What

Plugin panes (side panels that plugins can open) gained navigation support:

  • Two new commands, pane:next and pane:previous ("show next plugin pane" / "show previous plugin pane"), let you cycle between multiple open panes, alongside the existing pane:grow/pane:shrink/pane:close commands.
  • A tab strip component shows the other open panes with a way to pick one directly.
  • A new closeOnEscape pane option, a dock "tail" indicator element, and a toast-hold hook were also added to support this.

Why

This makes it practical to work with several plugin panes open at once, giving you a quick way to switch between them instead of only being able to close or resize one at a time.

What the documentation says
Since it was published

The entry above is what we published on the day. These lines were added later, as Anthropic's own pages caught up, and they sit beside the original rather than replacing it.

Confirmed since Anthropic's documentation has since written up pane:previous, on Customize keyboard shortcuts. Actions for a pane drawn by a [mod](/docs/en/plugins/mods/interface#know-which-keys-your-mod-can-receive). The scroll, resize, and close actions apply in the `Pane` [context](#contexts). `pane:close` also applies in the `PaneField` context… keybindings see the edit
