Chats side by side (M54)

  • Run up to four Claude chats or terminals side by side in the terminal panel, per repository — each repo keeps its own layout.
  • Open them from the new Split button in the panel (new Claude, new terminal, or one of your open tabs to the side), from the Claude menu (Open Claude to the side), or from the Activity Chats lens (To the side, next to Resume this chat).
  • Drag a tab onto a pane: drop it in the center to show it there, near an edge to add it on that side.
  • The layout adapts to the space — side by side, 2×2 grid or stacked, picking the one that leaves every chat enough rows and columns — or force Side by side / Stacked from the Split menu.
  • Each pane has a small header: zoom it (the others keep running), pop it out to a floating window, or remove it from the split (the terminal stays open as a tab).
  • One click gives the terminal panel the whole window; another click brings the editor back exactly as you left it.
  • Nothing restarts when a chat moves between panes: Claude keeps running and keeps its history.
  • A chat that is waiting for you and already visible just pulses its pane header instead of popping a notification.

No new dependencies.
