Files

A Sidetrack widget that shows the workspace's files beside your work, to read and to change a little.

How it works

  1. Add Files to Sidetrack from its +. Press the well at its head to find a file by name, or the tile at its left for the Folder tree. With no file open, it lists your Recent files.
  2. Files open here from a loop's file badges, a Changes row, an artifact's menu, a path ⌘-clicked in a terminal, the command palette's Files, or an agent.
  3. Each open file is a tab under the head. ⌘W closes the one showing.
  4. Edit it and press ⌘S to save; nothing is saved otherwise. Right-click selected lines for Add to loop, which hands them to a loop with their line range.
  5. The button at the head's right opens the file in your editor, and its arrow, Open with, lists the other apps that can.

Good to know

  • If the file changes on disk while you have unsaved edits, it says Changed on disk: Reload takes the new one, and Keep mine keeps yours for the next save to write over it.
  • A file outside the workspace's folders is read-only until you press Allow editing. A binary or very large file is not shown, and offers Open in editor.
  • Quitting, or removing the workspace, asks before unsaved edits are lost.
