Terminal Settings

​

Windows integration

• Use Conpty (Windows): Specifies whether the terminal should use Windows’ native ConPTY system.
  • Auto: Automatically determines the best configuration. This is the default.
  • Yes: Explicitly forces the use of ConPTY.
  • No: Disables ConPTY. Disabling this can help resolve terminal spawning issues on older Windows builds or in virtual environments.

​

Text and buffer

• Font Size: Sets the terminal font size in pixels. The default is 14.
• Scrollback: Sets the maximum number of lines kept in the terminal scroll history. The default is 1000. Increase this if you run commands with extensive logs.
• Enable Ligatures: Toggle font ligatures. When enabled, character sequences like =>, !=, or === are rendered as unified symbols.
• Output Color: Enables or disables colored terminal logs. Disabling this will render all text in plain monochrome.

​

Cursor styling

• Blink Cursor: Toggles whether the terminal cursor flashes.
• Cursor Style: Selects the shape of the cursor when active:
  • Bar (Default)
  • Block
  • Underline
• Cursor Inactive Style: Selects the shape of the cursor when the terminal pane loses focus:
  • Bar
  • Block
  • Underline
  • Outline
  • None (Hides the cursor entirely when inactive)

​

Terminal shortcuts and quick commands

1. Under the Terminal settings, locate the Terminal Quick Commands slots.
2. Fill in a Label (what displays on the button) and the Command text (e.g. npm run dev or git status).
3. These commands appear as shortcut buttons in active terminal tabs.
4. You can trigger them using hotkeys (assignable in the Hotkeys settings).

​

Tab and exit behavior

• Close Tab on Exit: Automatically closes the terminal tab when the shell process finishes (e.g. typing exit).
• Send “Y” with Exit: Automatically sends y followed by Enter when terminating a process. This bypasses prompts like Terminate batch job (Y/N)? when stopping terminal tasks.

​

Link handling

• Open Links in New Tab: Automatically opens clicked URLs inside a new LynxHub browser tab.
• Middle Click: You can middle-click any URL in the terminal to force it to open in a new tab, regardless of this setting.
• Resize Delay: Sets the delay (in milliseconds) before the terminal viewport adapts to window resizing. The default is 77ms. Tweak this if you notice visual lag or rendering artifacts when resizing the window.
