Termini

Terminal settings

Settings → Terminal applies to every session, unless a host sets its own theme or font.

Three palettes ship with Termini: Default, Termini Dark and Fleeq Black (near-black, to match the Fleeq interface theme). The preview under Palette shows each one. A terminal’s palette is independent of the interface theme: switching one never changes the other.

Choose the Font and Size; the preview shows the result. Any monospaced font installed on your Mac works.

Setting Turn on when
Use ⌥ as Meta you use Emacs-style shortcuts (⌥B, ⌥F) in the shell; Option then sends Esc-prefixed sequences instead of composing accented characters
Backspace sends ^H a host expects ^H instead of DEL (some network gear and old systems)
Bold text uses bright colours you want bold drawn brighter; off draws bold in the normal palette, as some prompts assume

Lines sets how many lines of output each session keeps — and therefore how far back search reaches. More lines use more memory per tab.
