interface overview

Twig's interface is organized to keep your code, the agent, and tools accessible while you work. This page walks through the main areas.

main layout

The interface is divided into several key areas:

sidebar

The left sidebar provides navigation and workspace management:

• file tree - browse and open files in your project
• workspace list - switch between active workspaces
• search - find files and code across the project

Collapse the sidebar when you need more space for code.

editor pane

The central area where you view and edit files:

• tabs - open multiple files and switch between them
• syntax highlighting - language-aware code coloring
• line numbers - easy reference for code locations

agent chat

The right side (or bottom, depending on layout) hosts the agent interface:

• message input - type your requests here
• conversation history - see past messages and agent actions
• action previews - review proposed changes before approval

terminal

An integrated terminal at the bottom of the window:

• shell access - run any command you'd run in your regular terminal
• command history - access previous commands
• multiple sessions - open additional terminal tabs if needed

navigation

keyboard shortcuts

Common shortcuts to speed up your workflow:

command palette

Access commands quickly with the command palette (cmd + shift + p). Type to search for actions like:

• Opening files
• Running commands
• Changing settings
• Workspace operations

customization

layout

Adjust the layout to match how you work:

• Resize panes by dragging borders
• Collapse sections you don't need
• Rearrange panels (where supported)

appearance

Twig follows your system appearance settings (light/dark mode) by default.

tips

• maximize the editor when focused on reading code
• keep the agent visible when working on complex tasks
• use the terminal for quick commands instead of switching apps
• open multiple files to compare code side-by-side
