WorkspacesThe terminal
The pad's browser terminal
Every pad includes a browser terminal: a web page onto your machine, on your laptop and on your phone. Free workspaces use the CLI instead.
Tabs and panes
Workspace tabs run across the top; “new workspace” and “new window” open more. On a wide screen the terminal keeps a fixed width and the rest of the page is a side pane for previews, so a run and its output sit next to each other.
Copy and paste
Select text in the terminal and it is in your clipboard when you release. No keybinding to learn, and it works on every device the terminal does.
The preview pane
The preview pane renders files from your workspace: images and screenshots, SVG and Excalidraw diagrams, PDFs, and generated HTML or Markdown reports. When an agent produces a diagram or a report, you look at it in the page rather than downloading it. Use the files button to pick anything from ~/workspace.
On a phone
The same page, sized to the device, with touch keys for control, escape, tab and interrupt. Checking a run from a phone is a first-class path, not an emergency hatch; see knowing when an agent needs you.
