Make a pane's tag a Text edited with the body's own keys

2026-10-01T03:12:14Z

The tag was a fixed buffer with its own one-line editor, a cursor measured across the path, and a hijack of the body's mode while it was typed into. It is now the pane's second Text: its own characters after the computed prefix (path, dirty marker, PDF page), which is never stored in it, so a rename or a dirty marker never moves its cursor. Normal and insert mode are the body's, undo included; `:` moves the keyboard between body and tag, the tag remembers its cursor and starts on Save, and executing a word from it hands the keyboard back. The mouse still sees the prefix: a sweep selects across it and a click on the path drafts a new name. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

trunk: resume before the Reload experiment

Empty marker on the last pre-Reload change. Keep the Reload experiment on reload (3801914), its first change on reload-start (200a1fc), and the unfinished performance investigation on reload-perf-wip.

tests: a capture is a delta and a click names its word, so a tagline edit stops rewriting the suite

Esc alternates between the last two panes; Toggleterm is gone

2026-08-10T12:17:07Z

Esc ran Toggleterm, which hopped between the newest DOC and the newest TERMINAL. That distinction never earned its keep. It made Esc unpredictable — which of three panes you landed on depended on their kinds, not on where you had been — and it could not alternate between two files at all, which is the case you hit most. Editing two files, Esc did nothing. The replacement already existed. Last (SPC j j) is "the pane you were in before this one, whichever it was": it walks the jump stack for the newest entry naming a different pane and restores its line and column. So Esc, and Shift-Esc in tty, now run Last, and Toggleterm is deleted rather than renamed — a third implementation of "go to the other pane" was the thing to avoid. SPC w t goes with it; the w group is the four directional moves, and the jump group already had SPC j j. Held down, Esc alternates. Two files, a file and its shell, a file and a +Search — all the same, because Last has no notion of kind to get wrong. This depends on the swap in the same series: Last reads the stack backwards, and until hopping stopped appending, the pane you came from could fall off it. windownav.snap needed only its keys and prose changed — its golden did not move at all, which is the useful evidence here: for the one scenario the old builtin handled well, Last produces an identical focus sequence. Coverage for what it did not handle is new: a unit test opens a second FILE by looking its name and asserts Esc alternates between two panes of the SAME kind, which is the case that used to be a no-op. Docs follow: tutor.txt, docs/helix-keys.md, docs/design.typ, and the builtin index goldens, which are now one row shorter. 75/75 snapshots, both unit suites, and the macOS ABI build all pass.

insert vs normal cursor shape (all pane types) + the tag is always insert mode. Surface.cursor grew a bar flag: the core sets it from the active pane mode (insert -> bar; normal/tty -> block) for both the modal/file cursor and the vt-tracking terminal cursor, and unconditionally for the tag cursor. tty shell: DECSCUSR via vaxis setCursorShape (beam for insert, the terminal default otherwise). gui shell: the insert cursor draws the left-eighth-block glyph in cell colors instead of the reverse-video block (ponytail: it hides the char under it; a dedicated quad if that ever matters). Tag editing: enterTagEdit goes straight to insert, Esc (or anything that exits the tag) restores the body normal mode; Enter looks / Tab executes the word at the cursor from inside the tag (tagChordText kept); the whole normal-mode tag machinery — handleTagKey motions, v/x selection, d/c/y/p, tagEnterInsert/tagDelete/tagYank/tagPaste — deleted as unreachable (~120 lines; multi-word tag execution stays the mouse middle-drag). tag.snap rewritten: INS on click, type/backspace straight in, Esc exit with the text persisting, Enter-look opens the file. Tutor documents it. Cursor SHAPE is not capturable by the harness (position only) — verify by eye: bar in insert/tags, block elsewhere, both shells. 30/30.

boot with a single shell pane (was three). Options.shells (default 1; >=3 gives the classic two-column boot), -n CLI flag. The 26 legacy snap scripts pin -n 3 on their start line so their coordinates and goldens stay valid; boot.snap tests the new default (golden regenerated: one full-width pane). 28/28 green.
