Search a session's scrollback

Search finds text anywhere in a session’s scrollback — the full 32,000-line buffer the terminal retains, not just what’s on screen.

Steps

1. Click into the session pane you want to search.
2. Press Cmd+F (macOS) or Ctrl+F (Windows/Linux). A search overlay opens.
3. Type your query. Every match highlights, and a live counter shows how many there are (e.g. 3/17).
4. Press Enter for the next match, Shift+Enter for the previous, Esc to close.

Search is case-insensitive and matches plain text (not a regex).

Notes

• The search covers the whole retained scrollback (32K lines), so a match far above the current view is still found and highlighted.
• Closing the overlay returns focus to the terminal, so you can keep typing immediately.
