Drag-Drop Files to ANY CLI Tool
Key FeatureThe only terminal that intercepts drag-drop events at the terminal layer, making ALL CLI tools support drag-drop automatically. Works with curl, ffmpeg, git, npm, and any command-line tool.
How It Works
- • Intercepts drag-drop at terminal layer
- • Converts to text path automatically
- • Auto-quotes paths with spaces
- • Supports multiple files (space-separated)
Use Cases
- • Drag images to: imagemagick convert
- • Drag videos to: ffmpeg -i
- • Drag JSON to: curl -X POST -d @
- • Drag files to: git add
Why Others Can't Do This
VSCode terminal doesn't intercept drag events - it relies on CLI tools' native drag support. Most tools (curl, ffmpeg, git) don't support drag-drop natively. Termdock solves this by intercepting at the terminal layer and converting to text paths.
10+ Workspaces with Independent Git
Key FeatureManage 10+ projects simultaneously in one window. Each workspace has independent Git status, terminals, and file explorer. Switch with Cmd+P in under 1 second.
Independent Git Status
- • Each workspace tracks its own Git repo
- • No confusion between projects
- • Visual Git status per workspace
Quick Switching
- • Cmd+P to switch (< 1 second)
- • All terminal states preserved
- • No window management chaos
Memory Efficient
- • ~200MB for all workspaces
- • vs VSCode: ~300MB × 10 = 3GB
- • 90% memory savings
Real-World Use Case
Frontend (React) + Backend (Node.js) + DevOps (Terraform) + 7 other projects all in one Termdock window. Switch between them instantly. VSCode would need 10 windows consuming 3GB+ memory.
