Quick launcher

Ctrl+K (Cmd+K on macOS) opens a single search box covering everything Muxus knows about, and acts on the selected result.

The quick launcher The quick launcher
Hosts, tabs, files, workspaces, commands, tunnels and history in one result list.

What it searches

Category Action
Saved hosts (SSH, Telnet, serial) Connect
Open tabs Switch to it, or reconnect if it dropped
Editor files open in a session Jump to the file
Workspaces Open it
Saved command buttons Send the command to the focused terminal
Keyboard commands (the whole keymap) Run it, with its chord shown
Tunnels Start or stop it in place
Session history Open the retained session
App actions (settings, history, workspaces, shortcuts) Open it
Anything that looks like a target Connect ad-hoc to user@host:port

Matching is token-based: every entered word must appear somewhere in the entry, so prod db matches db-01 in the Production/Data folder. Results are ranked, and Enter runs the highest-ranked one.

Keys

Key Action
Ctrl+K Open (and close)
Up / Down Move through results
Enter Run the highlighted result
Esc Close

Each row states the action Enter will perform: connect, switch, tunnel or action.

The sidebar search box is the other half

In the sidebar, the search box filters the tree and connects on Enter, including ad-hoc user@host targets. The quick launcher extends the same behaviour to every other category, and works with the sidebar hidden.
