View Modes
CrispyVibe offers two canvas modes for every VibeSpace. Switch between them from the toolbar or keyboard.
Detailed view
Full project layout with file explorer, editor pane, and terminal pane side by side. Best for editing code alongside terminal work.
Terminal Only view
Each project gets its own dedicated terminal pane. Best for running multiple agents or CLI tools across projects without the editor.
- Orientation: switch between Vertical and Horizontal layout from the toolbar
- Selecting a pane does not reflow surrounding panes
- Type directly in the selected terminal
Switching between modes
Switching modes does NOT restart running terminal sessions — your processes keep running.
The selected mode and orientation are saved per VibeSpace and restored on next open.
Both modes support the full terminal board, spotlight, and AI agent features.
💡 Tip: Use Terminal Only mode when you’re running multiple AI agents across projects and don’t need the editor.
Surfaces follow you into board mode
CrispyVibe decides where each piece of content belongs based on your current view, so you’re never yanked out of your layout. In Detailed view, surfaces like Todos, VibeCast, a git diff, or an agent chat open as tabs in the content viewer. In Terminal Only view, the same surfaces float as a spotlight over the board instead of forcing you back to Detailed view — dismiss the spotlight to return to your terminals.
💡 Tip: Open Todos or VibeCast while running agents in Terminal Only mode — they float on top, then get out of the way when you dismiss them.
