SSH Terminal

Opening a Terminal

From the Site Manager, click SSH on any server. A new tab opens with a full terminal.

Features

  • xterm.js -- real terminal emulator, not a text area
  • Auto-resize -- terminal adapts to window size
  • Copy/paste -- Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V (or right-click)
  • Multiple tabs -- open several terminals simultaneously
  • Web links -- clickable URLs in terminal output
  • Color support -- full 256-color and true-color
  • Search the scrollback -- Ctrl+Shift+F

Searching the scrollback

Ctrl+Shift+F opens a search bar over the terminal. Enter goes to the next match, Shift+Enter to the previous one, Esc closes it and hands the keyboard back to the shell. A search that matches nothing says so rather than doing nothing.

Why not Ctrl+F

Ctrl+F is readline's forward-char, and a terminal that swallows it is a terminal that fights you. Same reason the command palette is on Ctrl+Shift+P and leaves Ctrl+P to previous-command.

Quick Connect

Use the toolbar for one-off connections:

  1. Fill in Host, Username, Password, Port
  2. Click Quickconnect

Terminal Theme

The terminal uses the Tokyo Night color scheme:

  • Background: #1a1b26
  • Foreground: #c0caf5
  • Font: Consolas / Courier New, 13px
