Agent Pane Switcher

The Agent Pane Switcher is back2vibing’s replacement for Command-Tab. It lists running apps in most-recently-used order, and expands the selected app into the agent sessions and windows underneath it — including sessions that live inside a tmux pane or an SSH host, which Command-Tab cannot reach at all.

Open it with the shortcut set in Keyboard → Agent pane switcher (Alt-Tab by default).

While you move, the switcher peeks the highlighted target — it raises that window behind the panel so you can see it before committing. Escape puts back whatever the peek covered.

An app row carries its icon, name, and a count of the sessions and windows beneath it. When an app has agent sessions, the selected row expands to list them with:

  • an attention dot — blue for waiting on you, purple for working, orange for finished and unviewed
  • the workspace the session runs in
  • the chain the session sits behind, such as tmux seoul · %3
  • a window badge when the row raises a plain window rather than a pane

Rows the liveness sweep proves dead are hidden for the rest of the session, and the footer reports how many.
