Chord

A key combination bound to a console command, written mod+k, where mod is Cmd on macOS and Ctrl elsewhere, so one binding fits both. Every chord is rebindable (Settings > Keybindings), and a command remains reachable from the command bar whether or not it has one.

Elsewhere

In Emacs a chord or key sequence is several keys pressed one after another (C-x C-f). A console chord is one combination pressed at once.

Command barThe console's runner: one searchable list of every command and its chord, opened with mod+k. It is the discoverable route to any action: the menus and chords dispatch the same commands it does. PaneA split within a tab. Splitting divides the focused pane along its longer side, so the same action tiles side-by-side on a desktop and stacks on a phone; a tab with no split is a single pane. Drag the divider to re-weight the split. Console appOne of the console applications (Runs, Log Viewer, Graph Explorer, Dashboard, Activity Trail, Settings), mounted into a tab or a pane. Each is single-instance. ConsoleThe browser app that reads a magus workspace: a tabbed, tiling page hosting the log viewer, graph explorer, dashboard, and activity trail. It is a separate static app, not something the daemon serves; the daemon exposes a loopback API it calls: read-only views plus one bearer-gated job-control service for maintenance jobs.

Conventions

Placeholders

Angle brackets mark a value you replace with your own; never type the brackets:

magus run <target>
magus completion <shell>    # e.g. bash, zsh, fish

<target>, <path>, <shell>, <name> and the like are stand-ins, not literal text.
