Quick Commands

Quick Commands let you save common commands as reusable actions, then send them to the current terminal from inside the workspace.

Good use cases

• Frequently repeated operational commands
• Deployment or troubleshooting scripts with parameters
• Organizing commands by product, environment, or team
• Placing risky commands into the prompt first so you can review them before execution

Create a quick command

1. Open the Quick Commands area in the bottom helper section or side panel
2. Click Add
3. Fill in the command details in the dedicated child window

Available fields include:

Field	Description
Label	Display name for the command
Category	Command grouping
Description	Optional note
Color Tag	Custom display color
Icon	Custom icon
Pin to Top	Whether it stays near the top of the list
Execution Mode	Execute immediately or append to the input line
Command Script	The command text to send

After saving, the command appears in the list and can still be edited or deleted later.

Execution modes

Execute immediately

Clicking the command sends it to the current terminal and runs it at once. Good for:

• Well-understood routine commands
• Daily inspection tasks
• Fixed-format read-only queries

Append to prompt

Clicking the command only inserts it into the current input line without pressing Enter. Good for:

• Commands whose parameters still need checking
• Script fragments that usually need a small edit
• Higher-risk operations that should be reviewed manually first

Variable prompts

Command scripts support {{variableName}} placeholders for dynamic parameters, for example:

docker exec -it {{container_name}} bash

When you run the command, NyaTerm opens a variable input dialog so the template can be completed before sending it.

Categories, search, and pinned items

The Quick Commands panel supports these management patterns:

• Search by label, command content, or description
• Filter by category from the dropdown
• Keep pinned commands at the top
• Reuse existing categories when creating new commands

That makes it useful for organizing sets like:

• Kubernetes
• Docker
• Database
• Release scripts
• Environment inspection

How it fits the workspace

Quick Commands are not tied to one specific session type. As long as the current terminal can accept input, you can send commands to:

• SSH sessions
• Local Terminal sessions
• Some serial workflows that need repeated fixed input

Common combinations include:

• Watching logs on one side while triggering diagnostics from Quick Commands on the other
• Running deploy commands remotely while building or using Git locally
• Turning variable-based commands into team-friendly templates
