Big Terminal Mode
Use a full terminal in the center panel
Big Terminal Mode replaces the center panel with a full terminal. Use it when you want a terminal-first workflow inside Conductor instead of launching only saved run scripts.
Open Big Terminal Mode with Command Shift T.
Enable Big Terminal Mode in Settings -> Experimental.
Behavior
- Terminal sessions restore after restart.
- New terminals can use presets to start common commands or tools.
- Big Terminal Mode can run any agent or command available in your terminal environment.
Agent presets
Big Terminal Mode is useful when you want to run an agent directly from a terminal. New terminal tabs can start from a preset so the agent command runs automatically.
When tool approvals are off, Claude and Codex presets start in full-access mode. When tool approvals are on, those presets use CLI defaults instead.
| Preset | Tool approvals off | Tool approvals on |
|---|---|---|
| Claude | claude --dangerously-skip-permissions | claude |
| Codex | codex -c model_reasoning_effort="high" --ask-for-approval never --sandbox danger-full-access | codex -c model_reasoning_effort="high" |
| OpenCode | opencode | opencode |
| Amp | amp | amp |
| Pi | pi | pi |
| Copilot | copilot --allow-all | copilot --allow-all |
| Gemini | gemini -y | gemini -y |
| None | No command | No command |
For saved commands attached to the Run button, use run scripts.
