Features

2×N Grid

Two rows, unlimited columns. Start with 2 columns (4 terminals) and add more as you go.

Smooth Horizontal Scroll

Trackpad-friendly horizontal navigation to pan across columns quickly.

Minimap

Optional horizontal minimap that mirrors the grid. Drag to pan; resize vertically on the fly.

SSH-Aware Colors

Detects successful SSH logins and applies consistent dark background colors per host/IP.

Quick Recovery

When a PTY exits, press Enter or click the pane to respawn a local shell instantly.

Zero-Fuss Fit

Automatic pane resizing without external fit addons; tuned for stability.

Minimap mirrors the 2×N grid and supports drag-to-pan and live resize.
