What problem does it solve?
DanTerm’s app UI can’t easily be controlled from automated or agent-driven shell workflows, so you need a reliable way to create tabs/panes, route commands, and query results without depending on what’s currently focused.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Tab and pane management: Create, rename, focus, and split tabs/panes with explicit targeting so your actions don’t depend on UI focus.
- Remote command execution: Launch commands in new tabs or split panes using the app’s
--cmd flow, keeping stdout attached for interactive tools when needed.
- Cross-pane interaction: Read output from another pane, send key sequences into a pane, and manage DanTerm todos (list/add/edit/complete/open/delete/clear-completed).
- Theme switching: Set or clear the theme for a specific pane.
Quick Start
Run the command danterm tab new --group <group-id> --cmd "vim notes.md" --title notes to open a new DanTerm tab and launch Vim inside it.
