Splits, docks and zoom

Inside Skink: Ctrl+E, then help splits.

| Key | Does | |---|---| | Ctrl+\ (old terminals: Ctrl+4) | split side by side (:vsplit [FILE]) | | Alt+\ | split top and bottom (:split [FILE]) | | Ctrl+W / Alt+Shift+W | next / previous pane | | Alt+Q | close the pane; its tab stays open (:unsplit, :only) | | Alt+= / Alt+- | grow / shrink the pane (or drag a divider or title row) | | Alt+T | a shell docked along the bottom (:termdock) | | Alt+Shift+T | the agent panel on the right (:agentdock) | | Alt+Z | zoom: only the text (:zoom) |

Every pane shows one tab. A file in two panes is one buffer with two cursors: edits show in both. Clicking a pane focuses it; switching tabs changes the focused pane. A terminal shows in one pane at a time; hiding a dock keeps its shell running in its tab.

Zoom hides the tab bar, tree and status line; the status line comes back while a prompt or message is up.

## Font size

Font size belongs to the terminal (Ctrl+= / Ctrl+- in most). :fontsize +1|-1|0 (:font, actions FontBigger, FontSmaller, FontReset) asks EveryAI when Skink runs inside it, or Kitty when remote control is allowed (allow_remote_control in kitty.conf).
