Native workspace tabs
Availability: macOS desktop only.
Each native tab contains a complete workspace, with its own project, conversation, editor layout, and Browser strip. The system window buttons share a row with the workspace breadcrumb; the native tab bar appears below it.
Create and select workspaces
In the macOS desktop app, Command+T opens a new native workspace tab in the current window. The Window menu also provides New Workspace Window, next/previous workspace tab, Move Workspace Tab to New Window, Merge All Workspace Windows, and a tab-bar toggle. The native tab bar's + button opens another workspace tab.
Each native tab has its own selected project, conversation, editor grid and editor view state. Use the project switcher inside a tab to choose its project. All tabs share one API runtime and server-owned projects, conversations, settings and terminals. Opening the same conversation in several workspaces does not duplicate its agent runtime.
Move editor and Browser tabs
Native workspace tabs contain an entire workspace. Editor and terminal tabs sit inside it. Drag a supported editor tab beyond the left or right edge of its window to move it to a new workspace window. Drag above the window to move it to a new native workspace tab. Named destinations inside the workspace provide the same actions, and the editor tab's context menu offers Move to New Window and Move to New Workspace Tab.
The Browser's inner page tabs support the same drag destinations. Moving one page leaves the other pages in the original Browser. Each native workspace saves its Browser strip independently.
Starting a drag immediately shows a provisional workspace that follows the cursor, including inside the source window, without taking focus or intercepting mouse events. You can continue reordering tabs in the same gesture. Releasing outside promotes that same prepared window; Escape or a drop into the source disposes it. Provisional windows are excluded from saved workspace layouts. Dragging from a fullscreen or maximized workspace creates a normal window at approximately half the display size, subject to the workspace minimum size and available display area.
Before the destination interface is ready, a native preview shows a single snapshot of the visible dragged pane, including the native Browser page. An inactive tab or conversation shows its own title while loading, rather than another pane's content. The native window replaces the small tab drag image and stays attached to the pointer.
Close and restore workspaces
Command+W closes an editor tab inside the workspace. The red window button and Command+Shift+W (Window → Close Window) request a save of pending writes, then hide the entire native workspace group. Reopening Localix from the Dock or Show Localix in the menu bar brings back the same tabs, order, selected workspace and routes. Each workspace reopens on the conversation it last showed, in that conversation's project; if the conversation has since been deleted, the workspace opens its project instead. The route is saved as soon as you open a conversation, so a crash or force quit reopens it too. New Workspace Window creates a separate fresh workspace.
Use a native workspace tab's close button or Window → Close Workspace Tab to remove that workspace after a bounded save request. The last workspace remains hidden and reopenable. Command+Q requests a save from every workspace and saves native groups for the next launch, including groups whose windows are hidden. The save request has a time limit; an unresponsive workspace may leave pending writes unsaved. Forced process termination does not guarantee the latest grouping.
Platform and shortcut limits
AppKit owns the titlebar and tab-bar geometry, including detached tabs and fullscreen. Native workspace tabs are available only in the macOS desktop shell; browser, Windows and Linux clients keep their editor grid. In macOS desktop, workspace-symbol search uses Command+Option+Shift+O when its binding would otherwise use Command+T. File-search presets that use Command+T fall back to Command+P; other overrides using Command+T are unassigned because AppKit reserves that key.
Saved window visibility is restored on launch. Older layouts without visibility information reopen only the last active window group; the remaining groups stay hidden and available to reopen.
