Layouts
Glint includes nine layout presets that instantly rearrange your panes and redistribute tabs. Apply them with Alt+1 through Alt+9.

| Alt+3 | Widescreen | 4 | Four columns with a dedicated terminal |
| Alt+4 | Ultrawide | 5 | Five columns for very wide displays |
| Alt+5 | Focus | 1 | Single pane — all tabs together |
| Alt+6 | Workbench | 3 | Two-pane right side with a top/bottom split |
| Alt+7 | Workshop | 4 | Sidebar with split right area and bottom tools |
| Alt+8 | Command Center | 5 | Sophisticated arrangement for power users |
| Alt+9 | Three Column | 3 | Three equal columns |
How Tab Distribution Works
When you apply a layout, all your tabs are automatically redistributed to the correct panes based on their purpose:
- Navigation tabs (File Browser, Commit History) go to the leftmost pane
- Provider tabs (Issue list, PR list) go to the next pane
- Reference tabs (Branches, Tags, Settings) go to the middle
- Active work tabs (Files, Issues, PRs) go toward the right
- Terminal tabs go to the rightmost or bottom pane
Pane Sizing
- Navigation and provider panes have fixed widths (450px and 540px)
- All other panes share the remaining space equally
- Minimum pane width is 100px
Default Layout
You can set which layout is applied to new Repo tabs via Settings > Display > Default Layout. The current default is marked in the View > Layouts menu.
Combining with Drag-to-Split
Layout presets are a starting point. After applying a preset, you can further customize by dragging tabs to create additional splits. See Split Panes for details.
