The browser terminal

The terminal is a web page onto your pad. Everything below is in the page itself: there is no client to install and no ssh to configure.

Tabs and panes

Workspace tabs run across the top; “new workspace” and “new window” open more. On a wide screen the terminal keeps a fixed width and the rest of the page is a side pane for previews, so a run and its output sit next to each other.

Copy and paste

Select text in the terminal and it is in your clipboard when you release. No keybinding to learn, and it works on every device the terminal does.

The preview pane

The preview pane renders files from your workspace: images and screenshots, SVG and Excalidraw diagrams, PDFs, and generated HTML or Markdown reports. When an agent produces a diagram or a report, you look at it in the page rather than downloading it. Use the files button to pick anything from ~/workspace.

On a phone

The same page, sized to the device, with touch keys for control, escape, tab and interrupt. Checking a run from a phone is a first-class path, not an emergency hatch; see knowing when an agent needs you.
