Terminal pane

DeckCrate has an embedded terminal — a real shell at the current folder, shown in the same slot as the preview pane.

Open it from the command menu → ToolsOpen terminal here. There’s one terminal per tab, and it stays running while the app is open.

  • Press X to open the on-screen keyboard and start typing.
  • Press B to hide the pane — the session keeps running.
  • Press Y to destroy the session entirely.

On a physical keyboard, Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+Esc leaves typing mode so your key presses go back to the file manager.
