Shell Integration

Damson treats your session as structured output, not just a wall of text. With shell prompt marks (OSC 133) it knows where each command begins and ends, which unlocks navigation that works by command instead of by line.

Navigate by prompt

Action	Shortcut
Jump to previous prompt	`⌘↑`
Jump to next prompt	`⌘↓`
Copy last command output	`⌘⇧C`

Jump straight to where your last build started, or grab the entire output of the previous command without selecting it by hand.

Find in scrollback

Press ⌘F to open a find overlay and search your scrollback live, stepping through matches with Find Next / Find Previous.

Clickable URLs

Damson detects URLs in your output — including URLs that wrap across multiple rows — and makes them clickable, without gluing the following line onto a URL that happens to end mid-line.

⌘-click file paths

⌘-click a file path in the terminal output to open it. Damson recognizes a wide range of forms:

Relative paths like Sources/App.swift
Absolute paths like /usr/local/bin/tool
Paths with a line number like file.swift:42 (and it jumps to the line)
Tool-style references such as Claude Code’s ⏺ Update(docs/DESIGN.md)

Paths are resolved against the session’s working directory, and only real, existing files are made clickable — so you won’t chase dead links.

These features rely on your shell emitting OSC 133 prompt marks. Most modern shell-integration snippets (for zsh, bash, fish) set them up; once they’re in place, prompt navigation and “copy last output” light up automatically.

tmux control mode

Damson can speak tmux control mode: a real tmux session is driven through Damson’s native tabs and panes, so multiplexed sessions feel like first-class Damson windows rather than text inside a terminal. See docs/TMUX-INTEGRATION.md in the repository for the details.
