Set up your terminal

Jinion works in any modern terminal. A few settings make it work better.

Light and darkCopy Anchor Link

Jinion detects whether your terminal background is light or dark and picks its colors to match. If it guesses wrong, set it yourself:

jinion --theme light

Or set JINION_THEME=light (or dark) in your shell profile to make it stick.

New linesCopy Anchor Link

shift+enter adds a new line in most terminals. If yours sends the message instead, use alt+enter, or end the line with \ and press enter.

Select and copy textCopy Anchor Link

Drag to select text. When you let go, it is copied, and copied 27 chars to clipboard shows at the top right of the prompt. Double-click selects a word, with a file path or a URL as one word; triple-click selects a line. With text selected, ctrl+c copies it again rather than stopping the agent. Typing, clicking or scrolling lets go of it.

On your own machine the text goes through the system's clipboard tool: pbcopy on macOS, wl-copy, xclip or xsel on Linux. Over SSH it goes through your terminal (OSC 52). iTerm2 lets it through once you turn on Settings → General → Selection → Applications in terminal may access clipboard. Inside tmux it also goes to tmux's paste buffer.

For your terminal's own selection, hold shift while you drag: option in iTerm2, fn in Terminal.app.

ScrollCopy Anchor Link

The mouse wheel and pgup / pgdn scroll the conversation. When you scroll up, a Jump to bottom row appears; click it to follow the conversation again.

NotificationsCopy Anchor Link

Notifications use your terminal's own desktop notifications, or its bell where it has none. See Get notified for which terminals show them.

Paste imagesCopy Anchor Link

ctrl+v reads an image from the clipboard on macOS. On Linux it needs wl-paste (Wayland) or xclip (X11):

sudo apt install wl-clipboard   # Wayland
sudo apt install xclip          # X11

Dragging an image file into the terminal works everywhere, since the terminal pastes its path.
