Split panes

A terminal tab split into a 2×2 grid of four independent panes

Split a tab into a 2×2 grid — each pane is its own session (four SSH hosts here).

Splitting

Action How
Split side by side Right-click the pane header → Split → Split left / Split right
Split top / bottom Right-click the pane header → Split → Split top / Split bottom
Open another session in a pane Drag its tab from the title bar onto the pane (drop zones show where it lands)
Resize Drag the divider
Close a pane Pane header → × (or right-click → Close pane)

Panes nest — split a split, no depth limit.

Broadcast input

Three panes with broadcast active, the same command mirrored to all

Broadcast input — one keystroke stream goes to every pane in the tab (dotted accent borders show broadcast is on).

Click the broadcast icon in any pane header (Broadcast input), or right-click the tab → Broadcast input to all panes. Every keystroke goes to every connected pane in the tab — useful for running the same command on a fleet. A pane where someone else holds control in a shared session is left out.

While broadcast is on, pane borders turn dotted and headers take the accent tint. Click the broadcast icon again (Disable broadcast) to stop.

Warning

Broadcast is per-tab. Closing the tab clears the broadcast set.
