Session navigation

• <leader> down — enter child session
• left / right — cycle children
• up — return to parent

Pinned sessions & quick switch

Pin the sessions you keep coming back to and jump to them with a single chord. Open the session list with <leader> l, then:

Shortcut	Action
<leader> l	Open the session list
ctrl+f	Pin or unpin the highlighted session
<leader> 1…9	Jump straight to pinned slot 1 through 9

Pinned top-level sessions are grouped under a Pinned category at the top of the session list, and the first nine are assigned quick-switch slots 1–9 — the slot number shows in the list gutter. Pressing <leader> 1…<leader> 9 navigates directly to the session in that slot from anywhere in the TUI, without opening the list first.

note

Pins persist across restarts and only apply to top-level sessions (not child sessions). When a pinned session is deleted it is removed from your pins automatically.

Diff viewer

The TUI ships a full-screen diff viewer that is enabled by default. Open it from the command palette or the /diff command:

/diff

It opens on your working tree changes by default. Use d to switch the source to the last assistant turn, and back.

File tree

• Focus-first-file. Switching focus into the file tree (tab) automatically highlights the first changed file, so you can start navigating immediately.
• Directory collapse. Single-child directory chains are folded into one row (for example src/cli/cmd) to keep the tree compact. Expand or collapse a folder with right / left, or open everything at once with E.
• Reviewed tracking. Mark a file as reviewed with m to keep track of what you have already looked at.

Accelerated scrolling

The patch pane uses accelerated scrolling. By default it scrolls a fixed three lines per step; you can tune this in your TUI config:

{
  "scroll_speed": 5,
  "scroll_acceleration": { "enabled": true }
}

• scroll_acceleration.enabled turns on macOS-style momentum scrolling (the faster you scroll, the further each step travels). When enabled, it takes precedence over scroll_speed.
• scroll_speed sets a fixed number of lines per scroll step (minimum 0.001). Omitting both leaves the default speed of 3.

See Configuration for where these settings live.
