The terminal toolbar
The toolbar across the top controls the whole panel:- New Terminal — open another terminal pane (keyboard shortcut ⌘+T). New panes open alongside the existing ones so you can work in several at once.
- Invoke Claude All — issue a single instruction to every open terminal at the same time, instead of typing into each one individually.
- VS Code — open the project in VS Code, running in the browser.
- Files — browse the workspace’s file tree.
- Settings — configure terminal behavior.
Working with terminals
Each terminal pane has its own controls in its title bar:- Name — panes are labelled (Terminal 1, Terminal 2, and so on), with a status dot showing whether the session is active.
- Worktree selector — point the terminal at a specific worktree, so its commands run against that task’s isolated branch and working directory rather than main. (See Worktrees for how isolation works.)
- Expand — maximize a pane to focus on it.
- Close — end the session and remove the pane.
Pointing each terminal at a different worktree is what lets you work on several tasks in parallel from one screen — each session is isolated, so commands in one never affect another.
