Shift-Esc always backs out: in every mode and pane it goes to the previous pane, as Esc does from normal, and a raw program never sees it; Ctrl-b alone toggles raw

2026-10-01T12:47:18Z

Shift-Esc switched a terminal in normal or insert mode into raw, so the one key meant to get out of anything got a script or a person into a program instead. It is now handled before any mode: an open prompt is closed, insert mode left, a pending count dropped, and Last runs, the pane keeping its mode (a raw terminal stays raw). Ctrl-b is the only switch between raw and normal. The keymap's two chords become one, back_out; the cheatsheet row, the guide's mode table and the tutor say so, and the tty and builtins goldens are re-recorded. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

trunk: resume before the Reload experiment

2026-09-15T20:24:42Z

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.

Esc alternates between the last two panes; Toggleterm is gone

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.

adding better search to tty mode

2026-08-01T18:02:07Z

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.

pardes v2: the rewrite, complete and organized. src/ (core + three shells), test/ (snapshot parity harness + 18 frozen goldens). One sans-IO core, vaxis tty + SDL3 GPU native + wasm web shells, 18/18 parity with the purged prototype, 7.6k lines vs 12.1k. Fix: gui shell pre-sized the core at init so the greet-releasing resize never fired (blank panes until first interaction); live sessions now init at defaults and get the real grid as a resize event (the shell contract, documented on Options).
