Search, and the panels
Ctrl+G (or SPC SPC, SPC /) searches the workspace by words and, with a model, by meaning: the hits on the left, the file at the hit on the right. Enter opens it.
/ finds a word in the pane you are in; n and N find it again.
The panels open over the page, the page never moving under them:
- SPC e the explorer: every workspace's folders and files
- SPC l the relations: what this file links to, and what links to it
- SPC ` a terminal, running your shell in the workspace's folder
- SPC g an AI agent's CLI (System › Agent profiles…)
flowchart LR E[SPC e, the explorer] --- P((the page)) L[SPC l, the relations] --- P T[a terminal] --- P A[SPC g, an agent] --- P
Ctrl+h j k l (Normal mode) go from the page to a panel and back.
Every panel moves and resizes. Alt (Option on a Mac) with the left button drags it anywhere; with the right button it resizes. SPC L (Go › Arrange panel…) does both by keys: h j k l move it, H J K L resize it, Enter keeps it, Esc puts it back. It opens where you left it; Go › Reset panel layout docks them all again.
