Terminal Integration

The Alph Editor includes a fully-featured terminal that provides direct access to your server’s command line interface.

Key Features

  • Persistent Sessions: Terminal sessions remain active until explicitly closed, allowing long-running processes to continue.
  • Multiple Terminals: Create and manage multiple terminal instances for different tasks.
  • AI Integration: Use CTRL+K within the terminal to invoke Agent Alph for command suggestions, explanations, or troubleshooting.
  • Command History: Access previously used commands with the up/down arrow keys.

Managing Terminal Windows

The terminal tools are located at the bottom of the editor interface:

  1. Create New Terminal: Add additional terminal instances by clicking the ”+” button.
  2. Switch Between Terminals: Use the numbered tabs to switch between different terminal sessions.
  3. Close Terminal: Close a terminal session by clicking the “x” icon on its tab.

For large output, use commands like less or redirect output to a file with > that you can then view in the editor.
