Discoverable Rename, a Best-Match Palette & a Type-to-Select HUD

Navigation v1.3.1

Rename was double-click-only with no visible cue, so people missed it entirely — it now shows a hover affordance in the new-tab page and the sidebar and a Rename item in the group menu. The command palette gains a Best Matches section and closes on Esc from any focus, and type-to-select finally shows the query you're typing with a live match count. A handful of fixes round it out. Your honest read is the only feedback signal a solo developer gets.

  • Renaming a workspace or group now has a visible cue — a dotted underline and pencil on the name in the new-tab page and sidebar, plus a Rename item in the group right-click menu (double-click still works)
  • Command palette adds a Best Matches section — the top five results by fuzzy score, shown when your query hits across two or more sections
  • Esc now closes the palette from any focus, not only when the search box is focused
  • Type-to-select shows a live pill of what you've typed, with a match count that turns red when nothing matches
  • Fixes for hint-mode typing, double-click rename timing, workspace matching, and javascript links

Rename Is Findable Now

Renaming a workspace or group was double-click-only, with no visible cue — easy to miss entirely. The name now shows a hover affordance — a dotted underline and a small pencil — in both the new-tab page and the sidebar, and the group right-click menu has a Rename item. Double-click still works as before.

Command Palette: Best Matches & Esc From Anywhere

Esc used to close the palette only when the search box had focus, so tabbing to a result or clicking elsewhere left it stuck open. Esc now closes it from any focus.

Search also adds a Best Matches section: the top five results ranked by fuzzy score, shown when your query has hits across two or more sections so the strongest matches surface first.

Type-to-Select Shows What You Typed

Type-to-select highlights matching text as you type bare letters, but it never showed the letters themselves. A small pill now sits at the bottom of the screen echoing your live query, with a match count that turns red when nothing matches. It stays pinned to the viewport while the page scrolls to each match.

Fixes

  • Keyboard hint mode no longer captures keystrokes while you’re typing in a page input or text field.
  • Double-clicking a group to rename it no longer races the group-collapse timer.
  • Workspace matching consults the page that’s still loading, so a switch lands on the right workspace.
  • Triggering a javascript: link through a keyboard hint no longer fires the link’s default action.
  • Switching workspaces is guarded against an invalidated extension context.
