Why Pad

You already know how to use it

If you can use VS Code, you can use Pad. Same shortcuts, but it runs in your terminal.

Lives in Your Terminal

SSH into a server? Edit right there. Split panes in Ghostty or iTerm? Pad fits perfectly.

Resize Without Breaking

Drag your terminal pane smaller. Pad reflows. No weird line wrapping or broken layouts.

Mouse Actually Works

Click to move your cursor. Drag to select. Scroll with your trackpad. Like a normal application.

Shortcuts You Know

Ctrl+C copies. Ctrl+V pastes. Ctrl+Z undoes. Ctrl+S saves. That's it. You're done learning.

Just an Editor

Not an AI client. Not a git wrapper. Pad does one thing: let you edit code. Use your favorite tools for everything else.

Just Works

No plugins. No config. No themes to download. Install it, run it, edit code. Done.

Made for split-pane workflows

You're running Claude Code in one pane, tests in another, and you need an editor that doesn't fight for space. Pad was built for exactly this.

  • Edit code while watching your AI assistant work
  • Keep tests running in a visible pane
  • Open multiple files across different panes
  • Resize freely - nothing breaks

Squish it, stretch it

Need to make room? Drag your pane smaller. Pad reflows intelligently. The UI adapts. Nothing breaks, nothing scrolls off screen.

  • Smart line wrapping that makes sense
  • UI elements collapse when space is tight
  • Always readable at any width

Copy from AI, paste into code

Claude gives you a code block. You copy it. You paste it into Pad. It works. No fighting with terminal escape sequences or broken formatting.

  • Standard Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V actually works
  • No weird clipboard conflicts
  • You control your workflow, not the editor

Keyboard Shortcuts

Zero learning curve

Every shortcut works exactly like you'd expect. VS Code muscle memory transfers directly. And search actually works on massive codebases - thousands of files, no slowdown.
