The tab sidebar, the file tree, the right panel and the SFTP browser all
run their scroll area through `with_vertical_scrollbar`. The settings
pages — the longest scrolling surfaces tty7 has, several viewports of them
on Appearance and Terminal — had no bar at all: no thumb, no sense of how
far down the page you were or how much was left. The SSH host list, the SSH
form and the theme picker's list were the same.
All four now carry the shared bar. It follows the OS "show scroll bars"
preference like every other one, so nothing appears for anyone who asked
for scrollbars to stay hidden.
The scroll areas move inside a wrapper that holds the constraints they used
to hold themselves, and two of those do not survive the move. `min_w_0` on
a column child means the *cross* axis, and carrying it inside let the SSH
form's label column shrink to nothing while the toggles stayed put; it
belongs on the wrapper, which is still the row item it always was. And the
wrapper has to take its width explicitly rather than by stretching, or the
`w_full` inside has no width to be a percentage of — which is how the
settings reading column lost its 640px cap on the Chinese page, exactly the
way 00ad4eb first found it.
tty7
A terminal workbench: persistent sessions, remote work, agents.
Pure Rust · GPU rendering on Zed's gpui · VT core from Alacritty
English · 简体中文
Why
- Performance — ~2× the throughput of Alacritty, Ghostty, or Kitty (benchmarks)
- Persistent sessions — quit or reboot; your shells and supported agent sessions keep running, no tmux
- Editor-grade input — suggestions, completion, highlighting, history search
- Remote development — files, repos, panes, and git data stay on the remote machine
- Native SSH — profiles, SFTP, port forwarding, and jump hosts
- Agent-aware — Claude Code, Codex & co.: status, notifications, git context
- CLI + Skills — agents create panes, run commands, and inspect output
