Terminals on an infinite plane.

The desktop workspace is an infinite, mode-less 2D plane. Terminals are tiles you arrange freely — spread them out like Figma or Excalidraw, cluster them by repo, or maximize one and cycle. There is no separate edit mode: the canvas is always live.

Moving around

  • Pan with two-finger scroll; hold Shift to force pan even when the cursor is over a tile.
  • Zoom with pinch or Ctrl + scroll. Text selection, link hovering, and mouse input forwarded to TUI apps all land on the cell under your cursor at any zoom level.
  • Tiles snap to a 24px grid on drag and resize.

Opening terminals in place

  • Double-click any empty spot on the canvas to open the command palette pre-drilled into the New terminal group — the same menu the dock’s + button reaches, so you can pick a repo, name a worktree, or start in the current directory without leaving the plane.
  • A new tile opens at the size of the terminal you’re currently in — the active one, not whichever was created last — so a layout you’ve tuned carries forward. Only the size carries over, not where the tile lands.

Maximize

Double-click a tile’s title bar to maximize it. That posture persists across reloads, and switching terminals while maximized — from the dock, Cmd/Ctrl + 19, or cycling — is a pure show/hide: no reflow, no repaint, no shell resize.

Arranging

Run Arrange canvas by repo from the palette to cluster each repo’s tiles into an island.

Agent state as motion

Each live tile wears its agent’s run-state as motion on its border, in the tile’s repo color: a working tile runs a calm marching-ants outline, one that needs you sweeps a comet (faster the fresher the wait), and a missed alert throbs. Idle tiles stay dark; prefers-reduced-motion collapses every aura to a static ring.

The minimap

The minimap in the corner is both overview and heatmap: it marks tiles whose agents are waiting or thinking, and carries the zoom / arrange / activity-window controls. The bigger multi-agent workflow lives in Power Features.
