Keyboard shortcuts

Key keyboard shortcuts available in Websh terminal.

Copy and paste

Copy and paste behavior depends on your operating system and the Copy and paste preset you choose in Websh settings (default: Standard).

macOS

Windows and Linux (Standard preset)

Ctrl+C with a selection: On Windows, Ctrl+C copies the current selection by default; with nothing selected it still sends the interrupt signal, same as always. This can be turned on for Linux or off for Windows in Websh settings. It isn’t available on macOS, which uses ⌘C instead.

PuTTY preset: Selecting text with the mouse copies it immediately, and right-click pastes—no keyboard shortcut needed.

Safari and Firefox: Pasting with a shortcut or right-click may show a Paste button near your cursor instead of pasting right away—click it to allow the paste. If you dismiss it without clicking, nothing is pasted; use the shortcut again, or right-click and choose Paste from the browser menu.

Multi-line paste: Pasting text with more than one line asks for confirmation first, since each line runs as soon as it’s pasted. Turn this off with Confirm multi-line paste in Websh settings.

Zoom and open links

A plain click on a link in the terminal output does nothing—this avoids opening links by accident while you work.
