Secondary views

Preview#

v makes the right pane follow the left cursor and locks pane focus to the left. A second v or Esc restores the right pane.

Local text is read up to 256 KB, while other local files use Quick Look. Remote text uses the same cap. Remote PNG, JPEG, GIF, HEIC, TIFF, BMP, WebP, ICO, PDF, and SVG files use a temporary local cache when they are at most 25 MB; a stream that exceeds the cap is refused and removed.

Shell and reads#

⌘` starts or resumes a shell for the focused host and moves the keyboard between that shell and the panes. A new shell starts in the pane's current directory. An existing shell keeps its current working directory.

Plain ` shows the command panel and enables workbench keys. Shift-Tab also toggles panel focus. The read keys are d for df -h, z for zfs list, s for zpool status, and p for zpool list.

Favorites#

8 stars the highlighted directory, ⌘8 stars the current directory, and * opens the favorites panel. A favorite is host-bound by default and can be promoted to a global favorite that appears for all hosts.

The panel uses pane navigation keys, Enter jumps to the selected favorite, and its left, both, or right selector chooses the destination pane. ⌘Z undoes the last favorites change.

Settings#

⌘, opens host controls, transfer flags, round-trip upload policy, ZFS destroy confirmation, the mount grant, appearance, and update checking. Transfer exclusions and custom flags are included in each displayed rsync command.

SSH config changes use a version check, a versioned backup, and atomic file replacement. Settings writes are atomic, and a write failure is shown because the displayed value would otherwise revert at restart.

Key reference#

? toggles one floating key-reference panel. Esc closes that panel from either the panel or the main window.

Zoom and log#

⌘+, ⌘−, and ⌘0 change or reset one scale used by the main and floating views. The allowed range is 0.8× through 1.6×, and the setting persists.

⇧⌘L points the focused pane at operations.log. The log contains enacted commands, their output, and completion state; planning without enactment is omitted.
