Find your way around

Limn is one page with one sidebar. The sidebar takes you to every part of the app, lists your repositories and the tabs you have open, and shows the sync state at its foot. Search or jump finds a page, a setting, a pull request or a ticket by name.

#The sidebar

From top to bottom, the sidebar holds:

1. The workspace picker. The workspace every page shows. See Group repositories into workspaces.
2. Search or jump (⌘ K on a Mac, Ctrl K elsewhere). See below.
3. The pages. Open pull requests, Pending, This Sprint and Timeline (when you switch it on in Settings → Features); then, under Library, Docs and Feed; then, under Insights, Reports and Bots Monitoring.
4. Needs you: other workspaces with pull requests waiting on you.
5. Repositories: one line per repository, with its status dots and its number of open pull requests. It is closed until you open it, and it shows the first few rows, then Show all. Choose a repository to open its page. See Repository pages.
6. Open tabs: every tab you have open. See Tabs.
7. The foot: the sync state, your AI usage, the bell for My Turn notifications, the ? button (these docs, in a new browser tab, on the page for where you are), the keyboard shortcuts, light or dark, and your account menu. Settings is in the account menu. The short in-app help is in Search or jump: Help and keyboard shortcuts.

#Tabs

A pull request, a ticket's story, a person's activity or a list you drill into from a chart opens as a tab. The tabs are listed under Open tabs in the sidebar, and on a wide screen also along the top bar. Your place in each tab is kept while you move between them, and the browser's Back button returns to where you were.

See which tab is which

Hover a tab under Open tabs, or move to it with the keyboard, and a short card opens beside it. For a pull request it shows the repository, the author, its state, CI, the review, the AI review and the review threads by state. For a ticket it shows the status, the assignee and its pull requests; for a person, a bot or a list, what that tab shows. The card closes as soon as the pointer leaves the tab, or when you press Esc.

Pin a tab

Right-click a tab and choose Pin tab to keep it. A pinned tab has no close button, is listed first under Pinned, stays when you choose Close all, and comes back after a reload. Pull request, Focus, story and build tabs can be pinned. Focus tabs need the Timeline.

Group tabs by author

Group by author, beside the Open tabs heading, puts each pull request tab under its author's name: yours first, then the others A to Z.

#Search or jump

Search or jump opens a box that finds, as you type:

• every page and every tab inside a page;
• every repository page and every workspace;
• every Settings tab, and actions such as sync, theme and notifications;
• your open tabs, and every open pull request;
• after two characters, a search of the pull requests, comments and tickets Limn has stored. Choose Search everything to see all the results in a tab.

On a page with its own actions (a selected Pending row, a pull request), the box also lists those actions.

#On a phone or a narrow window

On a narrow screen the sidebar folds into a menu, and a bar at the bottom holds Open PRs, Pending, Sprint, Timeline (when it is on) and More. A dot on the menu button tells you when a repository's sync failed or the AI budget is near its limit. The Timeline shows as a list, one line per pull request.
