Customization and shortcuts
Font, theme, and customizable terminal key sets.
- Desktop
- Web 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
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
| `Ctrl+“ | Toggle the terminal panel |
Ctrl+F | Open the find bar |
Ctrl+K | Clear the terminal and replay buffer |
Cmd+V / Ctrl+Shift+V | Paste |
Cmd+C / Ctrl+Shift+C | Copy selection |
These are not user-configurable.
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:
- Click New key set to create a profile.
- Add bindings, either picking a key from the catalog or composing a custom escape sequence.
- 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.
