Both SSH tools floated over the terminal: a tunnel icon and an SFTP icon pinned top-right, opening a 460px popover and a bottom dock. They are pane facts, so they now live where the pane's other facts already are. Port forwarding becomes a Forwards band on the Info tab, under Ports — one says what the pane listens on locally, the other what it routes across the connection. Rows take the panel's language: a mono kind letter, the bound port as the same chip a listening port gets, hover to remove, click to edit. The add form is inline, stacked to fit the column. The list re-lists on the Info tab's existing 2s poll, so a forward that dies remotely turns red on its own. SFTP becomes the Files tab's remote mode: the tab follows the detail pane, showing a local repository tree or that machine's filesystem. Same browsing model as before (breadcrumb, filter, `..`-led list, per-row right-click) relaid out for ~260px — the toolbar collapses to refresh plus a `⋯`, and the permissions column moves into the chmod form, which now names the mode it is editing. The header carries the hostname: the tab swaps between two filesystems as the pane changes, and it can rename and delete. Transfers become a footer on the panel column rather than a tray inside SFTP. It sits below every tab, so reading Info doesn't hide a running upload, and stays pane-scoped rather than aggregating every pane, which would quietly make the panel a window-level transfer centre. Opening the browser gained a step: the shell's cwd needs tty7's shell integration on the remote, which a freshly-connected host rarely has, so it fell through to `/`. A new SftpOp::Realpath resolves the login directory instead. Per-pane positions are recorded on arrival, so a first landing at `/` can no longer be remembered as a preference. With nothing floating over the terminal any more, the ⌘F find bar gets its top-right slot back — it used to be suppressed while those icons were up.
tty7
A terminal workbench: shells, sessions, SSH, coding agents.
Pure Rust · GPU rendering on Zed's gpui · VT core from Alacritty
English · 简体中文
Why
- Fast — ~2× the throughput of Alacritty, Ghostty, or Kitty (benchmarks)
- Sessions persist — quit or reboot; your shells keep running, no tmux
- Editor-grade input — completion, syntax highlighting, history search built in; zero config for zsh, bash, fish, PowerShell
- Agent-aware — recognizes Claude Code & co. in a pane: status, notifications, session resume
