l0ng-ai eec003e4e7 feat(sidebar): visual-order ⌘N, persisted groups, deduped headers
Three follow-ups to the repo grouping:

- ⌘N now targets the N-th row as displayed (activate_visual over the
  same sections the render uses), so the badge digits read 1…9 top to
  bottom under grouping instead of scattering tab-vector indices.
- SessionTab persists the sticky sidebar group, so a restored session
  renders grouped on the first frame instead of starting flat and
  reshuffling as git probes land; reopen-closed-tab keeps its group too.
- Same-named repo roots disambiguate their headers by extending parent
  components until distinct (work/app vs fork/app); unique names stay
  short. Grouping/naming logic moved to pure functions with unit tests.

Why

  • Fast — ~2× the throughput of Alacritty, Ghostty, or Kitty (benchmarks)
  • Sessions persist — quit or reboot; your shells keep running, no tmux
  • Editor-grade input — completion, syntax highlighting, history search built in; zero config for zsh, bash, fish, PowerShell
  • Agent-aware — recognizes Claude Code & co. in a pane: status, notifications, session resume

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 libs bundled

What's inside

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 · eight themes · IME
Coding agents per-pane agent detection (~17 CLIs): status dot, notifications, branch + diff, resume after reboot, tray icon that signals "needs your input"
SSH native russh stack: profiles with keychain secrets, SFTP panel, port forwarding, jump hosts

Details for every row: docs/features.md. Keybindings: ⌘ , opens Settings — browse and remap everything, tmux preset included (full list).

Benchmarks

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