S - Search

Full-text search across your project

G - Git

Visual git interface (branch, commit, push)

T - Terminal

Terminal session manager

W - Wallet

Center Area#

The center area contains the Monaco editor with tabbed navigation. Two tabs are permanently pinned:

  • Browser with built-in security sandbox for previewing your app
  • Dashboard with real-time token price, holders, and charts

Right Panel: DAEMON Console#

The right rail hosts the DAEMON Console, the chat-first home of ARIA, the operator agent. Toggle it with Ctrl+B, or move it to the bottom panel beside the terminal.

  • Console - per-project chat sessions with ARIA, slash commands, and the model lane dropdown
  • Dashboard for quick access to token metrics
  • Sessions to view and manage active agent sessions

Bottom Terminal#

A full xterm.js terminal powered by real PTY sessions via node-pty:

  • Multiple terminal tabs
  • Split panes (horizontal and vertical)
  • Per-project terminal sessions
  • Command history with Ctrl+R
  • Tab completion
  • Search with Ctrl+Shift+F

Status Bar#

Runs along the bottom and displays the current git branch, market ticker (live token prices), and wallet balance (SOL + USD value).
