Termina 0.11.0 released

October 25, 2026 · 0.11.0

Termina 0.11.0 is the largest release yet. It brings split panes, search in the scrollback, shell integration, and shortcuts that can all be changed. Four things programs ask of a terminal are now honored instead of dropped: a declared link, the clipboard, the directory and a notification. Typing over a slow SSH link is predicted, programs can turn on the kitty keyboard protocol, and an idle terminal lets the machine idle.

Download

From the release page:

• macOS: the macos-arm64 DMG for Apple Silicon, macos-x64 for Intel. Open it and drag Termina to Applications.
• Windows (x64): the MSI.
• Linux (x64 and ARM64): the DEB (sudo apt install ./Termina-*.deb) or the RPM (sudo dnf install ./Termina-*.rpm).

Each bundles its own Java runtime. The builds are unsigned: on macOS allow the first launch under System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway, and on Windows choose More info → Run anyway if SmartScreen warns. Verify a download against checksums_sha256.txt.

Panes and search

• Split panes. Window → Split Right and Split Down (Ctrl+Shift+E and Ctrl+Shift+O, Cmd+D and Cmd+Shift+D on a Mac) open another shell beside or below the one you are in: the same shell, in the same directory. Ctrl+Alt+Shift+arrows (Cmd+Option+arrows) or a click moves between them, and the pane being typed in is outlined. Close Tab’s chord closes the active pane of a split tab.
• Maximize and move panes. Maximize Pane (Ctrl+Shift+Enter, Cmd+Shift+Enter) shows the active pane alone while the others keep running. Move Pane to New Tab, the palette, or a drag with Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Cmd+Option+Shift) moves a pane to another tab. Reopen Closed Tab brings back a split tab with every pane, arranged as it was.
• Search the scrollback. Edit → Find… (Ctrl+Shift+F, Cmd+F) opens a find bar in the pane. Every match is highlighted as you type, Enter steps up to older output and Shift+Enter steps down. The search uses smart case, can take a regular expression, and finds a word that wrapped at the edge of the window.
• Shell integration (OSC 133). A shell that marks its prompts gets Previous Prompt and Next Prompt (Ctrl+Shift+Up/Down, Cmd+Up/Down), Select Last Output, and a red bar beside the prompt of a command that failed. Search and prompts has the lines to add to bash and zsh.

Keys

• Every shortcut can be changed. Settings has a Keyboard page listing each command under its menu. Click a shortcut and press the new one. Commands without a shortcut, such as Rename Tab, can be given one. The menus, the palette, the shortcut reference and the tab strip’s tooltips change with it.
• Shortcuts sync between computers through a private Git repository you own (Settings → Sync). Macs share one list, and Windows and Linux share another. Bindings a sync replaces are backed up first, and a sync that would remove most of them stops and asks.
• The kitty keyboard protocol. Neovim, Vim, Helix, fish and nushell ask for it, and now get unambiguous keys: Escape on its own, Ctrl+I apart from Tab, and Shift+Enter as a key of its own. Nothing changes for a program that does not ask.

What programs ask for

• Declared links (OSC 8) from ls --hyperlink, compilers and gh can be clicked. Hovering one shows where it really goes, and a javascript: target is not a link.
• Copying to the clipboard (OSC 52), which is how vim and tmux copy over SSH. A program can write the clipboard, never read it.
• Desktop notifications (OSC 9 and OSC 777) mark their tab with a dot. They reach the desktop unless you are already looking at that pane.
• Type-ahead over slow SSH. When the far end echoes slower than 100 ms, typed characters appear at once, dimmed and underlined until they are confirmed.
• Windows tabs know their directory without help from the shell, so new tabs open there and relative paths become links.

Selection, themes and profiles

• Selection does more. Dragging past the top or bottom edge scrolls. Alt+drag (Option on a Mac) selects a block. Copy on select is a setting, and on Linux a selection is the PRIMARY selection that a middle-click pastes. A keystroke no longer clears the selection.
• Import a theme from iTerm2, Terminal, Windows Terminal, Ghostty, kitty or Alacritty, with the colors exactly as written.
• A profile can have its own font, size and theme, and the pane keeps them through splits, moves and reopening.
• Icons draw without a Nerd Font installed. Symbols Nerd Font Mono is bundled, so eza --icons draws correctly on any machine.

Quieter

• An idle terminal lets the machine idle. With one tab sitting at a prompt, CPU use went from 2–3% of a core to 0.8%.
• Background tabs stop painting until you switch to them, so a build in another tab no longer slows down the one you are typing in.
• The first window paints sooner, and a tab’s title costs microseconds to work out where it used to cost milliseconds.

Fixed, among others

• Closing one window of several left its shells running until the app quit.
• A stray ¯ or ÿ before some icons in eza and ls listings.
• A drag held while output scrolled extended the selection from the wrong text.
