ICOR for Life - Terminal

A real terminal, in the pane next to your notes.

Your login shell in a tab or a split, and a one-command start for Claude Code already pointed at your vault.

Part of the ICOR for Life suite.

Read this before installing

A terminal is the largest capability a plugin can have. Nothing here should surprise you later, so it is stated first rather than buried:

• It runs programs on your machine, as you, with your permissions. Your login shell by default, or a command you set up, or claude.
• It reaches files outside your vault, because a shell does. Whatever you can open, it can open.
• It makes no network connection of its own. No telemetry, no update check. Whatever you run inside the shell is yours.
• It touches the clipboard only when you press the key. Copy and paste work as you expect. One optional setting, off by default, copies a selection as you make it.

If any of that is more than you want in your vault, do not install it. That is a reasonable decision and the plugin will not try to talk you out of it.

What it is for

Work that lives in the vault often needs a command run against the vault: a script, a git status, an AI session in the right folder. Switching to a separate terminal app means finding the right window and typing the right cd, every time.

Here the terminal is a pane like any other. It sits in Obsidian's tabs and splits, you rename it from its tab, and it comes back in the same folder after a reload.

Getting started

Open a terminal from the command palette. It starts in your vault folder.

The Claude Code launcher starts a session already in the right place, so you never start one against the wrong folder.

Good to know

• Desktop only, macOS and Linux. There is no terminal pane on Windows in this version.
• The command palette still works while the terminal has your keyboard, so you are never trapped in the pane.
• The shell belongs to Obsidian's window. Reloading, updating or quitting Obsidian ends it, the way closing a terminal window ends the shell inside it. Closing the lid does not, on its own; what you usually see after a sleep is Obsidian reloading on wake. The pane comes back and starts a fresh shell in the same folder, without the earlier output. For a job that has to survive that, start tmux or screen in the pane and run it there.
• INKLINE skins it, and it stays legible on any other theme.
• Beta. It runs in a real vault every day and it has rough edges. If something looks off, open an issue.
