WindTerm - Keyboard / Remote Mode And Local Mode

Posted on Edited on In

Quick Start

There are two modes in WindTerm:

  • Remote Mode
    The remote mode is the default mode of WindTerm. In remote mode, every key pressed will send to the server just like others terminals.

  • Local Mode
    The local mode is mainly used for browsing the text. In local mode, every key pressed will be parsed locally instead of sending to the server.

    The local mode supports most navigation, scrolling, searching, copy and paste, selection and folding shortcuts of Vim.

    When WindTerm in local mode, it just acts like a readonly text editor, which is very convenient for text browsing. In particular, when the output is scrolling quickly and continuously, switching to the local mode can stop scrolling immediately for easy reading of the output.
