* feat(search): replace the command palette with tabbed Search Everywhere
The palette was one flat list that every new kind of row had to be squeezed
into: tabs and SSH hosts rode along as "Switch to Tab: …" and "SSH: …"
commands, and the only way to narrow to one kind was a magic seed word.
Search Everywhere splits it into sources behind one trait — All, Actions,
Terminals, Hosts — each with its own empty-query layout and ranking. The All
tab shows each source's top rows, ordered by best match, with a row that
opens the full tab. Tab / Shift-Tab walk the tabs and keep the query.
- Terminals lists every open tab of every workspace (reusing the switcher's
tab rows) and jumps to it wherever it lives, plus the shells and agents.
- Hosts replaces the separate "Add Connection" input: a typed address or
full `ssh …` line offers to connect.
- Fixes Return doing nothing after a search that found nothing, or when the
search opens pre-filtered: gpui-component re-picks the row from a stale
frame; the delegate now re-arms the first row.
- Fixes `ssh -p 2222 me@box` being offered as a quick-connect address with
user `ssh -p 2222 me`.
The keymap action stays `TogglePalette` so custom bindings keep working.
* feat(search): a Sessions tab to resume past agent sessions
Search Everywhere gains a Sessions tab listing the Claude Code and Codex
sessions on this computer, read from ~/.claude/projects and
~/.codex/sessions ($CODEX_HOME). Sessions that ran in the focused tab's
directory lead; the All tab offers the last three of them before anything
is typed. Return opens a new tab in the session's directory and runs the
agent's resume command with its configured launch flags.
- Only each transcript's head and tail are read, off the window thread,
and cached by path, size and mtime: ~170ms cold for 50 sessions,
under 1ms warm. The search opens on the cached list and fills in.
- Titles: /rename name, then the agent's own title (ai-title, Codex's
session_index.jsonl), then the first thing typed, skipping harness
injections. Codex rollouts it ran for itself (subagent/internal) and
sessions never asked anything are left out.
- A session whose directory is gone is refused with a notice rather than
resumed where the agent cannot find it.
The + menu listed every shell the machine reports (nine on a stock macOS box)
above the SSH hosts. The Local section now names the default shell, always
first, then only shells that have actually been opened, by frecency, three rows
at most, the same way the SSH section caps its hosts.
Shell usage is recorded in a new `shell_frecency` config map, keyed by the
inventory label, bumped from both the menu row and the palette. Every shell is
now a palette command titled "Shell: {label}" (same word in every locale), and
an "Other Shells…" row opens the palette pre-filtered to them. That row is
hidden when the menu already names the whole inventory. Running a shell command
from the palette respects the ⌥/Alt split modifier like the menu row.
Every placeholder frame in docs/ now shows a real capture of the current
build: 20 screenshots plus two short looping clips (prompt editor, pane
drag). The README and the docs home page link a one-minute tour covering
agent status across repos, one agent driving another through the CLI,
the prompt editor, diffs, pane dragging, and sessions surviving a quit.
Found by driving a dev instance and measuring what an idle window costs.
Two of them were frame loops that never stopped. A `Head` diff overlay
calls itself stale when the cached git status disagrees with the snapshot
on screen, and every landed probe wakes that check by touching the cache
— but the read published its counts and left the branch behind, so a
branch switched outside tty7 made the disagreement permanent: two `git`
processes a lap, forever, with `refreshing…` pinned to the header and an
idle window at 7% of a core. And the home page asked for a frame sixty
times a second to change one glyph's opacity twice, which made a window
with nothing open in it eight times more expensive than one running a
shell. Both now settle: the diff read publishes the branch it found, and
the home cursor flips a bool on a timer the way the terminal's own does.
The rest:
- The tab sidebar and the right panel each capped themselves at half the
window and knew nothing about the other, so together they could take
all of it — 260 points of terminal on a 720-point window. Both now cap
at whichever binds harder: half the window, or what is left after the
terminal's floor and the other panel's floor. The same cap bounds the
drag, so a panel dragged to its limit stays where it was dropped.
- Only a HEAD diff may correct the sidebar's counts. Those numbers mean
`git diff --numstat HEAD`; an unstaged or staged patch answers a
smaller question, so opening an untracked file from the Source Control
panel took the staged lines off the total on the click.
- An untracked row in the diff overlay had no click target, and once
focused could not be left — the breadcrumb looks the path up in
`files`, where an untracked file has no entry. Both ends fixed.
- A new pane keeps the name its directory was reached by. `cwd()` alone
loses it: the shell falls back to `getcwd()`, so `/tmp/x` became
`/private/tmp/x` in every tab opened from the first. `PWD` carries it,
and POSIX has the shell discard a `PWD` that names the wrong
directory, so this can correct the name and cannot invent one.
- The settings search now sees into the Keybindings page, which is
generated from the binding table rather than the static index — so
searching for a feature finds its shortcut, and the page filters to
the matches. Closes#444.
- The settings reading column is centred rather than pinned to the nav:
on a window as wide as the display it was made for, 640 points of
settings sat beside 1600 points of nothing.
- `New Workspace…` takes the ellipsis its three sibling actions already
carry — it opens a form asking for a name and a host.
Every fix has a test. The re-probe loop is pinned end-to-end with
`render_probe::draws() == 0` against a real repository, confirmed to
fail on the old behaviour before it was kept.
Audited every page under docs/ against the source. Fixes for what the
code actually does:
- agents: the status vocabulary is idle/working/waiting/done, not
running/waiting/idle; hook rows grow a separate Uninstall button; the
Settings table labels read "Copilot CLI" and "Grok Build"; Copy Session
ID lives in the tab's context menu, not the pane's
- cli: `pane ls --all` reports the owning workspace id, not "tty7-cli";
document bare `tty7 [PATH]` as the GUI launcher it is instead of listing
it as unimplemented; note `active_tab` and the `diagnostics` array; wait
also defaults to $TTY7_PANE
- git: the branch dropdown is a plain list with no search box and no
stash-and-switch, and checkout is not a palette command; quote the diff
overlay's own overflow notice rather than the sidebar's
- window: the unread marker tracks a finished agent turn, not any output;
rows cannot be dragged across groups; the sidebar and `tty7 tab ls`
resolve labels differently; drop Toggle Commit History and Checkout to
from the palette's Git group; ~/.ssh/config aliases are not palette
entries
- terminal: Ctrl+R dedups by command text and shows no directory; Esc does
not dismiss a ghost suggestion; document Cmd+Enter
- remote: GSSAPI is an ordinary Auth choice, not a managed-connection-only
mechanism
- fonts: Maple Mono NF CN leads the chain on Windows and Linux only; list
the real per-platform defaults
- settings paths: the three Links settings and per-pane history were filed
under the wrong sections
38 pages under docs/, written against the source rather than the README:
config keys and their clamps from core::config, default keybindings from
ui::keymap, every CLI verb and flag from tty7-cli, agent aliases and
hook/fork/resume support from core::cli_agent, and Settings paths taken
from the actual en-US strings.
docs/features.md and its zh-CN translation are retired — everything in
them now lives in a page of its own, plus the two things they carried
that nothing else did (IME input, the performance notes). README and
README.zh-CN point at docs/ instead.
Screenshots and videos are placeholders for now: docs/images/placeholder.svg
with a caption naming what each shot should be.
