# Terminals Terminals are cards in a stack. The active one is in front; the rest peek out behind it so you can see what's running. ## Card stack Each terminal runs your default shell in the task's worktree. Click a background card to bring it forward. When an agent runs in a card, its status (thinking or idle) shows on the card even when it is behind others. See [Harnesses](https://ouijit.com/docs/harnesses/). ## Keyboard shortcuts | Shortcut | Action | | --- | --- | | `⌘K` / `Ctrl+K` | Open the [command palette](https://ouijit.com/docs/palette/) | | `⌘I` / `Ctrl+I` | New terminal | | `⌘W` / `Ctrl+W` | Close terminal | | `⌘1`\-`⌘9` / `Ctrl+1`\-`Ctrl+9` | Select terminal by position | | `⌘⇧←` / `Ctrl+Shift+Left` | Previous stack page | | `⌘⇧→` / `Ctrl+Shift+Right` | Next stack page | | `⌘T` / `Ctrl+T` | Show or hide the kanban board | | `⌘N` / `Ctrl+N` | New task | | `⌘P` / `Ctrl+P` | Open the runner [panel](https://ouijit.com/docs/panels/) | | `⌘D` / `Ctrl+D` | Toggle the [diff panel](https://ouijit.com/docs/diff/) | ## Home view The home view shows every live terminal across all projects in one stack, grouped by project. Click a group's tab to bring it forward. Terminals that don't belong to a registered project appear as **Shell**. Press `⌘T` there to group by tag instead, and `⌘I` to open a shell in your home directory. When nothing is running, the home view offers to [resume your last session](https://ouijit.com/docs/resume/) and lists recent tasks so you can pick up where you left off. ## Tag terminals Tag a terminal from the tag button on its card. Tags belong to the task, so every terminal of the task carries them. Use tags to slice what's running: - **Project view**. A filter pill next to the toolbar buttons shows only matching cards. It appears once any session carries a tag. - **Home view**. The tag control groups sessions by tag, or filters to one tag. Untagged sessions group under **Untagged**. Manage tags from the shell or an agent with [`ouijit tag`](https://ouijit.com/docs/cli/).
