# Split Terminal

> View multiple agent outputs side by side

Monitor multiple running agents simultaneously with the split terminal view.

## Activating Split View

1. Open terminal logs for two or more tasks (click "Logs" on task cards or start multiple tasks)
2. In the bottom terminal panel, look for the split icons on the **right side** of the tab bar
3. Click **Columns** (||) for side-by-side split
4. Click **Rows** (=) for top-bottom split

## Split Modes

| Mode           | Icon                    | Layout                     |
| -------------- | ----------------------- | -------------------------- |
| **Vertical**   | `\|\|`                  | Two terminals side by side |
| **Horizontal** | `=`                     | Two terminals stacked      |
| **Off**        | Click active icon again | Single terminal            |

## Tab Management

* Each open task has its own tab in the tab bar
* **Primary pane** — highlighted with the accent color border
* **Split pane** — highlighted with a purple border
* Click a tab to assign it to the active pane
* When split is active, clicking an unassigned tab moves it to the split pane

## Controls

* **Resize** — drag the top edge of the terminal panel to adjust height
* **Layout toggle** — switch between bottom panel and side panel modes
* **Close tab** — click the × on any tab to close it (closing a split tab exits split mode)

<Tip>Split buttons appear disabled (grayed out) when only one tab is open. Open a second task's logs to enable splitting.</Tip>

## Best Practices

* Use split view when running parallel tasks in orchestration mode
* Combine with the **Orchestration View** to monitor the DAG while watching agent output
* Vertical split works best for wide screens, horizontal for narrower displays
