Overflow Menu & Pane Actions — 0:15 walkthrough

What you'll see

  1. Long-press / overflow menu exposes pane actions: copy output, rename, share.
  2. A terminal focus control decides when keystrokes go to the pane versus scrolling to read.
  3. Landscape uses keyboard avoidance so the on-screen keyboard never covers the active pane.
  4. Wrap: pane management is one press away.

0:00Long-press a pane on mobile and the full action menu opens up.

0:05A long-press, or the overflow menu, gives you the common pane actions: copy the output, rename the pane, or share it.

0:15There is a terminal focus control too -- you decide when keystrokes go into the pane versus when you are just scrolling and reading.

0:25And rotating to landscape works cleanly -- the on-screen keyboard is handled with keyboard avoidance so it never covers the pane you are typing in.

0:34Everything you need to manage a pane -- one press away.

Key takeaway
The overflow menu offers copy/rename/share plus terminal focus control and landscape keyboard avoidance.
