Windows & Layout

Tranquil keeps everything in one window using docks, panes, and tabs. This is the same ground the in-app guide’s first lesson covers — open it with File → New Default Window to try each step live.

Docks

Docks are the panels around the edges of the window.

Action	Keybinding
Focus the file tree (left)	`Cmd-B`
Toggle the right dock	`Cmd-Alt-B`
Toggle the bottom dock	`Cmd-J`

The right and bottom docks hold things like the browser and find-in-page.

Panes

A pane holds a stack of tabs. Split the active pane to see two files at once:

Cmd-K then an arrow (↑ ↓ ← →) — split in that direction.
Cmd-K Cmd-<arrow> — move focus to the pane in that direction.

You can also drag a tab into another pane, or into the right/bottom dock, to pin it beside your work. Both file tabs and browser tabs support this.

Tabs

Ctrl-Tab / Ctrl-Shift-Tab — cycle to the next / previous tab, in order.
Cmd-1 … Cmd-9 — jump to a tab by position.

Prefer a vertical list of tabs? Run “Tabs: Toggle Vertical Tab List” from the command palette (Cmd-Shift-P) to show a browser-style tab rail in the right dock.

Windows

File → New Window — a fresh, empty window.
File → New Default Window — a new window that opens the guided sample project.

Each window is its own browser session, so you can be signed into the same site under different accounts in two windows without them colliding. To tell windows apart, assign an accent color from Window → Window Color — it tints that window’s status bar.

Next: Browser & Tabs — the built-in browser.
