* feat(tabs): drag a tab in as a pane, and a pane out as a tab A tab dragged by its chip or its sidebar row can be dropped over the panes to become one of them, and a pane dragged by its grip can be dropped on the strip or the sidebar to become a tab of its own. Both carry the panes across as they are: nothing is spawned and nothing is killed, so a shell mid-command, an SSH session or an agent mid-turn keeps running. The landing is read the way a pane drag's already is, minus the middle: an arriving tab has nothing here to trade places with, so a pane's core means "split it the way it is longest". A tab that was itself split arrives with its own shape intact and takes one share of the row or column it joined. A pane on its way out is offered a caret between two tabs, and the last pane in a tab is offered nothing, being a tab of its own already. Picking a tab up no longer switches to it: the strip and the sidebar now activate on the click rather than on the press. Without that the merge cannot be expressed at all — pressing the tab to drag it would put it on screen, leaving no other tab to drop it into. Two things in the machine tree had to follow: * Panes that change tabs are told as PaneMove, one at a time, rather than as a tab closing and another being rebuilt around them. * The tabs the machine already has are reconciled before new ones are created, so a pane leaving for a tab of its own is given up by the old tab before the new one asks to register it. The machine refuses a pane that is in two tabs at once, and the refusal desynced the window. Closes #621 * test(tree-sync): a tab grafted above a whole layout still converges * fix(tabs): keep a click on the close button from switching tabs Switching on the release rather than the press means every click inside a chip or a sidebar row now reaches the row itself, and gpui-component's `Button` does not stop propagation on a click it handled. So one click on a tab's close button ran `close_tab(i)` and then `activate(i)` — with `i` by then naming whichever tab had slid into that slot, which moved the active tab somewhere nobody asked for. A click into the rename field did the same: it switched away from the tab whose name was being typed, and took the focus out of the field with it. Both now hold the click where they handled it, the way they already held the press. --------- Co-authored-by: l0ng-ai <24760907+l0ng-ai@users.noreply.github.com>

title: "The sidebar"
|
||
description: "Tabs grouped by repository, with branch, diff counts, and agent status on every row."
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
The left sidebar is tty7's tab bar, and it is the default because a vertical row
|
||
has room for things a horizontal chip does not: the repository a tab belongs to,
|
||
the branch it is on, how much has changed there, and what a coding agent in it
|
||
is doing.
|
||
|
||
<kbd>⌘ B</kbd> shows and hides it. Drag its right edge to resize.
|
||
|
||
<Frame caption="Placeholder — screenshot: the sidebar with two repo groups, agent avatars and status dots, branch and +N −M counts">
|
||
<img src="/images/placeholder.svg" alt="The tty7 tab sidebar" />
|
||
</Frame>
|
||
|
||
## Grouped by repository
|
||
|
||
Rows sit under a header per git repository, with everything else collected in a
|
||
trailing **Scratch** section. The grouping follows the tab's working directory,
|
||
not its history — switching branches or `cd`-ing around inside a repository
|
||
never moves a row out from under its header.
|
||
|
||
**Settings → Window & Tabs → Sidebar grouping** switches between *By repo* (the
|
||
default), *By repo or folder*, and *Flat*. The default collects every non-repo
|
||
tab in Scratch; *By repo or folder* groups those tabs under their working
|
||
directory instead — for agents running in plain folders — leaving Scratch to
|
||
tabs whose shell has not reported a directory yet.
|
||
|
||
## What a row tells you
|
||
|
||
<CardGroup cols={2}>
|
||
<Card title="Who is running there" icon="robot">
|
||
A brand avatar when a coding agent is in the tab, plus a status dot —
|
||
blue for working, amber for needs-your-input, green for done.
|
||
</Card>
|
||
<Card title="Where it is" icon="code-branch">
|
||
The pane's git branch, refreshed on `cd` and whenever a command finishes.
|
||
</Card>
|
||
<Card title="What changed" icon="plus-minus">
|
||
The working-tree diff as `+N −M`. Click the counts to open the
|
||
[diff overlay](/git/diffs).
|
||
</Card>
|
||
<Card title="Whether you have looked" icon="circle-dot">
|
||
An unread marker on tabs where a coding agent finished its turn while you
|
||
were elsewhere. Agent tabs also carry *Mark as Unread* in the right-click
|
||
menu, once there is a finished turn to mark.
|
||
</Card>
|
||
</CardGroup>
|
||
|
||
If you would rather the counts not be clickable, turn off **Settings → Window &
|
||
Tabs → Open diff preview from sidebar counts**. The branch and the numbers stay;
|
||
they simply stop opening the overlay.
|
||
|
||
## Rearranging
|
||
|
||
Drag a row to reorder it within its group, or drag a whole group header to move
|
||
the group. A row cannot be dragged into a different group: a tab's group comes
|
||
from its working directory, so `cd` is what moves it.
|
||
|
||
Drag a row out over the panes instead and it stops being a session of its own:
|
||
it lands as a pane of the tab on screen, wherever the highlight says. Dragging a
|
||
pane the other way — by its grip, onto the sidebar — gives it a row of its own,
|
||
between whichever two the caret lands between. See
|
||
[making one tab a pane of another](/window/tabs-and-splits#making-one-tab-a-pane-of-another).
|
||
|
||
## Naming
|
||
|
||
Almost no tab has a name of its own, so the sidebar falls back:
|
||
|
||
1. a name you set (right-click → **Rename Tab…**)
|
||
2. the title the shell is reporting — the running command, usually
|
||
3. **Shell 3**, numbered by position, when there is no title at all
|
||
|
||
`tty7 tab ls` answers the same question with more evidence, because a script has
|
||
no screen to look at. Its `label` falls back through the name, then the coding
|
||
agent running in the tab ("Claude Code"), then the last segment of the working
|
||
directory, then the foreground process — while `name` stays literal, so a script
|
||
can tell a real name from a stand-in.
|
||
|
||
## The switcher
|
||
|
||
<kbd>⌘ ⇧ O</kbd> opens the workspace switcher: every workspace on every machine
|
||
you are connected to on the left, that workspace's tabs on the right. Type to
|
||
filter both, <kbd>⇥</kbd> to cross into the tab column, <kbd>⏎</kbd> to open.
|
||
|
||
From here you can also rename a workspace, open one in a new window, stop one,
|
||
or connect to a machine you have a profile for.
