Workspace
The Workspace tab is where you browse the project tree, open files, review history, and keep a dashboard terminal nearby.
Layout
The workspace view is built from resizable panels:
- File tree · live-scanned, virtualized tree suited to large repositories. Press Enter or Space to open or expand.
- Editor · tabbed file viewer with Markdown rendering for
.mdfiles - History column · commit timeline and per-file line diffs
Drag panel dividers to fit your layout.
Previews
Image files open as previews. Supported formats include PNG, GIF, JPG, WebP, BMP, ICO, SVG, and AVIF.
Hidden files
Dotfiles appear in the tree when Settings → General → Show hidden files is enabled (on by default).
Open in IDE
Launch the current workspace in a supported IDE when you need a full editing environment. Availability depends on platform and installed apps, typically including:
- VS Code
- Zed
- IntelliJ / WebStorm
- Xcode (macOS only)
- Other platform-dependent launchers such as Antigravity and Codex
On Windows, VS Code and Zed are the most reliable targets. See Platforms for differences.
Dashboard terminal
The dashboard terminal streams diagnostics, git, and runner output, and accepts manual commands. OmniSync asks for confirmation before first use because the shell runs with your user permissions. On Windows the default shell is PowerShell; you can switch to Command Prompt or Git Bash in Settings → General.
