# Interface > The sidebar, tabs and panes, the right dock, palettes, the status bar and what a relaunch restores. The window has three columns and a status bar: the **Projects sidebar** on the left, **tabs and panes** in the center, and the **right dock** on the right. Everything opens as a center tab: files, diffs, pull requests, transcripts, browsers and settings. ## Projects sidebar ⌘ B shows or hides the sidebar; ⌘ ⇧ B moves the keyboard into it. - **Title strip:** the Rexa version, the update badge, and a collapse button. - **Projects header:** **New worktree** (⌘ ⇧ N) and **Open project** (⌘ O). - **Tree:** project → worktree → agent cards. See [Projects and worktrees](/docs/workspace/projects-and-worktrees) and [Sessions](/docs/agents/sessions). - **Bottom:** Keymap, Extensions and Settings buttons. Drag the sidebar's edge to resize it. ## Tabs and panes Each worktree has its own tabs. A tab holds a console, an editor, a preview, a diff, a browser or a page such as Settings. - **Temporary tabs:** a single click on a file opens it in an italic tab that the next click replaces. Double-click, edit, or **Keep Open** to keep it. - **Pin a tab** from its right-click menu. Pinned tabs show a pin. - **Panes:** ⌘ \\ adds a column. Drag the divider to resize. - **Middle-click** closes a tab. ⌘ ⇧ T reopens the last closed tab. | Action | Shortcut | | ------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- | | New tab | ⌘ T | | New tab of a chosen kind | ⌘ N | | Next / previous tab | ⌃ Tab / ⌃ ⇧ Tab | | Go to tab 1–8, last tab | ⌘ 1 … ⌘ 8, ⌘ 9 | | Previously used tab | ⌃ 6 | | Move tab right / left | ⌘ ⌥ ⇧ → / ← | | Close tab or split | ⌘ W | ⌘ T opens a console unless **Settings → Launch new tab** names something else. Consoles split further inside a tab; see [Terminal](/docs/workspace/terminal). ## Right dock ⌘ R shows or hides the right dock; ⌘ ⇧ R moves the keyboard into it. It shows one panel at a time, and each worktree remembers its panel and width. | Panel | Shortcut | Shows | | ------- | --------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- | | Agents | ⌘ ⇧ A | Installed agents and sessions. [Sessions](/docs/agents/sessions) | | Files | ⌘ ⇧ E | The file tree. [Files and search](/docs/workspace/files-and-search) | | Search | ⌘ ⇧ F | Project-wide search and replace. | | Git | ⌘ ⇧ G | Changes, compare and history. [Git](/docs/review/git) | | Forge | ⌘ ⇧ U | Pull requests, issues and CI runs. [Pull requests](/docs/review/pull-requests) | A panel shortcut pressed while you are already in that panel returns the keyboard to the center. Right-click the dock's icon strip to reorder or pin panels; Search is unpinned by default, so its icon appears only while it is open. ## Floating terminal ⌘ J shows a terminal panel over any view. See [Terminal](/docs/workspace/terminal#floating-terminal). ## Palettes | Shortcut | Opens | Prefix | | ---------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- | ------ | | ⌘ P | Files. `path:line:col` opens at a position. | `/` | | ⌘ ⇧ P | Commands, with their shortcuts. | `>` | | ⌘ E | Live agent sessions, grouped by worktree. | `@` | | ⌘ ⇧ W | Worktrees, grouped by project. | `~` | | ⌘ N | New tab: a console, an agent or a browser. | | Type a prefix at the start of an empty query to switch modes. ⌫ on an empty query or Esc steps back. Results stop at 100. ## Status bar | Item | Shows | | ----------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- | | Project and branch | The active worktree, its branch and changed-file count. | | Agent usage | Plan usage for Claude and Codex, when available. | | Problems | Error and warning counts. Click for the list. | | Language servers | One item per running server. Click for controls. | | Editor mode | The Vim mode, when Vim is on. | | Comments | Saved [comments](/docs/review/comments) waiting to be sent. | | Resources | Anything over its CPU or memory budget. [Resource monitor](/docs/reference/resource-monitor) | Right-click the bar to hide items. **rexa: toggle status bar** hides the whole bar. ## Zen mode **rexa: toggle zen mode** closes both docks and hides the status bar. Run it again to restore what was showing. ## Text size ⌘ = and ⌘ - change the text size everywhere in half-point steps; ⌘ 0 resets it to 13.5. ## Focus marker A small triangle in the top-right corner marks the region that has the keyboard. Turn it off with `focus_marker` in [Settings](/docs/customize/settings). ## What a relaunch restores Rexa saves its layout as you work and restores it on the next launch: - The window, projects, their order, names and folding, and hidden worktrees. - Per worktree: panes, tabs and pinned tabs, console splits, the right dock panel, the floating terminal, unsaved editor changes and unsent comments. - Agent cards and their order. Terminals keep running in the background while Rexa is closed and reattach on launch. Zen mode is not restored.
