Named Workspaces
A workspace is a set of tabs. A window can have several, such as one per project, and each can contain multiple tabs. Workspaces can also be remote.
- Location: the upper sidebar lists workspace names/tab counts and highlights the current one. The tab-section heading identifies its workspace.
- Create: workspace
+or File → New Workspace… (⌘⇧N) starts a home-directory Shell. New tabs via+/⌘Tbelong to that workspace. The host picker chooses Local for the current window, an existing machine for remote, or a not-yet-added host/alias to add it first. - Switch: sidebar, File → Next Workspace (
⌃⌘]) / previous (⌃⌘[), or Open Quickly's Workspaces category. Terminals/Agents continue and notifications still arrive; clicking one switches to its workspace. - Top/bottom layouts: the leftmost tab-bar button shows the workspace and offers switching/create/rename.
- Rename: double-click the sidebar workspace, its context menu, or File → Rename Workspace….
- Move tabs: tab context-menu Move to Workspace.
- Delete: workspace context menu or File → Delete Workspace… closes its tabs, recoverable through Recently Closed. At least one workspace remains.
- Old windows formerly created by
⌘⇧Ncan still reopen from the switcher after closing. - Remote switching leaves tasks running; closing ends all processes after confirmation.
