Copy & paste in the terminal

The terminal treats the clipboard differently from a text editor, so the usual shortcuts keep working the way a shell expects:

  • Ctrl+C is context-aware. With text selected, it copies the selection. With no selection, it falls through to the shell as the interrupt signal (SIGINT) — the same as pressing Ctrl+C in any terminal. Use Ctrl+Shift+C when you always want to copy and never interrupt.
  • Copy on select. Highlighting text with the mouse copies it automatically. Toggle this in Settings → Terminal.
  • Right-click pastes the clipboard at the cursor.

Undo & redo

Voltius keeps an undo history for changes you make to your data — hosts, folders, SSH keys, identities, snippets, and team members. Press Ctrl+Z to undo the last change and Ctrl+Shift+Z (or Ctrl+Y) to redo it. Up to 50 recent actions are remembered.

Text fields have their own undo stack: while typing in an input or text area, Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Shift+Z undo and redo your edits there instead.

The terminal itself has no undo — Ctrl+Z inside a session is passed straight to the remote shell (job control / SIGTSTP).
