Integrated Terminal

A lightweight integrated terminal for Obsidian, embedded directly in your workspace.

Usage

• Use the command palette to run Integrated Terminal: Toggle terminal or Open new terminal
• Click the terminal icon in the ribbon (left sidebar)

Recommended setup

For a VS Code-like experience, add these keybindings in Settings > Hotkeys:

Command	Hotkey
Integrated Terminal: Toggle terminal	Ctrl + ``

To free up Ctrl+P for the command palette (like VS Code), add this to your .obsidian/hotkeys.json:

{
	"command-palette:open": [
		{
			"modifiers": ["Mod", "Shift"],
			"key": "P"
		}
	],
	"switcher:open": [
		{
			"modifiers": ["Mod"],
			"key": "P"
		}
	]
}

Features

• Integrated terminal — open a terminal panel directly inside Obsidian
• Shell selection — choose from platform-detected presets (PowerShell, pwsh, CMD, Git Bash, WSL, Bash, Zsh) or specify a custom shell path in settings
• Multiple terminal tabs — run several sessions side-by-side with rename support (right-click tab → Rename)
• Theme sync — terminal colors automatically adapt to your Obsidian theme, including dark/light mode changes
• Configurable font — adjust terminal font size and family in settings
• .claude dotfolder sidebar — browse and edit files from the .claude folder that Obsidian's native explorer hides, with auto-refresh on changes
