Read the status bar

The status bar shows the current terminal state and keeps common actions close to the workspace.

Terminal state

The left side can show:

• active renderer
• GPU state
• link detection
• gradient state
• default terminal size
• active tab position
• visible pane count
• layout performance metrics

Click the renderer label to switch between WebGL preferred and Canvas only.

Zoom controls

Use the zoom controls to change terminal text size:

• - zooms out
• the size button resets to the configured default
• + zooms in

These controls use the same terminal zoom behavior as the app menu.

AI and automation actions

The status bar includes:

• AI Debug: shows AI request and response details when enabled
• Feedback: opens the feedback form
• Agent Inst.: copies local agent-control instructions
• AI Help: opens the detached AI Help window
• Share: opens native share or copies share text, when available

If automation is locked in your build, Agent Inst. shows a locked notification instead of copying setup text.

Renderer labels

Renderer labels mean:

• webgl: GPU-backed terminal rendering is active
• canvas: the terminal is using the canvas renderer
• GPU fallback: WebGL was requested but the runtime fell back
• GPU off: GPU acceleration is disabled

Fallbacks can happen because of graphics driver behavior, browser runtime limits, or a lost WebGL context.

Current limits

Current user-visible limits:

• AI Help depends on the provider and model you configure
• Agent Mode and automation may be gated by preview or entitlement state
• Shader Lab effects depend on working WebGL support
• website tabs cannot override remote sites that block embedding
• buttonsclictl reads recent output, not infinite terminal history
• the effect plugin system is internal, not a user plugin marketplace

These docs describe shipped behavior, not roadmap ideas.
