Search, ⌘K

Search finds it all in one field: the commands of every terminal of yours and what they printed, the logs of your machines, notes, terminals, machines, projects and things to do.

Open it

Press ⌘K on a Mac or Ctrl+Shift+K elsewhere, or click Search to the right of the tabs. Ctrl without Shift stays the terminal’s. Esc closes search.

Before you type, search shows what you had open last, the commands you run most on the machine of the terminal in front, and a few things to do.

What it finds

• Commands – every command of every terminal of yours, ended ones too, for as long as the project keeps them: 30 days. A command run several times on one machine is one line that says how many runs, 3 runs.
• Output – what those commands printed. Of a long output, search reads the start and the end.
• Logs – the logs of the machines in your projects: the commands run on them through tTerm, and the notes under them, a year back.
• Notes – the notes of your projects, their titles and text.
• Terminals, Machines and Projects, as the sidebar lists them, and a running terminal with no tab too.
• Actions – things to do, such as New project, Settings or switching the theme.

Every word you type has to be there, in any order and any case, and a word can be part of a longer one: cert finds certbot.

Keep to one kind

The buttons above the list keep to one kind: All, Commands, Output, Logs, Notes, Terminals, Machines, Projects and Actions. Tab goes to the next one. A word in front does the same: c: commands, o: output, l: logs, n: notes, t: terminals, m: machines, p: projects, > things to do. For example:

• c: nginx – the commands with nginx in them;
• o: timed out – the commands whose output has both timed and out;
• > theme – Switch to the dark theme, or to the light one.

In All each kind shows its first three, and All 12 next to a kind’s heading shows the rest.

Open what you found

↑ and ↓ move through the list. Beside it is what the chosen line is: for a command, its machine, folder and branch, how it ended, when, its terminal and the first lines of its output.

Enter, or a click, opens it:

• a command or a line of output – in its terminal, at its block, marked Found, with the words lit. The block shows even if it was folded or cleared from view, and a terminal in Classic shows it in Line;
• a line of a log – the machine’s log, at that line;
• a note – at the place with the words;
• a terminal – its tab; a machine – a new terminal on it; a project – its page. An action is done.

⌘Enter on a Mac, Ctrl+Enter elsewhere, puts a command into the input line of the terminal in front without running it, even when that terminal is on another machine. Under the line it says From search, not run yet: Enter runs it there, Esc clears the line. In the classic mode the command waits at the shell’s prompt the same way. If a command is running in the terminal in front, its line is not free: search says so, and you try again when it ends. With no terminal in front, the command goes to a terminal of yours on its machine, or to a new one there.

The buttons under the preview, Open in its terminal and Into the line, do what Enter and ⌘Enter do.
