Layout Presets
Layout presets are saved layouts you can drop onto any monitor running Tabbed Layout Mode. The presets themselves are free to browse and customize; applying one requires Pro because Tabbed Layout Mode is Pro-only. Use the built-ins, save your own, and trigger them from the Snap Wheel, a keyboard shortcut, or set one as the default for new stages.
Built-in presets
One Full Screen
A single full-screen pane. Drop one window in to give it the whole monitor without leaving Tabbed Layout Mode.
Split View
Two equal panes side by side. Good for code + browser, or doc + reference.
Top / Bottom
Two equal panes stacked vertically. Ideal for vertical monitors and chat + content layouts.
Focus + Stack
One large primary pane with two smaller stacked panes on the side. The classic editor + sidebars layout.
Four Corners
Four equal quadrants. Great for monitoring dashboards or running four parallel apps.
Saving your own
Open Settings > Window Modes and click New Layout. The editor lets you split panes by dragging from any pane edge, resize panes by dragging their handles, and remove panes by selecting them. Name the layout when you're done and it shows up alongside the built-ins.
Triggering a preset
Once saved, a preset can be applied to any monitor in three ways:
- From the Snap Wheel → Window Modes → Tabbed Layout Mode → pick the preset
- From a custom keyboard shortcut bound in Settings > Shortcuts
- As the Default Tabbed Layout for new stages (Settings > Window Modes)
Editing & deleting
Edit a saved preset from the same place you created it. Built-in presets can't be deleted, but you can duplicate one as a starting point for a custom layout.
