When you're attached to a workspace (full-screen claude session) or the project manager pane is expanded full-screen, wsx still tracks the other workspaces in the background. Two affordances surface that:

  • A single-row status indicator above the footer, shown only when another workspace needs attention or has produced output in the last 60 seconds. Format: ⚠ <name> awaiting permission: <tool> (<age>) for attention, ● <name>: <event> (<age>) for activity. The row collapses to nothing when there's nothing to surface, giving claude the row back.

  • A floating panel via Ctrl-x u listing ALL workspaces grouped by repo, with their current state and latest event. Press Esc to close. The panel re-renders live, so ages count up and attention flags appear/clear in real time.

    From the panel, the selected workspace can be opened three ways:

    KeyAction
    Up / Down (or k / j)Move selection within the panel.
    EnterSwitch the current pane to the selected workspace (replaces it).
    vOpen the selected workspace in a vertical split (panes side by side, vim's :vsplit).
    sOpen the selected workspace in a horizontal split (panes stacked, vim's :split).
