# Mouse, scrolling, and the bell
> How the pointer, the wheel, and ^G behave — and how to change each.
## Scrolling
The wheel and trackpad scroll the pane's scrollback. All of it lives under
**Settings → Terminal → Scrolling**:
| Setting | Default | What it does |
| -------------------- | ------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Scrollback** | 10,000 lines | How much history each pane keeps, up to 100,000. Applies to new panes. |
| **Scroll speed** | 1.0 | A multiplier on wheel scrolling (0.1–10). |
| **Smooth scrolling** | On | Eases each wheel notch into place over a few frames instead of jumping the whole way. Trackpads scroll continuously already and are unaffected. |
⌘ plus the wheel zooms the font instead of scrolling.
A scrollbar appears down the right edge of the pane as soon as the view moves,
and fades out once it stops — the same bar the sidebar and every list in the app
use. Drag its thumb to travel the whole scrollback at once, or click the track
to jump. A pane sitting at the live edge stays bare, however much output is
running through it.
## The pointer
Under **Settings → Terminal → Mouse**:
| Setting | Default | What it does |
| --------------------------- | ------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Focus follows mouse** | Off | Hovering a pane focuses it without a click. |
| **Hide mouse while typing** | On | The pointer disappears as you type and returns on the next move. |
| **Report mouse to apps** | On | Full-screen programs — vim, tmux, `htop` — get clicks and scroll events themselves. Hold ⇧ to keep a gesture local and select text instead. |
If selecting text inside `vim` or `less` grabs the app's own selection instead
of yours, hold ⇧ while you drag.
## Font size
| | |
| ------------------------------- | --------------------------------- |
| ⌘ + · ⌘ − | Bigger · smaller |
| ⌘ 0 | Back to the configured size |
| ⌘ + wheel | Zoom by scrolling over a terminal |
The base size is **Settings → Appearance → Typography → Font size**, 15 px by
default. The rest of the interface has its own size — **Interface font size**,
16 px, adjustable from 12 to 24 — so you can scale the chrome without touching
the terminal grid, or the other way round.
## The bell
**Settings → Terminal → Bell → Terminal bell** decides what `^G` does:
| Mode | Behaviour |
| ---------------------- | ---------------- |
| **Off** | Nothing |
| **Visual** *(default)* | A brief flash |
| **Audible** | The system sound |
| **Both** | Flash and sound |
## Command-finished notifications
**Settings → Window & Tabs → Notifications** posts a desktop notification when a
foreground command finishes:
* **Notify on command finish** — *Never*, *When unfocused* (default), or
*Always*
* **Notify threshold** — how long a command has to run to qualify, 10 seconds by
default
Coding agents use the same policy for their own notifications.
