mouse_zoom_modifier now defaults to none. The platform modifier is cmd on macOS, held for so much else that the font jumped size mid-scroll (#668). Picking a modifier in Settings brings the wheel zoom back; cmd+/cmd- are unchanged.

## Scrolling
|
||
|
||
The wheel and trackpad scroll the pane's scrollback. All of it lives under
|
||
**Settings → Terminal → Scrolling**:
|
||
|
||
| Setting | Default | What it does |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| **Scrollback** | 10,000 lines | How much history each pane keeps, up to 100,000. Applies to new panes. |
|
||
| **Scroll speed** | 1.0 | A multiplier on wheel scrolling (0.1–10). |
|
||
| **Smooth scrolling** | On | Eases each wheel notch into place over a few frames instead of jumping the whole way. Trackpads scroll continuously already and are unaffected. |
|
||
|
||
The wheel only ever scrolls. To zoom the font with it too, pick a modifier
|
||
under **Settings → Terminal** (or set
|
||
`mouse_zoom_modifier`); <kbd>⌘ +</kbd> / <kbd>⌘ −</kbd> zoom either way.
|
||
|
||
A scrollbar appears down the right edge of the pane as soon as the view moves,
|
||
and fades out once it stops — the same bar the sidebar and every list in the app
|
||
use. Drag its thumb to travel the whole scrollback at once, or click the track
|
||
to jump. A pane sitting at the live edge stays bare, however much output is
|
||
running through it.
|
||
|
||
## The pointer
|
||
|
||
Under **Settings → Keyboard & Mouse → Mouse**:
|
||
|
||
| Setting | Default | What it does |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| **Focus follows mouse** | Off | Hovering a pane focuses it without a click. |
|
||
| **Hide mouse while typing** | On | The pointer disappears as you type and returns on the next move. |
|
||
| **Report mouse to apps** | On | Full-screen programs — vim, tmux, `htop` — get clicks and scroll events themselves. Hold <kbd>⇧</kbd> to keep a gesture local and select text instead. |
|
||
|
||
<Tip>
|
||
If selecting text inside `vim` or `less` grabs the app's own selection instead
|
||
of yours, hold <kbd>⇧</kbd> while you drag.
|
||
</Tip>
|
||
|
||
## Font size
|
||
|
||
| | |
|
||
|---|---|
|
||
| <kbd>⌘ +</kbd> · <kbd>⌘ −</kbd> | Bigger · smaller |
|
||
| <kbd>⌘ 0</kbd> | Back to the configured size |
|
||
| <kbd>⌘</kbd> + wheel | Zoom by scrolling over a terminal |
|
||
|
||
The base size is **Settings → Appearance → Terminal text → Terminal font size**, 15 px by
|
||
default. The rest of the interface has its own size — **Interface font size**,
|
||
16 px, adjustable from 12 to 24 — so you can scale the chrome without touching
|
||
the terminal grid, or the other way round.
|
||
|
||
## The bell
|
||
|
||
**Settings → Terminal → Bell → Terminal bell** decides what `^G` does:
|
||
|
||
| Mode | Behaviour |
|
||
|---|---|
|
||
| **Off** | Nothing |
|
||
| **Visual** *(default)* | A brief flash |
|
||
| **Audible** | The system sound |
|
||
| **Both** | Flash and sound |
|
||
|
||
## Command-finished notifications
|
||
|
||
**Settings → General → Notifications** posts a desktop notification when a
|
||
foreground command finishes:
|
||
|
||
- **Notify on command finish** — *Never*, *When unfocused* (default), or
|
||
*Always*
|
||
- **Notify threshold** — how long a command has to run to qualify, 10 seconds by
|
||
default
|
||
|
||
Coding agents use the same policy for their own notifications.
