Working with files

Open files from the terminal, preview artifacts inline, and edit documents.

taiku doesn't limit you to raw terminal text. When a session produces files, paths, or documents, you can open them right inside the workspace. This page splits into two:

Open a file from the terminal

When a command prints a path, you can click it instead of copying it into another tool. taiku resolves relative paths against the shell's working directory, then opens the target: as a preview if it's a file, or as a new shell rooted there if it's a directory.

For everything that opens from there (supported preview types, streamed previews for large media, and tile vs. overlay placement), see File previews. For writing and editing markdown and MDX, see Documents.
