BANDURA Early access

The built-in terminal

A shell in the bottom panel, opened at your workspace root — handy for git, curl, and the Bandura CLI.

Bandura ships a simple shell in the bottom panel so quick commands — git status, a stray curl, bandura run — don’t need a window switch.

Opening it

Press ⌃` (Ctrl+backtick) to toggle the terminal directly, or open the bottom panel (⌘J) and pick the Terminal tab. The session starts in your workspace root.

Using it

  • Type a command, press Enter — output streams below, with errors in red.
  • ↑/↓ walk your command history for the session.
  • The prompt shows the working directory; cd works and persists within the session.

What it isn’t

This is a lightweight command runner, not a full terminal emulator — there’s no PTY behind it. That means:

  • Non-interactive commands work fine: ls, git, npm run, curl, bandura run.
  • Full-screen or interactive programs (vim, htop, anything that prompts and redraws) won’t behave.
  • There’s no Ctrl+C signal — interrupting kills the session and starts a fresh one in the same directory.

For anything heavier, your regular terminal is one ⌘Tab away — and because flows are plain files, bandura run works the same from either.
