Notes

  • Setting changes apply on next terminal open — existing terminals are not retro-resized.
  • The shell inherits the remote user’s login environment. If $SHELL resolves to something unusable, override Shell command with --noprofile --norc flags to recover.
  • Scrollback is in-memory only. For persistent history, use a remote tmux session.
