Output & Docs

The Output and Docs panes give you live feedback as you compose and run commands.

Jumping to the Output and Docs Panes

Press o to jump directly to the Output Pane, or d to jump directly to the Docs Pane, from any composer pane or the Command Bar. Both shortcuts are unavailable while focused in the Inputs Pane, and each is blocked while the other pane is enlarged — o doesn’t work while Docs is enlarged, and d doesn’t work while Output is enlarged. Pressing o while already in the Output Pane (or d while already in Docs) exits back to the composer instead.

Scrolling

While the Output or Docs pane is focused, use j/k (or ↓/↑) to scroll vertically through its contents — long command help text or executed command output.

Panning the Output Pane Horizontally

The Output Pane additionally supports horizontal panning: while it is focused, use h/l (or ←/→) to shift long lines left and right, which is useful for wide command output that would otherwise wrap or run off-screen. The Docs Pane only scrolls vertically; it does not support horizontal panning.

Enlarging a Pane

Press O to enlarge the Output Pane, or D to enlarge the Docs Pane, to full-screen. Press the same key again, or Esc, to restore the normal layout.

Copying to the Clipboard

Press c while a pane is focused to copy its text content to the clipboard. ANSI color codes are stripped from the copied text first. Clipboard copying shells out to wl-copy, so it depends on having a Wayland session with wl-copy available — it is not a universal cross-platform clipboard integration.
