A few things I'd like to add, would you take them?

Hi @Gaurav-Gosain, thanks again for landing #1072. I moved over from tmux, and there are a few things I miss or would like to add. Before I polish any of them into PRs, I'd like to know which ones you'd want upstream, and how you'd want them shaped.

1. A nest mode for a nested multiplexer. prefix Enter sends every key to the focused pane, ctrl+b included, until a configurable exit key (F12 by default). The pane shows a "NEST" badge while it's on. It's the tmux-matryoshka workflow: run tmux or another tuios inside a pane and drive it without tuios catching its prefix. I have it working on a branch, with e2e tests (a nested tmux gets its own ctrl+b) and negative controls. send_prefix sends one prefix and lock is a setting, so neither covers this today.

2. One session order for every client. When I reorder sessions from one client, for example over SSH from my phone, the order on my Mac doesn't change. On my branch the daemon owns the order, the same way it owns DisplayName and Accent. A move goes through a daemon action, and every client gets it through MsgSessionsChanged. This looks close to #892 (a drag-set order snapping back with several clients) and follows the rule in #162. Sessions from other machines in the rail still keep a per-client order.

3. Open the pane finder ready to type. choose_tree opens on the list, so finding a pane is prefix / then /. An action, or an option, that opens it with the search line focused would make it one step. This one is small, and I haven't written it yet.

4. Touch: scroll the strip with a finger. In the scrolling layout, horizontal wheel with Alt already moves the strip by niri_scroll_cells. On a phone or tablet there is no way to drag it. I'm thinking of horizontal drag in tuios-web, and maybe an optional snap to the nearest column when the gesture ends, like niri. This is only an idea for now.

Which of these would you be interested in? I'm happy to open them as separate PRs, change the names or the approach, or keep any of them in my fork if they don't fit.

Hey @udiNur, thanks for asking first, and for #1072! Short version: yes to all four, as separate PRs.

1. Nest mode: yes please. Lock mode still keeps the leader for itself, so it can't drive a nested tuios or tmux, and that's exactly the gap this fills. A few shape notes:

• Make it an action (nest, or whatever reads best next to lock), so people can bind it anywhere. prefix Enter as the default sounds good if it's free in all three presets.
• Show the exit key in the badge or the which-key text, so nobody gets stuck in it.
• Your e2e with a nested tmux getting its own ctrl+b is the right proof.

2. One session order for every client: yes, and this should also fix #892, so please link it with "Fixes #892". The daemon owning it, the same way as DisplayName and Accent, is the right shape. Two things to check: an older client that still reorders locally shouldn't fight the daemon's order, and the order should survive a daemon restart through the saved sessions.

3. Finder ready to type: yes, small and nice. I'd do it as an option on the action rather than a second action, so one key can do either. A setting like choose_tree_search = true works too, if that's easier to bind.

4. Touch scroll in the strip: I like it. tuios-web just got a new opt-in renderer with its own touch layer (sip v0.10.0), so build it on top of that. A tap, a vertical swipe and a long press already have meanings there, so a horizontal drag fits. Snap to the nearest column at the end of the gesture sounds great, as an option.

For all of them: plain short UI text, and e2e over unit tests (AGENTS.md has the details). Looking forward to these!

Thanks again for the quick yes! All four are up now, each as its own PR on current main, and CI is green on all of them:

• feat(input): nest mode, every key to the pane until nest_exit_key #1190: nest mode (prefix Enter, exit on F12, shown in the dock). Its e2e drives a real nested tmux.
• feat(session): one session order for every client, kept by the daemon #1191: one session order for every client, kept by the daemon (Fixes [BUG]: Terminal order set by mouse drag in the sidebar reverts to the original order after a while #892). It also covers an older client and a daemon restart.
• feat(ui): open the pane navigator ready to type, with panes.navigator_search #1192: the pane navigator can open ready to type (panes.navigator_search).
• feat(web): scroll the strip with a finger, and snap it to a column #1193: drag the strip with a finger in tuios-web, built on the sip touch layer, with an optional snap to the nearest column.

Each one has e2e tests and negative controls, and I followed AGENTS.md as closely as I could. Is there anything you'd like done differently before you review? For example, a more thorough review pass on my side, a different split, or a specific area you'd like tested more. I'm happy to do whatever makes them easier for you to land.

@udiNur thanks for turning all four around so fast! #1192 is already in. I left review notes on #1190, #1191 and #1193, and those are all I'd change. The split into four PRs is just right. Once those are addressed I'll take another look and land them.
