Split View

Split view divides the workspace into two side-by-side panes so you can keep the conversation visible while reviewing code changes, browsing files, or watching a webview. Chat and terminal stay pinned on the left; content tabs (file editor, diff viewer, webview) appear on the right.

Click the split-view button in the workspace toolbar — it’s the two-column icon between the terminal toggle and the changes toggle. Split view is off by default.

When you turn it on, the workspace splits into a left pane (chat + terminal) and a right pane (content tabs). Turning it off collapses everything back to the standard single-panel layout.

  • Left pane: chat panel and terminal, plus the session strip for switching between chat sessions.
  • Right pane: file editor, diff viewer, and webview tabs.
  • Resizable splitter: drag the divider between panes to adjust widths. Each side has a minimum width of 320 px.

Tab cycling shortcuts (⌘/Ctrl + Shift + [ and ⌘/Ctrl + Shift + ]) scope to the right pane tabs when split view is active, so you can flip through files and diffs without leaving the chat visible.

Split-view state syncs to collaboration clients — when the host enables or disables split view, connected participants see the same layout change. Pane width is not synced; each participant sizes their own splitter independently.

  • Split view is not available for terminal-only workspaces (workspaces that have no agent session).
