A shelf for every repository

  • The Shelf at the bottom of the Explorer is always there now, with a ⚙ that opens its own page in
    Settings → Shelf.
  • Set aside a folder or a file, or a rule: every folder or file matching a name or a pattern, like bin,
    *.Tests, .* or *.DotSettings.user. It applies to this repository or to every repository you open.
  • Shelve dot-folders puts .git, .vs, .idea and the like away in one click, in every repository;
    Shelve noise folders does it for node_modules, target and dist.
  • Shelved items are real tree items: git colors, the full right-click menu, and they remember what you opened.
    A rule shows what it takes (bin — 12 folders) and opens on that list.
  • The eye shows shelved items back in the tree, dimmed. Categories get colors, can be renamed or deleted,
    and can stay out of search and Quick Open.
  • Drag a folder from the tree onto a category, resize the shelf from its top edge, and undo any change from its
    notice. A dot tells you when something you shelved has changed.
  • The Shelf now works in the Solution view too.

Split the editor your way

  • Drop a tab on any edge of an editor group (left, right, top or bottom) to open a new group there, or in the
    middle to move it. Up to six groups, with draggable splitters; the layout comes back when you reopen Orbit.

Six chats side by side

  • Up to six Claude chats or terminals side by side per repository, in a 3×2 grid on a wide screen.
