The inspector is Termio's side panel for everything around the terminal: files, changes, and search. It sits beside your sessions so you can glance at code without switching apps.
Files
The file tree mirrors the working directory. Single-click a file to open it in a built-in editor with syntax highlighting, soft-wrap, and a live line/column readout. Edits auto-save — there's no save button. Images, PDFs, and HTML open in a Quick Look preview instead.
Changes
The git pane has two read-only tabs:
- Changes — the current diff, rendered as a clean unified view.
- History — recent commits with author avatars, expandable file lists, and per-commit diffs.
It's deliberately read-only: writing to git (commit, push, PR) stays in the terminal, where the agent and your own commands already live.
Search
The inspector's Search tab runs a content search across the project (backed
by git grep) and jumps you straight to the matching line in the editor — it
searches inside files, not just filenames. This is the "find in files" you know
from an editor.
Looking for a file by name instead? That's Open Quickly
(⌘⇧O), which also jumps between sessions and recent projects.
Opening files from the terminal
Cmd-click a file path in terminal output — even inside an agent's TUI — and
Termio opens it in the editor. Cmd-click a URL to open it in your browser, or a
file:// link for a read-only preview overlay.
