Terminal Search, Copy, and Scrollback

Search

A search panel lets you type a query and jump between matches in the visible and retained terminal output, with Previous/Next buttons and a "result X of Y" counter.

Selecting and copying text

A long press (about half a second) on terminal text starts word-based selection, with drag handles and a magnifier for fine adjustment, plus a floating Copy / Select-all menu. A separate action lets you copy the entire visible screen at once without entering selection mode. Tapping a detected URL (outside of selection mode) opens it in your browser.

This selection is line-based — it does not yet reflow semantically across resizes the way some desktop terminals do; for most copy/paste use it behaves as expected, but complex multi-line selections spanning a resize may not select exactly what you'd expect.

Scrolling and jump-to-latest

Dragging scrolls the terminal viewport. Once you've scrolled away from the bottom, output no longer auto-follows, and a floating "jump to latest" button appears — it changes appearance if new output has arrived while you were scrolled up. Tapping it snaps back to live output.

Terminal emulation coverage

The terminal supports full-color ANSI output (16-color, 256-color, and true color), cursor movement and editing, and the alternate-screen buffer used by full-screen text apps. It does not yet fully support mouse-tracking terminal apps, clickable OSC hyperlinks, or complete bracketed-paste behavior — most command-line tools work fine, but a small minority of terminal apps that depend on those specific features may behave imperfectly.
