The Window & Tabs page is gone. Its three remaining tab settings (new tab position, tab bar position, auto grouping) are a Tabs group on General, below Startup & restore, so the nav has seven sections. Removed outright: - SSH tab title (`ssh_tab_title`, #726, unreleased). The sidebar already groups SSH tabs under their host, and renaming a tab pins its name. - Open diff preview from sidebar counts (`sidebar_diff_preview`, #247). The sidebar counts and the Info panel's changes row always open the diff overlay; the large-tree stall it worked around is bounded. An old config.json that still carries either key loads as before. The now-unused window settings icon goes with the page.

## Opening one
|
||
|
||
| From | How |
|
||
|---|---|
|
||
| The sidebar | Click a row's `+N −M` counts |
|
||
| Source Control | **Open Changes** on a file, or click the row |
|
||
| History | Click a file inside a commit's detail view |
|
||
|
||
A diff docks beside the terminal, in the same column an open file uses, so the
|
||
pane you were reading stays on screen. <kbd>Esc</kbd> closes it, and its header
|
||
right-clicks to a menu that fills the window with it if you prefer that —
|
||
[more about the column →](/window/side-panel#where-it-opens)
|
||
|
||
<Frame caption="The diff, side by side, across every changed file">
|
||
<img src="/images/diff-overlay.webp" alt="The tty7 diff overlay" />
|
||
</Frame>
|
||
|
||
## Side-by-side or unified
|
||
|
||
**Toggle Unified / Side-by-Side Diff** in Search Everywhere switches between
|
||
the two. The choice is global — one setting for every diff, the same call VS
|
||
Code's `diffEditor.renderSideBySide` makes — and persists as `diff_view` in
|
||
`config.json`.
|
||
|
||
## What it shows
|
||
|
||
- Every changed file, with its status and `+N −M`
|
||
- **Untracked files** as a preview of their contents, up to 4 MB — past that the
|
||
card says the read failed rather than showing a silently cut-off file
|
||
- A commit's files, when the diff came from the history
|
||
|
||
Two limits keep a huge diff from becoming a huge wait:
|
||
|
||
| Limit | Value | What happens |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| Files rendered | 300 | *"… and N more changed files — run git diff in the terminal to see them."* |
|
||
| Lines before auto-collapse | 400 per file | Big files start collapsed; expand the ones you care about |
|
||
|
||
Both are stated in the overlay when they apply — nothing is dropped silently.
