One Workspace
Pebrel (formerly Nebula) brings local shells, remote hosts, files, and AI command-line
tools into a native desktop workspace. Arrange terminals in tabs and splits, follow
each agent's activity, and read its output without leaving the application.
Terminals and Sessions
- Sidebar or top tabs, draggable split panes, and per-pane working directories.
- Saved workspace layouts and optional AI conversation restoration. On WSL and
Linux, Codex session metadata can supply an ID when its hook has not reported one.
- Native Windows Codex identity refreshes share a background helper with startup
cursor feedback disabled. Each refresh reads current metadata and remains bounded;
a stalled helper is stopped before a later refresh creates its replacement.
- On Windows, optional background residency keeps running sessions alive when you
close the window. Restoring a conversation after the process exits is a separate
feature and requires a supported CLI and a usable session identity.
- Context-aware and history completions, configurable keybindings, and integrated shell prompts.
- Saved-command management supports checkbox selection and one confirmation for a
batch, replacing repeated single-command deletion. Selection mode never runs a
command; changing the search or folder clears the selection. Select results
selects commands in the current filtered list, including rows below the viewport.
Manage → Delete all commands clears custom commands and all current built-in
recipes across platforms, regardless of the current search or folder; folders stay.
Clearing built-ins also includes recipes moved to other folders. Empty built-in
folders disappear, and Manage → Restore built-in commands restores deleted
recipes to their default folder. Custom deletions are not undoable here. Deleting
a custom folder requires confirmation and keeps its commands in Ungrouped.
Batch changes reuse the existing locked, refreshed, atomic store transaction;
the saved file format is unchanged and stale selections preserve unrelated edits.
- Remapping or disabling terminal shortcuts preserves text fields' native paste keys.
Restoring defaults updates existing windows without restarting. Runtime overrides
replace their previous rules, avoiding the stale disabled bindings from the append-only
path; the saved configuration format is unchanged. See the
shortcut ownership decision.
- Local Windows PowerShell prompts can keep multiline clipboard paste in
PSReadLine for review: Enter submits it, and one Undo removes the whole paste.
This requires active shell integration and no user binding on its managed paste shortcut.
PSReadLine normalizes CRLF and expands tabs to four spaces; other editors retain
their negotiated paste or existing confirmation behavior. See the
clipboard paste contract.
Intelligent Completion
Get suggestions from your current Git repository, project scripts, SSH config,
and filesystem—even when you have never run the command before. On Windows,
Pebrel also completes registered WSL distributions. These candidates come from
Pebrel's own completion engine, without a shell completion plugin or an AI request.
Five commands in a real Windows/PowerShell terminal: Git branches, npm scripts,
SSH aliases, WSL distributions, and a quoted filename with cat. Typed one
character at a time with the built-in Powerline prompt.
Choose Inline (Tab accepts the suggestion), List (Tab accepts the selected
candidate), or Hybrid (→ accepts the inline suggestion; Tab opens the list)
in Settings.
When Pebrel can query the pane's filesystem, file arguments to nvim, code, and
cat use its current directory; history only ranks the discovered candidates.
To choose among several files, select Hybrid: Tab opens the
list, subsequent Tab presses cycle candidates, and Enter inserts the selection
without running the command. Right arrow accepts the inline suggestion directly.
History completion recalls a command you have already executed. Here, echo dep
recalls echo deployment finished after its first run. The five examples above
discover candidates from the current environment without matching prior commands.
SSH and Files
- Search SSH hosts by name, address, group, tags or notes in the host library,
launcher, command palette and Quick Jump. Space-separated keywords must all match;
searches are case-insensitive. The launchers now use the same metadata as the host library.
- Saved hosts, SSH config aliases, proxy and jump-host options, private-key and
keyboard-interactive authentication, and host-key verification.
- SFTP browsing, uploads and downloads, folder transfers, progress, and cancellation.
- Local file browsing and Git actions alongside your terminals.
- Duplicated WSL and SSH tabs retain their known working directory.
