Learn the layout
Supaterm has three levels:
- Spaces separate areas of work.
- Tabs live inside a space and can be pinned.
- Panes are split terminal regions inside a tab.
The sidebar shows spaces, pinned tabs, regular tabs, unread activity, working directories, and coding-agent status. Toggle it with Command-S.
