Scrollback & Copy
Scrolling
Section titled “Scrolling”Mouse/trackpad: just scroll over a pane. Full-screen apps (vim, TUI agents that take the whole pane) keep their own scrolling — bohay forwards the wheel to them; regular panes scroll bohay’s history (5 000 lines per pane).
Keyboard — scroll mode: press Shift+↑ (no prefix needed — it works
even where macOS eats Ctrl+Space). The status bar switches to SCROLL and
plain keys navigate without reaching the program in the pane:
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
1–9 | jump through history — 1 = oldest, 9 = newest |
j / k (or ↓/↑) | line down / up |
f / b (or Space/PageDn/PageUp) | page down / up |
g / G | top of history / live bottom |
q, Esc, 0 — or just typing | back to live |
While scrolled, a ↑N badge at the pane’s top-right shows how many lines
up you are, and anything you type snaps back to live first — you always see
what you’re typing.
Copying
Section titled “Copying”Drag across a pane to select; release auto-copies and flashes a Copied
toast. bohay writes both your native OS clipboard (pbcopy / wl-copy /
xclip / clip) and OSC 52 — so it works locally and over SSH.
