MARK MODE
Keyboard-driven cursor navigation and selection. Navigate, select, and copy without the mouse.
Enter Mark Mode
Press Ctrl+Shift+M to enter mark mode. A visible cursor appears that you can move independently through the terminal content — scrollback included. Press Escape to exit without copying, or Enter to copy the selection and exit.
Cursor Movement
Navigate with standard keys:
- Arrow keys — Move cursor left, right, up, down
- Ctrl+Left / Ctrl+Right — Move by word
- Home / End — Jump to start / end of line
- Ctrl+Home / Ctrl+End — Jump to start / end of buffer
- PageUp / PageDown — Scroll by page
Selection
Hold Shift with any movement key to extend the selection. The selection uses ori-term's 3-point anchor/pivot/end model for precise character-level selection.
- Shift+Arrow — Extend selection by character or line
- Ctrl+Shift+Left / Ctrl+Shift+Right — Extend selection by word
- Ctrl+A — Select entire buffer
Copy and Exit
- Enter — Copy selected text to clipboard and exit mark mode
- Escape — Exit mark mode without copying, clear selection
- Ctrl+Shift+M — Toggle mark mode off
Auto-Scroll
The viewport scrolls automatically to keep the mark cursor visible as you navigate through scrollback.
