Navigation and file workflows
Superconductor’s navigation tools are worktree-aware, so search results and actions stay tied to the active worktree.
Search for anything
Section titled “Search for anything”The command palette’s global search surfaces:
- Commands.
- Files in the current worktree.
- Worktrees across your workspaces.
- Open tabs.
For Git-backed worktrees, file results come from a local file index. Right after you open a repository, file search shows an “Indexing files…” state briefly before results arrive.
File search
Section titled “File search”File search scopes to the active worktree by default. Rows for changed files show an additions and deletions pill. Use file search to:
- Open a file an agent mentions.
- Jump to a changed file before opening the full diff.
- Confirm whether a generated file or lockfile changed.
- Move from a chat prompt to the source file it references.
Ignored files stay hidden by default; toggle the Ignored filter to include them.
Worktrees and tabs
Section titled “Worktrees and tabs”Worktree and tab search locates open worktrees and tabs, including multiple worktrees that belong to the same repository. From a Superconductor-launched session, set the tab title with:
sc tab title "Fix Login Redirect"Open in external apps
Section titled “Open in external apps”Superconductor can open the active worktree in installed macOS developer tools. Detected apps include Ghostty, Zed, Cursor, VS Code, Finder, Warp, Terminal, iTerm2, Xcode, Sublime Text, Android Studio, and JetBrains IDEs such as IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm, GoLand, RubyMine, CLion, PhpStorm, Rider, and RustRover.
External app actions can:
- Open the worktree in an editor.
- Open a separate terminal emulator.
- Reveal the worktree in Finder.
- Open the project in an installed IDE.
External tools operate on the same worktree directory, so their changes appear in Superconductor’s review surfaces.
Dragging files into a worktree
Section titled “Dragging files into a worktree”Drop external files onto the file tree to import them into the worktree. Superconductor rejects drop targets outside the workspace and prompts before replacing any file or folder that already exists at the destination; Cancel discards the entire drop.
Imports add concrete artifacts to the repository, such as fixtures, screenshots, generated examples, or files supplied by another tool. For temporary context, use a chat attachment or paste instead.
