PaneCrew

PaneCrew enhances the VS Code environment by enabling simultaneous management of multiple command-line sessions. Key features include: • Gridded terminal layout for multiple CLI agents • Focus-following file explorer across projects • Support for multi-root VS Code workspaces • Real PTY-backed terminals for each session This extension transforms your coding workflow by providing a unified view of various computational agents like Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and GitHub Copilot CLI, alongside standard shell sessions. Instead of switching between tabs, PaneCrew displays up to four independent terminal panes concurrently, arranged in customizable layouts. This direct visibility eliminates the need for constant context switching, allowing you to monitor progress and interact with different projects or agents without interruption. The focus-following file explorer dynamically adjusts to the active terminal, ensuring that the relevant project files are always at your fingertips. This integration streamlines navigation and reduces friction when working across diverse codebases. The ability to add new project folders to the workspace, each with its own dedicated pane, further enhances productivity for developers juggling multiple tasks or collaborating on complex systems. PaneCrew is ideal for software engineers, developers, and researchers who leverage multiple command-line coding assistants and manage several projects within VS Code. It is particularly beneficial for those who require a highly organized and efficient workspace to maximize their development speed.
