Terminal

The built-in Terminal gives you a full OS shell inside Own DevStudio.

Run any command you’d normally run in your system terminal — Git, Node, Python, Docker, build tools, package managers, etc.

⌨️ Keyboard & Clipboard

• Interrupt a running process: Ctrl + C
• Clear screen: clear or Ctrl + L
• Paste:
  • Linux: Ctrl+Shift+V (Tested 100% working)
  • macOS: ⌘+C / ⌘+V (Not tested)
  • Windows: Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V (most shells)(Not tested)

If Ctrl+C kills the process instead of copying, use the OS variant or select and right click + menu copy/paste.

🛠️ Troubleshooting

• command not found → Verify it’s installed and on PATH (restart the terminal after installing).
• permission denied → Use chmod +x <file> for scripts, or sudo where appropriate.
• stuck process → Press Ctrl+C to stop it.
• long output → Pipe or page: command | less, grep, tee, etc.
• wrong folder → cd to your project root; confirm with pwd.
