Tabs & Splits

Frostty is built for multi-task terminal workflows.

Tabs

• Cmd + T: open a new tab
• Drag and drop tabs to reorder
• Cmd + 1 to Cmd + 9: jump to tab by index
• Cmd + Shift + T: restore a closed tab

Split Panes

• Cmd + D: split current tab pane
• Run different commands side-by-side in one tab
• Resize panes by dragging the divider
• Cmd + Up / Cmd + Down: move focus between panes

Recommended Workflow

1. Keep one tab per task (frontend, backend, tests, git).
2. Use splits inside a tab for related commands (server + logs, tests + watch mode).
3. Keep long-running commands in dedicated panes.
4. Use profiles so each new tab starts in the right shell and directory.
