Transcript
0:00Move through your workspace without lifting your hands from the keyboard.
0:03Start rysh. We'll build out a few panes and tabs so there is something to navigate.
0:08Ctrl+P then n splits a pane to the right. Ctrl+T then n opens a fresh tab.
0:15Press Tab to cycle to the next pane. Alt+Up and Alt+Down step between panes too.
0:24Brackets move between tabs -- left bracket back, right bracket forward. Alt+Left and Alt+Right do the same.
0:34On macOS, Option plus arrow can be tricky, so Alt+B and Alt+F also walk between your tabs.
0:42One muscle memory for panes, one for tabs. That is your whole workspace.
Key takeaway
Two key habits -- one for panes, one for tabs -- cover all of workspace navigation.
