Under the Vim preset, `:` opens a transient one-line ex overlay running a fixed v1 table; ZZ runs :wq directly. Completes the last built child of the T-403 cross-pane vim layer (T-405 part 2 gt/gT still open). - ExLineController + parseExCommand grammar + editor-targeted executors (lib/kernel/src/ex_line.dart); the overlay (lib/widgets/src/ex_line_overlay .dart) reuses the quick-open chrome, mounts in the root_shell Stack, and publishes the exline.open scope flag. Unknown commands flash + stay open; with no active buffer every command no-ops (2026-06-13 decision). - :q closes the active tab via editor.close on its id — the registry promotes the next buffer and the split self-collapses on the last (2026-06-12 decision); :w/:wq/:x/ZZ save (+close) the active buffer. - :e <path> seeds quick-open (new QuickOpenController.open(seed:)); :N adds the editor.goto-line IPC/CLI verb (reuses _offsetForLine). Goto needs caret sync: EditorController now handles editor.selection-changed and the editor view moves the caret on a selection-only change. - `:` and ZZ are typed intents; the editor matcher and PaneKeyNav now bubble unhandled typed intents to the app-root Actions, so they fire from any focus. vim.yaml binds `:`, ZZ (shift+z shift+z), and Esc-dismiss. Tests: parser/controller/executors, editor.goto-line daemon tests, selection-changed (controller + view), full overlay widget test. make test green; analyze + format clean. Also files T-441 (drop bold from the ticket-id card label) and T-442 (sub-agent renders as 3 cards instead of one bundle) under the T-276 UI epic.

clide
An IDE for Claude Code CLI. Native rendering, terminal-first interaction, pql-powered queries, canvas and graph surfaces. Linux and macOS.
Architecture
Single Flutter package at the repo root. The app hosts everything in-process: IPC server, subsystem handlers (pane, files, editor, git, pql), and the extension framework. tmux owns Claude session persistence (D-41).
lib/— all Dart code. Core subsystems (lib/src/), kernel services (lib/kernel/), UI widgets (lib/widgets/), built-in extensions (lib/builtin/), the extension framework (lib/extension/).- PTY —
lib/src/pty/spawns child processes via Dart FFIposix_openpt()+posix_spawn()directly; no external helper binary. native/— vendored native libraries (libtree-sitter.sowith wasmtime embedded). Linux only today.- pql — external supporter tool. Clide wraps it for every query surface; never re-implements it.
Claude drives the UI through a clide CLI surface (Bash, not MCP). Every CLI subcommand has a UI affordance and every UI action has a CLI equivalent (D-6).
Built-in extensions
canvas, claude, claude_control, decisions, diff, editor, extensions_ui, files, git, graph, grammars_core, ipc_status, keybindings_ui, markdown, pql, problems, settings_ui, terminal, theme_picker, tickets, todos, welcome.
Building
Requires Flutter (stable channel) and pql
on the host. pql is a hard dependency — the pre-push gate runs pql decisions validate and the governance + ticket workflow is built on it (see its repo for
install). One-time setup:
make hooks && flutter pub get
pql init # once, in the repo root — wires up the pql skill + perms
Then:
make run # launch the desktop app
make test # fast suite: analyze + format + unit + widget + golden
make test-core # core subsystem tests (IPC, PTY, git, pane registry)
make test-a11y # accessibility contract tests
make test-integration # real app boot integration tests
make build-linux # flutter build linux
make build-macos # flutter build macos
make push-check # pre-push gate: decisions + core + fast + a11y + coverage + changelog
Status
Pre-v2.0 (2.0.0-dev). Interaction model and panel system landed. The Python Textual v1.2.0 predecessor is archived under legacy/.
