Overview🔗

Overview mode shows all your workspaces at once as a zoomed-out strip. You can navigate between windows and workspaces without leaving overview.

Entering and Exiting🔗

Toggle overview with the configured binding (default Super+o) or:

triad msg toggle-overview

Press Return to confirm the selected window and exit. Press Escape to exit without changing focus.

Navigation🔗

Arrow keys navigate spatially within the focused workspace. When you reach the edge of a workspace, Up and Down cross to the adjacent workspace preview. Left and Right stop at the horizontal boundary of the focused layout.

PgUp and PgDn jump directly between workspace previews, skipping intra-workspace navigation.

Overview visits occupied workspaces and the active workspace. Empty dynamic workspaces are hidden from the strip.

How Each Layout Renders in Overview🔗

Each workspace renders itself into its assigned thumbnail rect according to its own layout:

Binding Example🔗

bindings {
  bind "Super+o"       "toggle-overview"
  bind "Alt+Tab"       "recent-window-next"
  bind "Alt+Shift+Tab" "recent-window-prev"
}

The MRU switcher (recent-window-next / recent-window-prev) is separate from overview — it cycles through your most recently used windows without the zoomed-out view. Both are available at the same time.
