Terminal
Press ⌘T while connected, or the terminal button in the toolbar, and a shell on the server opens in a window of its own. Open in Terminal, in the right-click menu of a folder on the server, opens one in that folder.
Each terminal is its own session on the same connection, so you can have as many as you like.
Using it
It is a full terminal: colours, bold and italic, full-screen programs like
top, htop, vim and less, and the window's size goes to the server as
you resize it. Typing goes through macOS's input methods, so dead keys, æøå and
other compositions work as they do anywhere else.
| Select | Drag. Double-click selects a word, triple-click a line, ⇧-click extends. |
| Copy, paste | ⌘C and ⌘V. Pasting into a program that asks for bracketed paste is marked as a paste, so a shell does not run pasted lines as you paste them. |
| Scroll | The scroll wheel or trackpad goes back through the scrollback. In a full-screen program it sends the arrow keys instead. |
| Clear | ⌘K clears the screen and the scrollback. |
The window's title is what the program on the server sets, or the server's name.
The font, its size and how many lines of scrollback new terminals keep are in Settings; the font and size change open terminals too.
When the connection drops
A terminal says The connection was closed when its connection goes, and stays as it was so you can read what was on it. Terminals do not reconnect; open a new one once the connection is back.
