Menu & Panels

The title bar, the menus, and the panel switches

The title bar runs across the top of the window: application menu on the left, window controls and the AI button on the right. The four menus — File, Edit, View, Info — are described below, one section each.

The title bar

The title bar runs across the top of the window. On the left it carries the application menu — File, Edit, View, Info. On the right it carries the window controls (minimize, maximize, close) and the AI button, which shows or hides the AI panel (see the AI Assistant chapter).

On macOS the same menu lives in the system menu bar at the top of the screen, where macOS users expect it (like Safari or VS Code). The in-app menu bar is hidden on macOS; the window controls are the native traffic-light dots on the left. On Linux and Windows the in-app menu bar stays visible and the window controls are buttons on the right.

File menu

  • New session — reset the workspace: disconnects the port, clears the terminal and the byte counters, starts a fresh chat.
  • Save terminal — writes the terminal contents to a file, the same as the Save button above the terminal (see the Terminal chapter).
  • Send file — pick a file and send it in one step, without touching the two buttons on the send bar. Greyed out while the port is closed, because there is nowhere to send it.
  • Exit — close the application.

Edit menu

  • Copy — copy selected terminal text. Works from the keyboard shortcut (Cmd/Ctrl+C) too, even when the terminal's own selection mechanism is what made the selection — the shortcut goes through the app menu so the native menu does not steal it.
  • Paste — paste into the command input.
  • Select all — select all terminal content, but only when the cursor is not in a text field.

View menu

  • Language — switch the UI language.
  • Theme — change the colour scheme.
  • UI Scale — submenu with a slider 50–150%, shortcuts Cmd/Ctrl++ / Cmd/Ctrl+ (5% steps) / Cmd/Ctrl+0 (reset to 100%).
  • Panels — show or hide sidebar sections: Connection, Macros, Triggers, Lua Script, Logging. A tick marks the ones currently shown. The terminal itself is not on the list — it has no switch and stays visible. Lua Script needs a subscription: without one the entry is still there but marked as requiring a plan.

Info menu

The fourth and last menu. It holds your account, the application settings and the two ways of finding out more — there is no separate Help menu, everything of that kind lives here.

  • My account — your licence and plan: what you are on, until when, and where to enter a key.
  • Pricing & Plans — the subscription options.
  • Settings… — opens the settings window (see the next section).
  • About — the version of the application you are running.
  • Online help — opens these pages in your browser.

The Settings window

Info → Settings… opens a window with three tabs. Other chapters point you here, so it is worth knowing what is inside:

  • Theme — the colour scheme, applied to every panel as you pick it.
  • Language — the interface language, applied straight away.
  • General — everything else:
    • Terminal buffer (MB) — how much port data the terminal keeps, 1 to 2048 MB (see the Terminal chapter).
    • Show system ports — on macOS, whether the kernel debug, Wi-Fi debug and Bluetooth ports appear in the port list (see the Serial Connection chapter).
    • Show AI examples animation — the typewriter effect on the AI panel's example questions.
    • Paste typing animation and its speed — pasted text appears character by character instead of all at once. Made for recording tutorials; 1 to 200 characters per second.
    • Reset all settings — removes every module's configuration: themes, language, port, macros, triggers, AI, licence. The window position stays, and the licence is recovered from the server. It asks before doing it.

AI button

The AI button on the right of the title bar shows or hides the AI panel — see the AI Assistant chapter.

Window controls

Minimize, maximize, close — the three buttons on the right (Windows/Linux) or the traffic-light dots on the left (macOS).

💡 On macOS the menu lives in the system menu bar at the top of the screen, where macOS users expect it — the in-app menu bar is hidden. The same actions, the same shortcuts.
