l0ng-ai 6cab19ce01 fix(menu): put SSH in the menu bar, and stop offering Full Screen twice

SSH is one of the reasons to pick tty7 and it had no entry in the menu
bar at all — the only routes were ⌘P and Settings, both of which you
have to already know about. Manage Profiles and Reconnect now sit in
File beside the other things that open a pane; Remote Files and Port
Forwarding sit in View beside the other panel toggles. Same labels as
the command palette, so there is still one name per thing.

AppKit adds its own "Enter Full Screen" to the bottom of any menu named
View, so ours sat directly above it: the same command listed twice under
two different shortcuts. Ours is gone; ⌘↵ still works and is listed on
the Keybindings page. Drops the AppMenuEnterFullscreen key with 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

Install

Native builds for each platform on Releases:


macOS	`…-macos-arm64.dmg` · `…-x86_64.dmg`	drag into Applications
Windows	`…-setup.exe` · portable `….zip`
Linux	`…-x86_64.AppImage`	`chmod +x` and run — X11/Wayland libraries bundled

What's inside


Editor-grade input	ghost suggestions from history · explained tab completion · syntax highlighting · multi-line editing · click places the caret · `⌃ R` fuzzy history
Window	tabs & splits · `⌘ P` palette · `⌘ F` scrollback search · nine themes · IME
Agent-aware	per-pane detection (~17 CLIs): status dot · notifications · branch + diff · resume after reboot · tray icon when input is needed
Remote workspaces	remote files, repos, changes, diffs, worktrees, tabs, and panes · reconnect from any client and continue where you left off
CLI + Skills	bundled `tty7` CLI · agent skill · pane/workspace control · real PTY commands · output, process, port, and agent status
SSH	native russh stack: profiles with keychain secrets · SFTP panel · port forwarding · jump hosts · one-time, unprivileged `tty7-server` install

Terminal and keybinding reference: docs/features.md. The agent-facing CLI interface is documented in skills/tty7/SKILL.md.

Benchmarks

Same machine, same day, same 155×40 grid — Apple M1 Pro, macOS 26.3.1, five-run averages (2026-07-04):
