Sessions’ switcher

brzvskThread Management
Get it for macOS

Switch between seven recent sessions with Alt+Tab-style controls. Hold the shortcut modifier, select with the keyboard or pointer, then release to open. Choose horizontal cards or a vertical list, with provider icons and live running and unread indicators. No extra account or service is required.

What you get

  • Hold Cmd and tap backtick to step through your seven most recent sessions. Release Cmd to open the selected one; Escape cancels.
  • Point at a card to select it, or use the arrow keys and Tab.
  • Horizontal cards or a vertical list: choose in Settings → Installed plugins → Sessions’ switcher → Layout.
  • Each session shows its project and BB’s own live sidebar status: running, unread, error and waiting for input.
  • Provider icons follow the sidebar’s Organize → Rows → Provider icons setting.

How it works

The list is ordered by the sessions you actually opened, so a working agent does not reshuffle it. Opened sessions come first, then recently updated ones. Archived, hidden and deleted threads are left out. The visit history stays in this BB profile’s local storage.

When a Browser tab is open, the switcher appears beside it, because the native page draws above plugin overlays.

Shortcut

Cmd+backtick on Mac and Ctrl+backtick elsewhere by default. Rebind it in Settings → Keyboard. The command palette also opens the list for click or Enter selection.

Archived Threads ToggleShow or hide archived threads in the sidebar with one click. An archive button in the sidebar footer adds archived threads to bb's thread list, and a second click removes them. It flips the same active/archived setting as Organize in the list, so the choice stays after a reload. Requires bb's built-in Thread list plugin to stay enabled.NewAuto-hide PanelGive the thread its full width back when you close the last tab in the right panel. The panel hides itself as soon as its last file or other content tab closes. Info and Diff do not count, and Info you open yourself stays open. Loading the plugin or switching threads never hides the panel.NewBrowser GesturesSwipe two fingers on the trackpad to go back and forward in the BB browser. A dark arrow slides in from the edge as you swipe, and the page changes when you lift your fingers; pull back to cancel. Vertical scrolling and horizontal scrollers that can still move keep working as before. Requires the BB desktop app and a trackpad.NewPlay ContinueStop a run with a double Escape and pick up a stopped turn with one Play click. Two Escape presses within 400 ms press BB's own Stop button, and the Stop icon shows Esc after the first press. After a stopped, failed or restart-interrupted turn, Play replaces the disabled Send button and asks the agent to continue, checking state before repeating uncertain actions. No account, service or settings.New
