The terminal

Flywrite includes a real terminal — the same shell you'd get in your system's Terminal app, right below your writing. It's how you run Claude Code, Codex, or any other CLI agent.

Opening it

Press ⌃` to show or hide the terminal panel, or ⌘J to jump into it. Each project keeps its own terminals. (Every shortcut here is a default — customize any of them in Settings → Keyboard.)

Terminal tabs

Run more than one thing at once with tabs — click + for a new one, and switch with ⌃Tab. Tabs name themselves after what's running (like "Claude Code"), or double-click a title to rename it. A spinner on a tab means an agent is busy working there.

Launchers

Launchers are one-keystroke ways to open a new terminal with something already running. Flywrite ships with three — Terminal (a plain shell), Claude Code, and Codex — on ⌃1–⌃3 by default. Add your own or edit them in Settings → Terminal.

Put it where you like

The terminal can dock to the bottom, left, or right of the editor — change it in Settings → Appearance → Layout. More in Appearance & themes.
