SSH terminal

Opening an SSH connection creates a terminal tab. Full-screen programs such as vim and top work as usual, and resizing the window resizes the server's terminal.

Tabs

Each connection opens in a new tab. ⌘W closes the tab; if a dialog is open, it closes the dialog first.

Choose Files in the tab's View switch to use file transfer over the same SSH connection, without signing in again.

Split panes

SSH terminal tabs can be split left/right or top/bottom, and panes can be split again. A new pane opens a new SSH session with the same connection settings.

Action	macOS	Windows
Split right	⌘D	Alt+Shift+=
Split down	⇧⌘D	Alt+Shift+-
Move to the next pane	⌥⌘ + arrow keys	Alt + arrow keys
Close pane (ends only that session)	⌘W	Ctrl+Shift+W

• Drag an SSH connection from the sidebar onto a terminal to split toward that side and open the connection there.
• Drag a divider to resize; double-click it to split evenly.
• The status bar shows the connection of the focused pane.
• Splitting or closing a pane does not disconnect the other panes.
• SFTP, FTP and RDP tabs cannot be split.

Status bar

The status bar always shows the security state of the current connection:

• Key exchange and cipher
• Host key algorithm and fingerprint, matched against known_hosts
• via when connected through a jump host

Reconnect

When a connection drops, a Reconnect button appears below the terminal, along with the exit code if there is one.
