Issues

The Issues tab provides a full-featured interface for browsing and managing GitHub issues.

Issue List

The list displays issues in an adaptive grid with sortable columns. Each row shows the issue number, title, state, labels, milestone, assignees, and timestamps.

Filtering

Interactive filter chips at the top of the list let you refine results by clicking to edit each filter. A collapsible refine panel provides pickers for:

  • State — Open, Closed, or All
  • Type — Issue type categories
  • Assignee — filter by assigned user
  • Labels — filter by one or more labels
  • Milestone — filter by milestone

For complex queries, switch to the raw query input for full power-user control.

Views and Templates

The view selector dropdown lets you switch between saved filter presets. Changes to filters show an “Unsaved changes” badge, and you can save or revert the current view.

Built-in templates provide common presets like “All Issues”, “Open Issues”, and “My Issues”.

Grouping and Sorting

Group issues by label, milestone, assignee, or type. Each group appears as a collapsible section. Columns are sortable by clicking their headers.

Selection and Bulk Actions

Enable selection mode with checkboxes for multi-select. When items are selected, a toolbar appears with bulk operations. Use Ctrl+A to select all visible issues.

Pagination

Issues load in pages. Click Load more at the bottom to fetch additional results.

Issue Detail

The Issues tab uses a master-detail layout. In split mode, clicking an issue shows its full detail inline within the tab. In list mode, clicking opens a separate Issue detail tab in the adjacent pane. Ctrl+Click always opens a separate tab.

The detail view includes:

  • Title (editable inline)
  • State badge — toggle between Open and Closed
  • Metadata — type, milestone, labels, assignees, and projects (all editable)

Body

The issue description renders as markdown with an Edit button to modify it. The editor supports markdown preview, image paste, and the full formatting toolbar.

Timeline

A chronological timeline shows comments, events (label changes, assignments, state changes), and reactions. Each comment can be edited or deleted inline.

Comment Editor

At the bottom, a comment form with the markdown toolbar lets you add new comments. Supports image paste and draft persistence across sessions.

Dropdowns provide access to:

  • Related issues — linked issues
  • Commits — commits referencing this issue

Creating Issues

Click the Create Issue button in the Issues list to open the creation form:

  • Title input
  • Metadata — type, assignees, milestone, labels, and project dropdowns (pre-filled from the active issue’s metadata or most-recently-used values)
  • Description — edit/preview tabs with the full markdown toolbar and image paste support
  • Create more checkbox for batch creation

Creating a sub-issue links it to the parent issue automatically.

Context Menu

Right-click an issue in the list for:

  • Add to Context List (for AI chat)
  • Open in Browser
  • Copy issue number

Auto-Refresh

The issue list and detail tabs refresh automatically via GitHub polling, keeping data in sync with remote changes.
