⌘⇧K Clear scrollback
⌘= Font size bigger

Text editing

Fleet sets optionAsMetaKey = false by default, so ⌥3 types # the way it does everywhere else on macOS. Word motion still works:

Shortcut Action
⌥← / ⌥→ Move by word
⌥⌫ Delete previous word

If you would rather have Option send Meta — for Emacs bindings in a shell, say — turn that on under Settings → Terminal.

Mouse

  • ⌘-click a URL or file path in the scrollback to open it
  • Hover a sidebar row to preview that session
  • Drag rows to reorder within a group
  • Right-click a row for colour, rename and group actions
  • Drag and drop an image or file onto a session to paste it in
