x.py", line 42) to open it in your editor at that line. Nothing is ever opened with the OS default app, so a mis-click on a.shor.execan never run it. - Drop a file or folder onto a pane to insert its path, quoted for that pane's shell.
- Choose your shell — PowerShell, cmd, PowerShell 7, Git Bash on Windows; zsh, bash, fish on macOS/Linux — per pane, or as a default in Settings.
