Customization and shortcuts

Customize Glueprint terminals: inherit the app font and theme, use built-in keyboard shortcuts, and define reusable terminal key sets in the portal.

The terminal’s defaults work for most people. A few things can be customized.

Font and colors

The terminal uses your app’s monospace font and theme. There is no separate terminal font picker today.

  • Font — inherits the app’s monospace stack (Fira Code, Monaco, then a system fallback). To change it, change the app font in Settings > Appearance.
  • Colors — inherit your active theme. Switching between light and dark in Settings > Appearance updates the terminal palette immediately. Programs that ask the terminal for its colors (some TUIs and CLIs do this on startup) get answers consistent with the active theme.

Built-in shortcuts

macOSWindows and LinuxAction
Ctrl+`Ctrl+`New terminal tab in the focused pane
Cmd+FCtrl+Shift+FOpen the find bar
Cmd+KCtrl+Shift+KClear the terminal and replay buffer
Cmd+VCtrl+Shift+VPaste
Cmd+CCtrl+Shift+CCopy selection

Find, clear, copy and paste are fixed. Plain Ctrl keys (Ctrl+C, Ctrl+R, Ctrl+W and so on) always go to the shell on Windows and Linux. The new-terminal key, and the app shortcuts that also work from a terminal (F1 for the command palette, F6 to move focus between regions, and on macOS the Cmd shortcuts), can be changed in Settings > Keyboard. See Keyboard shortcuts.

Terminal key sets (portal)

The portal lets you define terminal key sets — named profiles of keyboard shortcuts that send specific input to the focused terminal. This is useful if you keep typing the same long sequences (Ctrl+C three times, a specific escape sequence to switch panes, your tmux prefix, etc.) and want a single key to fire them.

Open Settings > Terminal in the portal:

  1. Click New key set to create a profile.
  2. Add bindings, either picking a key from the catalog or composing a custom escape sequence.
  3. Activate the set. Only one set is active at a time. Activation is per-account and persists across sessions.

Key sets are not the same as shell shortcuts. They work at the Glueprint layer — when you press the bound key in a terminal, Glueprint sends the configured bytes into the PTY exactly as if you had typed them.

What is not configurable

  • The shell binary — the terminal uses your host’s default shell from $SHELL (or the OS default if that isn’t set). Change your default shell at the OS level if you want a different one.
  • Bell behavior, cursor style, and scrollback size are fixed at sensible defaults.
