Workspace tabs
This article describes how the Console workspace is organized into tabs and split strips, and the keyboard shortcuts that drive it. Every file, Resource workspace, and view you open becomes a tab you can arrange, split, and move.
Strips and tabs
The workspace is divided into strips. Every pane has a top strip and a bottom strip, each holding its own row of tabs. A tab is one open item: a file from the Explorer, a Resource workspace, a Tables grid, or a Board.
Opening an item adds a tab to the active strip. Selecting a tab brings its
content to the front. Closing a tab (⌘W) removes it from the strip.
Split strips
Splitting a strip puts two items side by side. Press ⌘\ to split the active
strip; the workspace divides and the current tab moves into the new strip.
Split to compare two files, to watch Logs while editing,
or to keep a Tables grid open next to the code that queries it.
Drag tabs between strips
Tabs are draggable. Drag a tab from one strip to another to move it, or drag it to an edge to create a new split in that direction. The layout you build is preserved for the session, so a working arrangement stays put as you move between Resources.
Quick-open
Press ⌘P to open quick-open, a scoped search over the files and Resources
in the current Project. Type to filter, press Enter to open the selection in
the active strip. Quick-open is the keyboard route to any file without
expanding the Explorer tree.
Quick-open is scoped to the open Project. To jump across Projects or run a
Console action, use the command palette (⌘K), described in
Navigate the Console.
