Mobile

taiku works on phones and tablets with a touch-optimized interface. Join any session from a mobile browser — no app install required.

Single-tile view

On mobile, one terminal is visible at a time. Swipe left or right to switch between terminals, or tap the dot navigation bar at the bottom.

Touch keyboard

A special keyboard bar appears above the virtual keyboard with keys that are hard to reach on mobile:

• Quick keys — Esc, Tab, -, |, /, ~ as single taps
• Fan menus — hold a key group to expand options, then swipe to select:
  • Control combos: Ctrl+C, Ctrl+D, Ctrl+Z, Ctrl+L, Ctrl+R
  • Arrow keys and word navigation
  • Selection and clipboard actions

Quick-tap repeats the last-used option from each group. Hold to see all options.

Text selection

Three selection modes, toggled from the keyboard bar:

• Off — normal terminal interaction
• Line mode — drag to select full lines
• Character mode — drag to select individual characters

Selected text is automatically copied to the clipboard.

Responsive panels

Peek, tunnels, and chat panels appear as bottom sheets on mobile — swipe up to expand, tap outside to dismiss. The file viewer goes full-screen.

Viewport handling

The layout adjusts dynamically when the virtual keyboard opens, keeping the active terminal visible without overlap. taiku tracks the actual visible viewport height rather than relying on CSS viewport units.
