bound REPL, else the terminal in the same column, and run it
- the gap it fills: sending from a pane no REPL routes (a .txt, a scratch,
a README) without binding anything
+
+- OPEN (2026-10-01): an explicit pane picker for moving between panes
+ - the problem: SPC w h/l into a column that lands on a raw terminal leaves
+ the keys with its program, so Ctrl-w/SPC can't move on without Ctrl-b or
+ the mouse (raw terminals must keep Ctrl-w: bash deletes a word with it)
+ - the fix has to choose before focus lands. Options:
+ 1. a window mode: SPC w holds the keyboard; h/j/k/l move a highlighted
+ outline between panes (nothing receives keys meanwhile), Enter (or a
+ non-motion key) commits, Esc cancels
+ 2. pane labels (avy / tmux display-panes): a letter on every pane, press
+ one to jump there; skips raw terminals entirely
+ 3. landing rules: into a column, land on its last-focused non-terminal
+ pane, or land a terminal in normal mode; no new mode but implicit
+ - leaning: 1 with 2's labels shown while in the mode
+ - open: does Ctrl-w enter it too; does the committing key reach the pane or
+ only Enter commits; labels always or on a key
