Transcript

0:00Beneath every layout is a tree -- lanes hold groups, groups hold panes.

0:04Start rysh and split right a couple of times. Each column you create is a pane group with its own flex weight.

0:14Switch to rysh mode and run ##pg list -- short for panegroup -- to see every group in the tab and its flex share.

0:32Lanes are the rows of columns that tile your tab. ##lane list shows them, with the panes they contain.

0:40Lanes, groups, panes -- a tidy hierarchy you can inspect any time from rysh mode.

Key takeaway
Tabs are made of lanes containing flex-weighted pane groups, inspectable via ##pg and ##lane.
