-# Terminal Setup
+# Configure your terminal
 
-Pi uses the [Kitty keyboard protocol](https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/keyboard-protocol/) for reliable modifier key detection. Most modern terminals support this protocol, but some require configuration.
+Most modern terminals work with Pi without additional setup. Use this page when modified keys, scrolling, links, images, colors, or input-method editor (IME) positioning do not behave as expected.
 
-## Capability Overrides
+Pi uses extended-key protocols so terminals can distinguish combinations such as `Shift+Enter` and `Alt+Enter` from plain `Enter`. Terminal proxies, multiplexers, and built-in IDE terminals can change or discard that information.
 
-Pi auto-detects OSC 8 hyperlinks, inline image protocols, and truecolor. If detection fails behind a terminal proxy or multiplexer, use these advanced overrides:
+## Troubleshooting
 
-| Capability | Environment variable | JSON setting |
-|------------|----------------------|--------------|
-| OSC 8 hyperlinks | `PI_HYPERLINKS=1\|0\|auto` | `terminal.hyperlinks: true\|false\|"auto"` |
-| Inline images | `PI_IMAGE_PROTOCOL=kitty\|iterm2\|none\|auto` | `terminal.images: "kitty"\|"iterm2"\|false\|"auto"` |
-| Truecolor | `PI_TRUE_COLOR=1\|0\|auto` | `terminal.trueColor: true\|false\|"auto"` |
+| Symptom | Start here |
+|---|---|
+| `Shift+Enter` submits instead of inserting a line | Your terminal's section below; for tmux, see [Run Pi in tmux](tmux.md) |
+| `Alt+Enter` does not queue a follow-up | [WezTerm](#wezterm), [Alacritty](#alacritty), or [Windows Terminal](#windows-terminal) |
+| Fullscreen scrolling is unusually slow | [iTerm2](#iterm2) |
+| Links work but show no hover preview | [Ghostty](#ghostty) |
+| Inline images or colors are not detected | [Override detected capabilities](#override-detected-capabilities) |
+| An IME candidate window appears in the wrong place | [WezTerm](#wezterm) or [IntelliJ IDEA](#intellij-idea-integrated-terminal) |
+| Modified keys fail only inside tmux | [Run Pi in tmux](tmux.md) |
 
-Settings take precedence over environment variables; unset or `auto` preserves detection. Only force capabilities supported by the complete terminal path, since unsupported escape sequences can corrupt rendering.
+Use `/hotkeys` to inspect Pi's active shortcuts. See [Keybindings](keybindings.md) to change them.
 
 ## Kitty
 
-Works out of the box.
+Kitty supports the required keyboard protocol without additional configuration.
 
 ## iTerm2
 
-### Regular TUI mode
-
-Works out of the box.
+Regular terminal mode works without additional configuration.
 
-### Fullscreen TUI mode
+### Fix slow fullscreen scrolling
 
-Pi owns the viewport, so iTerm2 sends mouse-wheel reports instead of scrolling its native scrollback. With iTerm2's default fast-trackpad behavior, those reports can lose most of an accelerated wheel delta, making fullscreen scrolling much slower than regular scrolling.
+In fullscreen mode, Pi owns the viewport, so iTerm2 sends mouse-wheel reports instead of scrolling native terminal history. Fast trackpad gestures can then move only about one line at a time.
 
-If fast mouse-wheel gestures move only about one line at a time in fullscreen mode:
+To change this behavior:
 
-1. Open **iTerm2 → Settings → Advanced**.
-2. Search for **Trackpad scrolls fast?** and set it to **No**.
+1. Open **iTerm2 > Settings > Advanced**.
+2. Search for **Trackpad scrolls fast?**.
+3. Set it to **No**.
 
-This is an iTerm2-wide workaround and may also change native trackpad scrolling. The underlying behavior is tracked in [iTerm2 issue 9619](https://gitlab.com/gnachman/iterm2/-/work_items/9619).

 ## Ghostty
 
-Add to your Ghostty config (`~/Library/Application Support/com.mitchellh.ghostty/config` on macOS, `~/.config/ghostty/config` on Linux):
+Add this mapping to Ghostty's configuration if `Alt+Backspace` does not work:
 
-```
+```text
 keybind = alt+backspace=text:\x1b\x7f
 ```
 
-Older Claude Code versions may have added this Ghostty mapping:
+The configuration file is `~/Library/Application Support/com.mitchellh.ghostty/config` on macOS and `~/.config/ghostty/config` on Linux.
 
-```
+Older Claude Code configurations may contain:
+
+```text
 keybind = shift+enter=text:\n
 ```
 
-That mapping sends a raw linefeed byte. Inside pi, that is indistinguishable from `Ctrl+J`, so tmux and pi no longer see a real `shift+enter` key event.
-
-If Claude Code 2.x or newer is the only reason you added that mapping, you can remove it, unless you want to use Claude Code in tmux, where it still requires that Ghostty mapping.
-
-Pi binds `Ctrl+J` as a default newline alias, so `Shift+Enter` keeps working in tmux via that remap without extra pi configuration.
+This sends a raw linefeed, which Pi cannot distinguish from `Ctrl+J`. Remove the mapping if an older Claude Code installation is the only reason you added it. Pi already binds `Ctrl+J` as a newline alternative, so the mapping may appear to work while still preventing Pi and tmux from receiving a real `Shift+Enter` event.
 
-### Fullscreen TUI mode
+### Open links in fullscreen mode
 
-In fullscreen mode, links remain clickable, but Ghostty does not show its hover underline or lower-left URL preview while pi captures mouse input. Hold `Shift+Command` on macOS or `Shift+Ctrl` on Linux to use Ghostty's native link handling.

-- [iTerm2](https://iterm2.com/)

-# Termux (Android) Setup
+# Run Pi on Android with Termux
 
-Pi runs on Android via [Termux](https://termux.dev/), a terminal emulator and Linux environment for Android.
+Pi runs on Android through [Termux](https://termux.dev/), a terminal emulator and Linux environment. Text input, file tools, and shell commands are supported. Pi can copy and paste text through the Android clipboard with Termux:API. Clipboard image paste is not supported.
 
-## Prerequisites
+## Before you begin
 
-1. Install [Termux](https://github.com/termux/termux-app#installation) from GitHub or F-Droid (not Google Play, that version is deprecated)
-2. Install [Termux:API](https://github.com/termux/termux-api#installation) from GitHub or F-Droid for clipboard and other device integrations
+Install Termux from [GitHub or F-Droid](https://github.com/termux/termux-app#installation). Do not use the deprecated Google Play build.
 
-## Installation
+[Termux:API](https://github.com/termux/termux-api#installation) is optional. Install it only when you want Pi to copy or paste Android clipboard text, or when shell commands need Android device APIs.
 
-```bash
-# Update packages
-pkg update && pkg upgrade
+## Install Pi
 
-# Install dependencies
-pkg install nodejs termux-api git
+1. Update Termux packages:
 
-# Install pi
-npm install -g --ignore-scripts @earendil-works/pi-coding-agent
+   ```bash
+   pkg update && pkg upgrade
+   ```
 
-# Create config directory
-mkdir -p ~/.pi/agent
+2. Install Node.js and Git:
 
-# Run pi
-pi
-```
+   ```bash
+   pkg install nodejs git
+   ```
 
-## Clipboard Support
+3. Install Pi:
 
-Clipboard operations use `termux-clipboard-set` and `termux-clipboard-get` when running in Termux. The Termux:API app must be installed for these to work.
+   ```bash
+   npm install -g --ignore-scripts @earendil-works/pi-coding-agent
+   ```
 
-Image clipboard is not supported on Termux (the `ctrl+v` image paste feature will not work).
+4. Verify the installation:
 
-## Example AGENTS.md for Termux
+   ```bash
+   pi --version
+   ```
 
-Create `~/.pi/agent/AGENTS.md` to help the agent understand the Termux environment:
+5. Open the folder you want to work in and start Pi:
 
-````markdown
-# Agent Environment: Termux on Android
+   ```bash
+   cd /path/to/working-folder
+   pi
+   ```
 
-## Location
-- **OS**: Android (Termux terminal emulator)
-- **Home**: `/data/data/com.termux/files/home`
-- **Prefix**: `/data/data/com.termux/files/usr`
-- **Shared storage**: `/storage/emulated/0` (Downloads, Documents, etc.)
+Continue with the main [Quickstart](quickstart.md#3-choose-a-model) to connect a model and run your first task.
 
-## Opening URLs
-```bash
-termux-open-url "https://example.com"
-```
+## Access Android shared storage
 
-## Opening Files
-```bash
-termux-open file.pdf          # Opens with default app
-termux-open --chooser image.jpg      # Choose app
-```
+Termux cannot access shared Android storage until you grant permission. Run this once:
 
-## Clipboard
 ```bash
-termux-clipboard-set "text"   # Copy
-termux-clipboard-get          # Paste
+termux-setup-storage
 ```
 
-## Notifications
-```bash
-termux-notification -t "Title" -c "Content"
-```
+After approval, Android shared storage is available under `/storage/emulated/0` and through the links Termux creates under `~/storage/`.
 
-## Device Info
-```bash
-termux-battery-status         # Battery info
-termux-wifi-connectioninfo    # WiFi info
-termux-telephony-deviceinfo   # Device info
-```
+Only grant this permission when Pi should be able to access those files. Commands and tools running in Termux use the same storage permissions as the Termux process.
+
+## Use clipboard commands
+
+Pi uses `termux-clipboard-set` to copy text and `termux-clipboard-get` for its clipboard-paste shortcut. Shell commands can use both commands directly. Install the Termux:API app and its command-line package:
 
-## Sharing
 ```bash
-termux-share -a send file.txt # Share file
+pkg install termux-api
 ```
 
-## Other Useful Commands
+Verify the integration:
+
 ```bash
-termux-toast "message"        # Quick toast popup
-termux-vibrate                # Vibrate device
-termux-tts-speak "hello"      # Text to speech
-termux-camera-photo out.jpg   # Take photo
+printf 'Pi clipboard test' | termux-clipboard-set
+termux-clipboard-get
 ```
 
-## Notes
-- Termux:API app must be installed for `termux-*` commands
-- Use `pkg install termux-api` for the command-line tools
-- Storage permission needed for `/storage/emulated/0` access
-````
+The second command should print `Pi clipboard test`.
+
+The Termux clipboard API supports text only. Pi's clipboard-paste shortcut inserts that text into the editor but cannot attach clipboard images.
+
+## Add Termux-specific instructions
+
+Pi detects that it is running in Termux, but it cannot infer how you want it to interact with Android. Add only the environment details relevant to your work to `~/.pi/agent/AGENTS.md`:
 
-## Limitations
+````markdown
+# Termux environment
+
+- Pi runs in Termux on Android.
+- Shared Android storage is under `/storage/emulated/0`.
+- Open URLs with `termux-open-url "https://example.com"`.
+- Open files with `termux-open <path>`.
+- Do not access shared storage unless the task requires it.
+````
 
-- **No image clipboard**: Termux clipboard API only supports text
-- **Storage access**: To access files in `/storage/emulated/0` (Downloads, etc.), run `termux-setup-storage` once to grant permissions
+Run `/reload` after changing the file during an active session.
 
 ## Troubleshooting
 
-### Clipboard not working
+### Clipboard integration fails
 
-Ensure both apps are installed:
-1. Termux (from GitHub or F-Droid)
-2. Termux:API (from GitHub or F-Droid)
+Confirm that you installed both components:
 
-Then install the CLI tools:
-```bash
-pkg install termux-api
-```
+1. The Termux:API Android app from the same source as Termux
+2. The `termux-api` command-line package
 
-### Permission denied for shared storage
+Then run the clipboard verification commands above outside Pi. If they fail there, fix the Termux:API installation before retrying Pi's copy command.
 
-Run once to grant storage permissions:
-```bash
-termux-setup-storage
-```
+### Shared storage reports permission denied
+
+Run `termux-setup-storage`, approve the Android permission request, and retry the path under `~/storage/` or `/storage/emulated/0`.
 
-### Node.js installation issues
+### Pi is not found after installation
+
+Open a new Termux shell and run:
 
-If npm fails, try clearing the cache:
 ```bash
-npm cache clean --force
+npm prefix -g
+command -v pi
 ```
+
+Confirm that the global npm binary directory is on `PATH`, then reinstall Pi if the package is missing.
