Panes, tabs and spaces
Splitting the window, carrying entries between panes, and the panels around them.
Panes
The window splits into panes, and entries drag between them. Each pane draws from its own state, so moving the focus does not move what the other panes are showing. ⌃⌥⇥ and ⇧⌃⌥⇥ step between the panes on screen.
Tabs
An entry dropped on the middle of a pane joins its stack, in front. A pane holding a stack draws a deck at the head of its title row; a click on the deck lists the stack, to bring another entry to the front or move the one in front to a tab of its own — with Spaces in sidebar on, to a pane of its own beside this one. While the focus is in a pane holding a stack, ⌃⇥ and ⇧⌃⇥ step through the stack instead of the window's tabs, Esc gives the focus back to the window, and ⌘1–9 still pick the window's tabs, or with Spaces in sidebar on the spaces, in the order the sidebar lists them.
A new session started while a space is in front — ⌘N, File › New Session, an agent's + — joins the focused pane's stack, in front. Outside a space it opens as a tab of its own.
⌘W closes a tab in a space. Archiving or deleting the entry a tab shows closes its pane and moves the focus to the top-left pane.
Spaces
A space is an arrangement of entries, saved with a tab of its own on the window's strip. One space can span projects. With Settings › Features › Spaces in sidebar on, the sidebar lists each space with its entries grouped under it, and leaves those entries out of their projects. The window then has no row of tabs: the title rows of the panes along its top edge are its top row, the window is dragged by their empty stretch, and the right panel's toggle ends the rightmost one. ⌃⇥ steps through the spaces, unless the focus is in a pane holding a stack.
The panels around them
| Panel | Chord | What it holds |
|---|---|---|
| Sidebar | ⌘B | Projects and their entries |
| Terminal | ⌘J | A shell across the width of the window |
| Right panel | ⌘L | Review, Terminal and Files |
The right panel remembers the tab you left it on and the width you dragged it to, capped at half the column. In a window too narrow to stand it beside a chat it covers the column instead. It is not offered beside a space, which divides the room it would stand in.
⌘⇧F opens Files in it, and ⌘⇧G opens Review.
In a terminal, drag to select; a drag held past the top or bottom edge scrolls the scrollback, faster the further past it goes. A double click selects a word and a triple click a row, and dragging after either extends by words or rows.
