Terminal > Blocks
Bookmarks & navigation
Mark important blocks and find them again fast.
Bookmarks let you mark a block worth returning to — the command that finally worked, the error you need to show someone, the output you'll want after fifty more commands scroll by.
Toggling a bookmark
Two ways, both acting on the block in question:
- Select the block and press ctrl+B (the shortcut works whenever the prompt input doesn't have focus).
- Right-click the block (or click its ⋮ header icon) and choose Toggle bookmark.
When a block is bookmarked, the menu row shows a ✓ in place of the shortcut hint, so you can always tell the current state before toggling.
Behavior
- Bookmarks are per-block and per-session — they mark blocks in the current pane's scrollback.
- Bookmarking doesn't change how the block renders in the list; it's a flag you check and toggle through the menu. Selection, filtering, and all other block actions work on bookmarked blocks exactly as on any other.
- Sessions keep up to 5,000 blocks (see Blocks); if a bookmarked block ages past the cap it is pruned like any other.
When to use bookmarks vs. alternatives
| You want to… | Use |
|---|---|
| Flag a block to come back to in this session | Bookmark (ctrl+B) |
| Reuse the command later, anywhere | Save as workflow (💾) — it lands in Mel Drive |
| Hand the output to the agent | Attach as agent context (📎) or ctrl+up-arrow at the prompt |
| Find a line inside the block right now | The 🔽 filter bar |
