search conditions)¶

Save UI states for specific workflows as presets and restore them instantly with a shortcut.

Type	Saved contents	Default shortcut
Search presets (Search Presets)	Keyword, filters, sort, scope	—
Window placement presets	Window position/size, pane split ratio, display index	`Ctrl + Shift + W`
Nav pane layout presets	Left/right sidebar view composition, widths, active view	`Ctrl + Shift + J`
Layout set (combined)	All of the above bundled into a single preset	`Ctrl + Shift + L`

Apply at startup: Each preset can be flagged "apply at startup" so the next launch starts with that preset applied. Handy for placing the window on a specific monitor in multi-display setups.
Display index persistence: Window placement presets save the Screen.AllScreens index, so when the monitor configuration changes, the window automatically falls back to the nearest available monitor.

Setting all four nav-pane slots at once (the cross-shaped layout window)¶

What goes in the top and bottom of the left nav pane, and the same on the right, can be decided from a single window split into quadrants — no need to work through a menu per slot.

Opening it: use the ∨ button at the end of a pane's icon bar, or pick "Edit All Pane Slots" from the nav pane layout presets button in the status bar (Ctrl + Shift + J).
It is a window of its own, so it can be moved and resized — widen it if long view names are hard to read. The size you set is remembered for next time.
Knowing where you are: opening it from a ∨ button gives that quadrant a faint tinted face plus an accent outline and heading. It is not filled in, so the view names inside stay readable under every theme. Opening it from the presets button highlights nothing.
The checkbox (☑) is whether the view is listed in that side's icon bar, doing exactly what the old ∨ menu's checkboxes did — clear it to take a view off the bar.
Clicking a row makes it the view shown in that slot. The row turns the accent colour and gains a ◀ at its right.
Hovering a row tells you what that view can do. Under the name and a one-line summary comes a "What it does" section describing the actual capabilities (for "Frequent folders": "Tallies how often you open each folder and how long you stay. Click a heading to sort by name, last use or count."). Views with a sidebar shortcut also show it under "Shortcut" — your own key, if you have rebound it.
A view can only be shown in one slot, so choosing it elsewhere clears it from where it was. Terminals are the exception, since each side has its own, so one can sit on each side (to stack two on the same side, use "Terminal" and "Terminal 2").
You can see which rule applies before clicking. A row already showing in another slot — one that clicking would move here — carries a badge with an arrow and where it currently sits ("↰ Top Left" and so on); hovering spells it out in words. A terminal on the opposite side is never contested, so it carries no badge.
The top-left slot cannot be left empty — the nav pane would have nothing to show. An action that would empty it displays the reason and disables Apply.
Setting the top-right slot to "None" hides the right nav pane. Its icon bar is remembered, so showing it again brings everything back.
Nothing takes effect until you press Apply. Cancel, Esc or closing the window leaves everything as it was.
