The dashboard already has an xterm.js terminal connected to every session. The web plugin just points ao open at the right dashboard URL.
Use
terminal: web
terminalConfig:
dashboardUrl: http://localhost:3000 # default| Config key | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
dashboardUrl | http://localhost:3000 | Base URL for the dashboard. Override when the dashboard runs on another host/port. |
How it works
When you run ao open <session>, the plugin prints the session's dashboard URL. If you're on macOS/Linux, it also tries to open it in your default browser.
Since the terminal UI lives in the dashboard itself, there's no per-session state here — this plugin is just routing + convenience.
Why this exists
- Windows has no
osascriptand no AppleScript-equivalent that's worth writing a plugin for. - You're running AO on a remote host — no local terminal to attach to.
- You prefer browser tabs over terminal tabs.
