Panels¶
sf-deck has four panels. Each has one job.
Tab strip¶
Top of the screen. Each tab gets a number. Press the digit to jump.
Tabs that don't fit get folded into a "more" overflow you open with
0. The order is configurable — pin your most-used tabs first via
the settings modal (Ctrl+S).
Some tabs have subtabs — a second strip just below the main one.
Shift + a digit (Shift+1, Shift+2, …) jumps to the matching
subtab.
Left rail¶
Lists every org you're authenticated to (as sf org list knows
them). The active one is highlighted. Next to each org is its safety
pill — read-only, records, metadata, or full.
The rail also surfaces the loaded dev project and any pinned tabs beyond the visible strip.
To switch orgs, press ' to focus the rail, move with j / k, and
Enter to hop. The rail is also there so you always know what you're
looking at.
Toggle the rail with | if you need the horizontal space.
Main pane¶
Whatever the active tab shows. Most tabs are list-shaped: a chip strip at the top, a table below, a footer hint at the bottom.
The cursor sits in the main pane. Up/down moves it; Enter drills.
Sidebar (right)¶
Context-sensitive. Whatever's interesting about the cursored row. For a record, it's every field. For a flow, it's the last-modified-by + version count + a list of every sObject the flow touches. For an apex class, it's a one-line summary + a list of classes that reference it.
Toggle with \. Stack it below the main pane instead of beside it
with Ctrl+\ (better on narrow terminals).
Press i on a row to expand the sidebar's content into a full
modal — same data, more room to read.
Status bar¶
Bottom of the screen. Two parts:
- Last flash message — sf-deck's way of telling you what just happened. Errors, confirmations, brief hints.
- Key hints — the most relevant shortcuts for the current screen.
The status bar isn't a log. Messages are transient. If you want a
history of what sf-deck has done, see the applog tab on /system.
