Claude Code Just Killed the Terminal Tab

What's going on, guys? In this video, I want to talk to you about this brand new feature that Cloud Code just shipped recently, which is the agent view, which allows you to have one screen where you can see all of your Cloud Code sessions. So, this is actually very important because if you have used Cloud Code in the past and you've opened many tabs to the terminal, then this is a problem that solves and obviously a lot of people try to implement different things, but now the beauty is that this is right within Cloud Code. So, also within the Cloud desktop app, they actually have the code uh tab in here. And essentially, you can have, you know, all of your sessions in here, but I kind of feel like this is good um for non-

techy people. And if you're an engineer like myself, then terminal to me is the way to go. Is the way forward, right? So, let actually show you how this works. So, right here I've already terminal and you've seen that to open a Cloud session in here, you just say Cloud and you've seen that you can say dash and then dangerous escape, whatever, but before what we used to do is a lot of dash resume, right? So, depending on the location, you just do dash resume. I'm going to trust this and you can see all of the different sessions that I have in here, right? Now, this actually can be quite

difficult to manage, especially once you have, you know, multiple sessions. How do you pin things? How do you find things? Um how do you get rid of things? So, this is basically what it solves, right? So, here I'm going to press escape in here. And the way to get a permanent with Cloud agents is by pretty much just saying Cloud. So, here I'm going to say Cloud and then agents. It's as simple as this. All right, cool. Now, we have this new view in here and this is where we can manage all of the agents. So, say for example, I have an agent in here. I'm going to say sleep. So, I'm going to say sleep for 10 and then minutes, for example. All right, I'm going to press enter, and you can see that in here, now this agent is sleeping for 10 minutes. I'm going to have another session in here. I'm going to say um count. So, I'm going to say count from 1 to I don't know, 10 K sleep um for 1 sec and then print to console. All right, cool. So, I'm going to press enter in here, and you can see that now I do have a second session, which now is going to count from 1 to 10,000. Cool. So, you can see that all of the sessions now, they're working, and let me actually have another session in here. I'm going to say sleep for and then 5 and then seconds. Cool. So, now I have three sessions, and you can see that this one So, this one will finish very soon. There we go. Whoops. And you can see that this one, which is sleeping for 5 seconds, just finished. But, the rest, they're actually working, right? So, they are actually doing whatever I've asked them to do. So, this could be, you know, implementing a feature, doing some research, generating a bunch of PDFs, whatever that might be that agent is

capable of. So, in here, what you could do actually, you could use the mouse. So, actually you can, you know, with your mouse, you can select the session, or you could just use the up arrow. So, I'm going to press the up in here, and you can see that I can toggle between all of these sessions in here. So, if I have a look at this one, which prints in here, so 1 to 10,000 and then echoes. I'm going to press enter and you can see that this actually um is doing some stuff in here in the background and you can see that this has the shell tool in here. So, I'm going to press down, press enter and you can see that the output is right here. So, every second is actually printing. So, 69, 70, 71, 74, 75 and then all the way to 90 and you can see that whatever, right? So, in here I'm going to press the left arrow in here so I can go back. There we go. And now I can go back to the main view, left arrow as well. And in here we also have this other one in here which is sleeping for 10 seconds or 10 minutes, my bad, sorry. So, here I'm going to press enter and I can actually see, you know, it's

actually sleeping, nothing happening. You can go to the shell in here. I can actually use my mouse and then click on it and you can see that this actually is sleeping, there's no output, etc., right? So, this is beautiful. Now, where it becomes really nice is where if I go back to the main view in here I can actually rename the sessions, right? So, here I can just press control and then R. So, control R now allows me to rename the session. So, here I'm going to say this one is actually sleep for 10 and then minutes, for example. There we go. Press enter and then in here this one I can also rename this and then background counter with

console, whatever, right? So, you get the gist. So, I'm going to press enter and this actually is quite important because sometimes you want to organize things, right? So, imagine if you have a bunch of these sessions, how do you actually know which session to work with? Well, they actually allow you to pin the sessions in here. So, I'm going to press control, and then T. And you can see that now this guy right here is pinned. Okay? I can also pin this one if I want to. So, I'm going to press the up arrow, and then select this one, and then pin, and voila. So, this is beautiful. Now, I can press in here. So, have a look. So, we have shortcuts. I can press the question mark in here, and then you can see that we can press control S to switch views, escape to quit, alt. So, this navigates between all of these uh sessions. So, for example, if I press alt, right? So, alt and then one. So, this is the first one. I can go back. Alt and then two. That's the second one. I can go back, so on and so forth.

Cool. And um one thing that you might also want to do is, say for example, I have a brand new session. So, here I'm going to press shift command D. So, I have a brand new session here, and I'm going to again start cloud in here. So, cloud. There you go. So, just like this. Say for example, I have a brand new session like this. And say that you have a bunch of these different tabs, etc. And here I'm just going to say um I don't know um print hello with Python, for example. Press enter. Doesn't really matter what this is going to do, but what I want to show you is that we can use the forward slash, and then BG. So, this basically continues this session in the background, and free the terminal, right? So, it will send it to that view, right? So, the view that you've just seen, and I'll show you in a second, right? So, you can say forward slash BG, which is the um the alias, or you can just say background. So, background in here. So, this is the same thing as saying forward slash BG. All right, so I'm going to press enter in here. There we go. And you can see that it's backgrounding, and it's done. Cool. So, here you can see that to list sessions, you can say cloud agents to attach. This is, I guess, the unique identifier. You can show the recent output. You can stop, etc. So, if I close this, command W in here, and then this is the main view. Have a look. So, we have print hello with Python. Now, I can also pin this if I want to. Or actually, yeah, so this needs input actually. So, you can see that it's telling me that it needs input. I'm going to press enter. There we go. And it says the previous task, yada yada, nothing pending to continue. What else would you like to do next? I'm just going to leave it here. Now

one thing which I don't want to forget is that if I press left, and then here, say for example, I want to have 10 agents. So, create 10 agents each producing 10 random numbers, then add them all together. There we go. Cool. I'm going to press enter, and you can see that this is working. I'm going to press enter again, right? So, I'm going to go into it and see what is happening. And you can see in here. So, now it's going to create 10 different agents, and you can see that this is so cool. And right here, so we can actually scroll down. You can see all of the agents which are working. So, I can actually navigate into each agent actually. So, here um So, you can see that this one is actually, they're all done. Basically, that was so quick, right? So, the task is nearly complete, and you can see that the agent one produced these numbers, the sum is this. Agent two

etc. And then it basically took the sum of all numbers, and then added it together. Now, this brings me to the fact that each of these sessions, they have their own context, right? So, you're not really sharing the context between the sessions, okay? So, if I say {slash} context in here, so {slash} context, there we go. So, this context is completely different. Have a look. So, this context in here, so currently it's um it's at 7%, right? 7% in here, right? So, this context is completely different than, for example, this context. Completely different things, all right? So, this is pretty much how you can get started with Claude agents, so the new view, and this is really cool. And now I

can start organizing all of my sessions and whatnot. The last thing I want to show you is the actual place where you can learn all of this and the keyboard shortcuts. So, if you go back to the Claude code, and I'm going to leave this link in here so you can access So, in here I can scroll down, you can see that it goes through uh what I've just mentioned to you. So, here, so when you pin, you get this icon. When it needs input, you can see that uh it looks like that, or if it's running, etc., right? So, indicator, animated, yellow, dimmed, green, etc. So, if I scroll down, you can also see all in here. So, you can see you can actually do some filtering if you want to. Have a look at all the keyboard shortcuts. Control S, switching groups in here, Control T to pin, Control R to rename, Control G to open in your favorite uh um editor. In my case, Vim is a default, so if I have a massive prompt, but you can actually have Cursor, VS Code, whatever you want. And um this is pretty much it. So, I think this is something which I've been waiting for some time, and it's finally here. All right. So, let me know what else you want to see about Claude code. so we've got, you know, bunch of courses and videos dedicated for Cloud Code coming very soon. So, make sure to subscribe. And uh yeah, what do you think about this brand new feature? So, for now, I'll see you in the next one. Salam alaikum.
