Actions

An action is a thing slosh can do to a pane, a tab, or the session. split, zoom, next tab, quit, etc. Every action has a name, and that name is what you bind a key to (keys) or type into the command palette (C-a p).

Everything below can be bound, and everything below can be run from the palette without being bound at all. The key column is the default binding, if there is one; an action with no default key is reached from the palette until you give it one.

Panes

action key does
split Enter split whichever way there is more room
split-cols \ split into columns
split-rows - split into rows
close-pane x close this pane
rerun r run a finished pane's command again
zoom z fill the tab with this pane, and back
minimize m put it away in the strip along the bottom
float f float it, and back
new-float F a new floating shell, the throwaway terminal
set-purpose P tag it with a purpose
rename-pane (none) rename this pane (double-click does it too)
clear-shaders (none) clear whatever the program painted on it
pane-to-next-tab > push it to the tab after
pane-to-prev-tab < push it to the tab before
pane-to-new-tab b break it out into a tab of its own

Focus

action key does
focus-left h, ← move focus left
focus-right l, → move focus right
focus-up k, ↑ move focus up
focus-down j, ↓ move focus down
focus-next o the next pane
finder s find a pane by name

Size

action key does
resize-left H, shift+← move the boundary left, or the pane if it is floating
resize-right L, shift+→ move the boundary right
resize-up K, shift+↑ move the boundary up
resize-down J, shift+↓ move the boundary down
equalize 0 give every visible pane an even share
float-grow = (+) grow a focused float about its centre
float-shrink - shrink a focused float (through split-rows when tiled)
rotate-layout Space turn the layout a quarter turn (four brings it back)

Tabs

action key does
new-tab c new tab
rename-tab (none) rename this tab
close-tab X close this tab
next-tab Tab next tab
prev-tab shift+Tab previous tab
select-tab-1 … select-tab-9 1 … 9 go to that tab

Scroll

action key does
scroll-up (none) up a line
scroll-down (none) down a line
scroll-page-up PgUp up a page
scroll-page-down PgDn down a page
scroll-top Home to the oldest line
scroll-bottom End back to the present
search / search the scrollback: type, ↑ ↓ between matches, Enter keeps your place, Esc snaps back

Projects

action key does
workspaces w go to a project (workspaces)
save-workspace W write this tab out as this project's layout

Session

action key does
palette p the command palette
help ? the cheatsheet
edit-config e edit the config, in a pane
themes t the theme picker, worn as you browse
detach d detach, leave it running
quit q quit the session
literal-prefix leader twice send the leader itself to the program

Notes

scroll-up and scroll-down have no default key (the mouse wheel does that job), which is exactly the case the palette exists for. So does clear-shaders, which undoes whatever the program in a pane painted on it (shaders); bind it if you leave in_band_shaders on. rename-pane and rename-tab are unbound too, because a double-click on the title is the fast path.

> and < are the shifted period and comma. A terminal does not report the shift for punctuation, so . and , answer to them as well: the same deal / has with ?, and the reason the defaults bind both halves.
