Docs/Filter Mode

Filter Mode

Filter terminal output in real-time. Show only what matters.

Overview

Filter Mode lets you focus on specific lines in your terminal output by showing or hiding lines that match a pattern. This is non-destructive - the original buffer is preserved and filtering can be toggled on/off instantly.

Non-destructive

Filtering doesn't modify your data. Toggle it off anytime to see the full output.

Filter Modes

Show Matching

Only display lines that match your pattern. Perfect for finding specific log entries or tracking a particular process.

Hide Matching

Hide lines that match your pattern. Useful for removing noise like repeated status messages or verbose debugging output.

Using Filter

  1. 1

    Look for the filter input in the terminal toolbar (or status bar)

  2. 2

    Enter your filter pattern (text or regex)

  3. 3

    Choose Show or Hide mode

  4. 4

    View the match count to see how many lines are affected

Pattern Examples

PatternMatches
errorLines containing "error" (case-insensitive)
ERROR|WARNLines containing "ERROR" or "WARN"
^\[.*\]Lines starting with brackets (e.g., timestamps)
192\.168\.Lines containing local IP addresses
DEBUGLines containing "DEBUG" (use Hide mode to remove)

Pro tip

Combine Filter Mode with Pattern Highlighting to both filter and colorize important lines. They work independently and complement each other.
