FAQ

How can I see the block numbers?​

The block numbers will appear when you hold down Ctrl-Shift (and disappear once you release the key combo).

How do I make a remote connection?​

There is a button in the header. Click the or and type the [user]@[host] that you wish to connect to.

On Windows, how can I use Git Bash as my default shell?​

Caeros automatically detects Git Bash installations and adds them to the connection dropdown. Simply click the or button in the block header and select "Git Bash" from the list.

Alternatively, you can manually set Git Bash as your default shell by setting the configuration variable term:localshellpath to the location of the Git Bash "bash.exe" binary. By default it is located at "C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe". Just remember in JSON, backslashes need to be escaped. So add this to your settings.json file:

"term:localshellpath": "C:\\Program Files\\Git\\bin\\bash.exe"

Can I use CSH outside of Caeros?​

csh is an internal CLI for extending control over Caeros to the command line, you can learn more about it here. To prevent misuse by other applications, csh requires an access token provided by Caeros to work and will not function outside of the app.

Why does Caeros warn me about ARM64 translation when it launches?​

macOS and Windows both have compatibility layers that allow x64 applications to run on ARM computers. This helps more apps run on these systems while developers work to add native ARM support to their applications. However, it comes with significant performance tradeoffs.

To get the best experience using Caeros, it is recommended that you uninstall Caeros and reinstall the version that is natively compiled for your computer. You can find the right version by consulting our Installation Instructions.

You can disable this warning by setting app:dismissarchitecturewarning=true in your configurations.

How do I join the beta builds of Caeros?​

Caeros publishes to two channels, latest and beta. If you've installed the app for macOS, Windows, or Linux via DEB or RPM, you can set the following configurations in your settings.json (see Configuration for more info):

"autoupdate:enabled": true,
"autoupdate:channel": "beta"

If you've installed via Snap, you can use the following command:

sudo snap install caeros --classic --beta

Can I use Caeros AI without enabling telemetry?​

v0.13.1

Yes! Caeros AI is normally disabled when telemetry is not enabled. However, you can enable Caeros AI features without telemetry by configuring your own custom AI model (either a local model or using your own API key).

To enable Caeros AI without telemetry:

  1. Configure a custom AI mode (see Caeros AI documentation)
  2. Set caerosai:defaultmode to your custom mode's key in your Caeros settings

Once you've completed both steps, Caeros AI will be enabled and you can use it completely privately without telemetry. This allows you to use local models like Ollama or your own API keys with providers like OpenAI, OpenRouter, or others.
