Workspaces

A workspace captures your current terminal layout — tabs, pane splits, and their arrangement — so you can restore it later with a single action.

  • All open tabs and their order
  • Pane splits within each tab
  • A name and optional color for identification

Open the workspace panel with Command+Control+W or via the command palette.

From the panel you can:

ActionDescription
CreateSave the current layout as a new named workspace
RestoreRe-open a saved workspace’s tabs and panes
SaveUpdate an existing workspace with the current layout
EditRename or change the color of a workspace
ReorderDrag workspaces into a different order
DeleteRemove a workspace permanently
CloseDismiss the workspace from the panel (asks for confirmation if unsaved)

A workspace is marked as dirty when the current layout differs from its last saved state. Save it explicitly to keep the changes.

Up to 9 workspaces can be switched to directly:
