#cmux 0.61.0: Tab Colors, Command Palette, Pin Workspaces

Tab Colors. Right-click any workspace in the sidebar to assign it a color. There are 17 presets to choose from, or pick a custom color. Colors show on the tab itself and on the workspace indicator rail.

Tab Colors

Command Palette. Hit Cmd+Shift+P to open a searchable command palette. Every action in cmux is here: creating workspaces, toggling the sidebar, checking for updates, switching windows. Keyboard shortcuts are shown inline so you can learn them as you go.

Command Palette

Open With. You can now open your current directory in VS Code, Cursor, Zed, Xcode, Finder, or any other editor directly from the command palette. Type "open" and pick your editor.

Open With

Pin Workspaces. Pin a workspace to keep it at the top of the sidebar. Pinned workspaces stay put when other workspaces reorder from notifications or activity.

Pin Workspaces

Workspace Metadata. The sidebar now shows richer context for each workspace: PR links that open in the browser, listening ports, git branches, and working directories across all panes.
