When to reach for tmax

If any of these sound like your week, you'll feel at home.

🤖

Running multiple AI sessions in parallel

Spin up Claude Code in one pane, Copilot in another, a build log in a third. Track which ones are thinking, waiting for approval, or completed from the side panel.

⌨

Keyboard-first navigation

Ctrl+Shift+P opens a VS Code-style command palette to jump anywhere: switch terminals, split a pane, toggle a panel. Shift+Arrow moves focus between panes. Every shortcut is rebindable in settings.

🔭

Name sessions, watch in grid, focus when needed

Rename any tab or AI session so you know at a glance what each one is doing. Flip to grid view to watch several agents progress in parallel, then zoom into one with focus mode (Ctrl+Shift+F) when it's time to pay attention.
