migegeandl0ng-ai e6009636b5 feat(tabs): reorder the active tab from the keyboard (MoveTabLeft / MoveTabRight) (#974)
* feat(tabs): MoveTabLeft / MoveTabRight — keyboard tab reordering

The drag that reorders a tab now has a keyboard form: the active tab trades
places with its neighbour in visual order, wrapping past either end. Ships
unbound like the pane-swap pair; bindable from config.json and the Keybindings
page, and listed in the palette and the docs.

* fix(tabs): keep a keyboard tab move inside its sidebar group

On a left tab bar the move stepped along the flat visual order, so a
step out of a group reordered self.tabs without moving anything on
screen (still saved, still synced as TabMove, and visible later on a
top bar), and a wrap through another group landed the tab at its own
group's far end by accident. The move now reassigns only the slots of
the tab's own sidebar section, and wraps at that section's ends.

One-minute tour of tty7: agents across repos, one agent driving another through the CLI, the prompt editor, diffs, dragging panes, and sessions that survive quitting the app

▶ Watch in full quality

Why

A background server owns your shells and panes — not the window. Everything below follows from that.

  • 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
  • Agent-aware — Claude Code, Codex & co.: status, notifications, and git context for every repo at once
  • Scriptable by agents — one agent opens a pane for another, hands off a task, waits, and reads the result, with or without the GUI running
  • Editor-grade input — suggestions, completion, highlighting, history search, with no plugin to install
  • Remote development — files, repos, panes, and git data stay on the remote machine, over a native SSH stack

Install

Native builds for macOS, Windows, and Linux 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

Agent-aware per-pane detection (23 CLIs) · status dot · notifications · branch + diff · tray icon when input is needed · resume after reboot · tab sidebar grouped by repository, with pinned groups
CLI + Skills bundled tty7 CLI · agent skill · run streams a command and exits with its code · split · send · wait --until free · capture
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 · ⌘ J panel with process tree and listening ports · 13 themes, your own YAML, iTerm2 import · IME
Shell integration injected when a pane starts, nothing to install · prompt marks · working directory · exit codes · command-finished notifications · zsh, bash, fish, PowerShell, WSL, remote panes
Remote workspaces remote files, repos, changes, diffs, worktrees, tabs, and panes · reconnect from any client and continue where you left off
SSH native russh stack: profiles with keychain secrets · SFTP panel · port forwarding · jump hosts · one-time, unprivileged tty7-server install

Supported agents

Detection is free: brand avatar, branch + diff, tab title. Status takes one click under Settings → Integrations to install that agent's hook, and brings the status dot, notifications, the tray icon, tty7 wait, and resume after a reboot. Fork needs both — the agent's own fork command, and the hook that tells tty7 which session to fork.

None of them are wrapped or proxied — the agent you start is the agent you get, in a normal PTY, with its own interface. An agent launched through a wrapper script can be mapped to one by name with agent_commands in config.json. Every agent on your PATH is also a palette command (Agent: Claude Code, …) that opens it in a new tab; agent_launch sets the command line it starts with.

Documentation

Full documentation lives in docs/ — keyboard shortcuts · config.json · CLI reference. The agent-facing CLI interface is also documented in skills/tty7/SKILL.md.

Install the skill with:

npx skills add l0ng-ai/tty7    # install
npx skills update tty7         # update later

Benchmarks

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