Style

  • Color scheme - 14 schemes, light and dark.
  • Font - Hack, JetBrains Mono, Fira Code, Ubuntu Mono, Source Code Pro. These are Nerd Font versions, so status-line icons in TUIs draw correctly.
  • Font size - Adjust with +/- steppers.
  • Line height - Adjust vertical spacing.
  • Side padding - Adjust horizontal padding.
  • Cursor - Choose Block, Underline or Bar.
  • Blink - Enable cursor blinking.

Behavior

  • Touch mouse wheel - Emulate mouse scroll in apps like vim, less, tmux.
  • Predictive echo - Show what you type before the server answers. Only kicks in on a slow connection. On by default.

App theme

The app’s own look is independent of the terminal scheme. In Settings, under Appearance, tap Theme. Choose Follow device, Light or Dark.
