View Modes
Every VibeSpace has two canvas modes: Detailed and Terminal Board. Switch between them from the toolbar or keyboard.
Detailed
Detailed displays the file explorer, editor pane, and terminal pane side by side for editing code alongside terminal work.
Terminal Board
Terminal Board displays a resizable grid of project and standalone terminals, files, browsers, ACP panes, VibeCast, and Vibe Lanes without the Detailed view’s explorer and editor layout.
- Move focus between tiles without reflowing the surrounding grid.
- Minimize or transfer tiles to detached board windows.
- Open Spotlight to use the persistent Tab Shelf, search All Tabs, or combine two items.
- Type directly in the focused terminal.
Switching between modes
Switching modes keeps terminal sessions and their processes running.
CrispyVibe saves the selected mode and orientation for each VibeSpace and restores them the next time you open it.
Both modes keep terminal sessions running and can open Spotlight and AI agent surfaces. The resizable tile grid belongs to Terminal Board.
💡 Tip: Use Terminal Board when you’re running multiple AI agents across projects and don’t need the editor.
Where content opens
Content routing depends on the current view. In Detailed view, workspace surfaces open as tabs in the content viewer. In Terminal Board:
- Todos, VibeCast, and Vibe Lanes open in Spotlight.
- Agent chats open as board tiles.
- File and conversation previews open as docked previews.
Dismiss Spotlight or a preview to return to your terminals.
💡 Tip: Open Todos or VibeCast while running agents in Terminal Board. They appear over the board until you dismiss them.
