l0ng-ai 6fcf659e04 feat(search): tabbed Search Everywhere with a Sessions tab to resume agent sessions (#969)
* 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.

## Selecting
| | |
|---|---|
| Drag | Select a range |
| Double-click | Select the thing under the cursor — see below |
| Triple-click | Select the line |
| <kbd>⇧</kbd>-click | Extend the current selection to where you clicked |
| <kbd>⌘ A</kbd> *(macOS)* | Select all — also in the right-click menu and Search Everywhere on every platform |
### Smart double-click
A double-click does not just grab a word bounded by spaces. It works out what
you are pointing at:
| Under the cursor | What you get |
|---|---|
| A URL | The whole URL — including one the shell wrapped across two lines |
| A file path | The whole path |
| An email address | The whole address |
| A bracket or quote | The matching pair, and everything between them |
| CJK text | The word, segmented by dictionary rather than by character |
Turn it off with **Settings → Keyboard & Mouse → Selection & clipboard → Smart selection**.
With it off, double-click falls back to plain word selection using the
`word_separators` list from `config.json` — by default:
```
,│`|:"' ()[]{}<>⇥
```
## Copying and pasting
| | macOS | Windows / Linux |
|---|---|---|
| Copy | <kbd>⌘ C</kbd> | <kbd>Ctrl ⇧ C</kbd> |
| Paste | <kbd>⌘ V</kbd> | <kbd>Ctrl ⇧ V</kbd> · <kbd>⇧ Insert</kbd> |
Two settings shape what lands where, both under **Settings → Keyboard & Mouse → Selection
& clipboard**:
<CardGroup cols={2}>
<Card title="Copy on select" icon="clipboard">
Selecting with the mouse copies immediately, no <kbd>⌘ C</kbd>. Off by
default.
</Card>
<Card title="Trim trailing spaces on copy" icon="scissors">
Strips trailing whitespace from every copied line — useful when copying out
of a TUI that pads to the pane width. Off by default.
</Card>
</CardGroup>
<Note>
Pasting multiple lines sends them as typed input, exactly as any terminal
does. If the shell supports bracketed paste it will treat the block as one
paste rather than running each line.
