Workspace

The Workspace tab arranges server views in panes. For example, put a server’s terminal beside its status page, or show one server’s shell above another server’s containers. Each pane can show a view available from a server’s detail page.

The tab is hidden by default. Open it from More, or add it under Settings › Application › Home Tabs.

Workspaces, panes and tabs

• A workspace is a named arrangement. You can keep several and switch between them from the name at the top left.
• A workspace is split into panes. Split a pane right or down, drag the line between two panes to resize them, and double-click that line to make the two halves equal again.
• Each pane holds tabs. A tab is one view of one server: terminal, status, files, Agent, containers, processes, services or snippets.

Drag a tab to another pane’s edge to split that pane, or to its middle to add it there. On iOS and Android, press and hold a tab before dragging. If the pane is on a phone or too narrow to show its tabs, drag the pane bar instead.

A narrow window shows the focused pane and the one you focused just before it. The panes button at the top lists every pane and moves the focus.

Maximize fills the workspace with one pane and hides the others until you restore it. Double-clicking a pane’s strip of tabs does the same. A narrow window has no maximize: it already shows at most two panes.

You can undo the most recent tab or pane close from the message that appears, or use the Reopen closed tab shortcut. Reopening restores the workspace to the state before that close, so it also discards any layout changes made since. You cannot undo the close after closing that workspace or deleting a server used in it.

After a restart

Workspaces are kept on the device. When the app starts again, tabs of a server set to connect at launch reconnect as they are shown. Tabs of any other server wait until you tap Connect, or until the server is connected from the server tab; either connects all of that server’s tabs. A tab on a server that has been deleted is removed.

Sync input

Sync input sends each key you type to every other terminal in the workspace, like tmux synchronize-panes. A bar above each terminal shows when it is enabled. Terminal-generated replies, such as cursor-position reports, are not copied.

Templates

Save layout as template stores the pane layout and each pane’s view types, without server assignments. Choosing a template creates a workspace with that layout. Its tabs use the server assigned to the active tab in the focused pane; if that pane is empty, you choose a server.

Moving a terminal into a workspace

In the Terminal tab, Move to workspace moves the current server terminal into a workspace. This option is not available for a terminal on this device. The connection, shell, and screen contents are preserved.

Keyboard shortcuts

Settings › Application › Keyboard shortcuts lists the app’s shortcuts. You can change or remove configurable shortcuts; fixed shortcuts are listed but cannot be changed. Workspace shortcuts work only in a workspace. Global shortcuts, such as opening Settings, work on every page. In a terminal outside a workspace, shortcuts assigned to workspace, Settings, or server-tab actions are sent to the shell because those actions are unavailable there. The terminal’s copy, paste, and select-all controls are not configurable shortcuts.
