Chapter 12
The bottom dock
The dock slides up from the bottom like the VS Code integrated terminal. Toggle it with Ctrl+`, the ▦ toolbar button, or Session → Show terminal. Drag the small centred grip above it to resize (120–600 px).
#12.1Dock tabs
Data Grid is permanent. Four more panels can be added and removed individually:
| Tab | Contents |
|---|---|
| Data Grid | Query results (chapter 17). A badge shows the row count. |
| Terminal | SQL*Plus-style console (chapter 33). |
| Sessions | The full Session Browser (chapter 25). |
| Storage | The full Storage Browser (chapter 27). |
| Live Metrics | Live CPU / memory / sessions / wait events (§26.2). |
Add a panel with the + button in the tab strip; remove one with the × on its own tab. The set of open tabs is remembered between launches. The × at the far right closes the entire dock.
#12.2Terminal groups and splits
The Terminal tab has its own sub-toolbar:
| Control | Shortcut | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| + New Terminal | Ctrl+Shift+` | Adds a new terminal group as a sub-tab. |
| ⫲ Split Terminal | Ctrl+Shift+5 | Splits the active group into side-by-side consoles. |
| ⧉ New Terminal Window | Ctrl+Shift+Alt+` | Opens a standalone terminal in its own OS window. |
| × on a sub-tab | — | Kills that terminal group. |
Every group stays mounted while the Terminal tab is open, so scrollback and each console’s session survive switching between them.
Running a query automatically opens the dock and focuses the Data Grid.
