Solutions

Every command you ran, a search away

Find the command that fixed it last time on any server, see what it does, and run it again without retyping it.

Command history in Termiyo keeps each command you run over SSH with the server it ran on. Search it for one tab, one server or all of them, read a plain explanation of a command from the tldr pages bundled with Termiyo, put it back on your prompt to run with Enter, or save it as a snippet. Use it to find the command that fixed something last time. History is kept on your computer.

As you work over SSH, Termiyo keeps each command with the server it ran on. Command history lists them for this tab, this server or all of them, and a search finds one by its words. A command can go back on your prompt, untouched until you press Enter, or become a snippet.

Recorded in Termiyo against two test servers on the recording machine, answering as demo machines written for the recording.

Steps

  1. Search your history

    Open “Command history” from “All tools” (or its shortcut). Choose “All hosts” to see every server’s commands, each row naming its server, and type in the search box to narrow them.

  2. See what a command does

    Press ? on a row for a short, plain explanation of the command and its common options, read from the tldr pages bundled with Termiyo — nothing is sent anywhere.

  3. Run it again, or keep it

    Press a row to “Put this on the command line” of the terminal in front: it runs only when you press Enter. Press + to save it as a snippet.

Good to know

  • History is kept on this computer. To find it on your other devices too, turn on “Keep command history” in Settings › Sync; a command typed after a space, at a password prompt, or that looks like it holds a secret is never kept.

Transcript

Every command you ran, on every server, in one search.

Press the question mark for a plain explanation, before you run it again.

Put it back on your prompt for your own Enter, or keep it as a snippet.
