Scratchpad & Search

Scratchpad

The scratchpad is a text input area for composing commands before sending them to the terminal. It's especially useful on mobile where typing directly into the terminal can be awkward.

1. Scratchpad — compose commands with autocomplete and autocorrect
2. Send — sends the scratchpad text to the terminal
3. Arrow keys — navigate shell history and cursor
4. Ctrl / Alt — modifier keys for terminal shortcuts

How to use it:

1. Tap the keyboard icon in the mobile toolbar
2. Type your command in the text area (autocomplete and autocorrect work here)
3. Press Send or hit Enter to send the text to the terminal

The scratchpad supports multi-line input and maintains a history of recently sent commands.

Terminal Search

Search through terminal output with the built-in search bar.

1. Search input — type your query to find text in the terminal buffer
2. Navigation & case toggle — prev/next match arrows, case-sensitive toggle (Aa), and close button

How to use it:

1. Tap the search icon in the header toolbar
2. Type your search query
3. Use the up/down arrows to navigate between matches
4. Press Escape or the close button to dismiss

Search highlights all matches in the visible terminal buffer.
