Search, copy & broadcast

Find in scrollback, select with the keyboard, drop marks, reuse clipboard history, and type to every pane at once.

DiceTerm packs several tools for working with terminal output beyond the basic mouse-select-and-copy: a live search across scrollback, a keyboard-driven selection mode, persistent marks with annotations, a clipboard history picker, and a broadcast mode for driving multiple panes at once.

Find

Press Ctrl+F to open the find bar.

As you type, all matches are highlighted in the scrollback. Three toggles refine the search:

Case — match case exactly
Word — match whole words only
Regex — treat the query as a JavaScript regular expression

Navigate matches with Enter (next) and Shift+Enter (previous). Press Esc to close and clear highlights.

To search across all open panes at once, use Ctrl+Shift+F. Results from every pane appear together.

Copy mode

Press Ctrl+Shift+Space to enter copy mode. The cursor moves into the scrollback; the live shell keeps running.

Navigate with vim-style keys or arrows:

Key	Action
h / j / k / l	Left / down / up / right
← ↓ ↑ →	Same directions
0	Start of line
$	End of line
v	Toggle visual selection
y or Enter	Copy selection and exit
Esc	Cancel and return to live

You can also enable Copy on select in Settings — selecting any text with the mouse automatically copies it to the clipboard without an extra keystroke.

Marks

Marks are persistent positions in scrollback that you can jump between.

Drop a mark at the current cursor position: Ctrl+Shift+M
Jump to previous / next mark: Ctrl+Shift+, / Ctrl+Shift+.
Annotate a line: right-click and choose Annotate line… — adds a text note shown as a tooltip when you hover the mark indicator.

DiceTerm also adds OSC 133 prompt marks automatically. PowerShell and bash are auto-instrumented, so every prompt boundary becomes a mark. This lets you jump between command prompts without dropping marks manually.

Paste history

Press Ctrl+Shift+H to open the paste history picker. It shows your most recent clipboard items (up to ~50 total, with the latest ~20 visible). Click any entry to paste it into the active pane.

The picker is also accessible from the Toolbelt (see below).

Broadcast input

Press Ctrl+Shift+I to toggle broadcast mode. When active, keystrokes you type go to every pane in the current workspace simultaneously.

Broadcast is scoped to the workspace — panes in other workspaces are not affected. A visual indicator shows when broadcast is on. Toggle it off with the same shortcut.

Warning: In broadcast mode, every key you press — including Enter — fires in all panes at once. Check which panes are open before enabling it.

Toolbelt

Press Ctrl+Shift+Y to toggle the toolbelt sidebar. It holds four panels:

Panel	Contents
Recent directories	Directories from `cd` history; click to `cd` in the active pane
Captured output	Lines captured by a "capture" trigger; click to jump to the source line
Notes	Annotations from Annotate line…
Paste history	Same as Ctrl+Shift+H

The Clear button in the toolbelt wipes captured output and notes.
