Terminal Operations

Terminal is the core feature of Chaterm, providing a complete SSH terminal experience.

Terminal Connection

After connecting to a host, the terminal window will open automatically. The terminal supports:

  • Full-Featured Terminal: Supports all standard terminal commands and operations
  • Multi-Tab Management: Can open multiple terminal sessions simultaneously, switch via tabs
  • Tab Rename: Right-click on a tab to rename it for easy identification
  • Tab Clone: Can clone the current terminal to create a new session

Terminal Splitting

The terminal supports split-screen functionality, making it convenient to view multiple terminals or execute multiple tasks simultaneously:

  • Split Right: Horizontally split the terminal window
  • Split Down: Vertically split the terminal window

After splitting, each split pane is an independent terminal session that can connect to different hosts or execute different commands.

Split Operations

In the terminal page's Tab menu bar, you can perform the following split operations:

Multi-Terminal Management

  1. Reasonable Splitting: Arrange terminal layout according to workflow, for example:
    • Display logs on the left, execute commands on the right
    • Monitor system status on top, execute operations below
  2. Naming Conventions: Set clear names for terminals with different purposes for easy identification
  3. Regular Cleanup: Close unused terminal sessions promptly to keep the interface tidy

Search Tips

  • Use regular expressions for complex searches
  • Combine with split functionality to search in multiple terminals simultaneously
  • Utilize search history to quickly repeat searches
