0:00Stack panes like a deck of cards -- many terminals in the footprint of one.

0:04Start rysh with a single pane.

0:09Press Ctrl+P then s to stack a new pane on top of the group. The border title now reads one of two.

0:17Stack another and the title shows one of three. Only the front pane is full-size.

0:25The panes behind it sit in the same slot, showing up as grey title bars at the bottom -- a deck you flip through.

0:35Stacking keeps related terminals together without crowding your screen. Next up: rotating through the stack.

Key takeaway
Stacking layers panes into one slot like a deck of cards, shown by a [1/N] border title.
