Spaces and separate logins
A Space is a set of pinned tabs, folders and Today tabs with its own name, icon and colour. Use one for work, one for a side project, one per client. Favorites are shared: they stay in every Space.
Create a Space
Section titled “Create a Space”Any of these creates a Space and opens its editor:
- the + button at the bottom of the sidebar,
- ⌃⇧N,
- New Space in the command bar,
- New Space in Settings › Tabs & Spaces.
In the editor, give it a name, pick an Icon (an emoji) and a Colour, or a custom one. In dark mode the colour becomes a deep tint of the same hue.
To edit a Space later, double-click its name at the top of the sidebar, or right-click it and choose Edit Space….
Switch Spaces
Section titled “Switch Spaces”- ⌃1 to ⌃9 jumps to a Space.
- ⌥⌘→ and ⌥⌘← go to the next and previous, wrapping around.
- Swipe sideways with two fingers over the sidebar to move one Space at a time.
- Click a Space’s dot at the bottom of the sidebar.
Separate cookies and logins
Section titled “Separate cookies and logins”Turn this on for a Space and it gets its own cookies, local storage, cache and service workers. You can be signed in to GitHub as two people, or test a site as an admin in one Space and as a customer in another, side by side.
- In the Space editor, turn on Separate cookies and logins, or right-click the Space and choose Separate Cookies and Logins.
- A lock next to the Space’s name shows it’s on.
- Turning it on or off reopens the Space’s tabs so they move to the right storage.
- Clear Cookies and Site Data… in the Space’s right-click menu signs you out of everything in that Space only.
The Space menu
Section titled “The Space menu”Right-click a Space’s name, its dot, or an empty part of the sidebar:
- Edit Space…
- New Folder
- Separate Cookies and Logins
- Clear Cookies and Site Data… (when cookies are separate)
- Delete Space…
Deleting a Space closes its pinned and Today tabs for good; they don’t go to the archive. Flecha asks first. The Delete Space button inside the editor deletes right away.
Organise everything at once
Section titled “Organise everything at once”Settings › Tabs & Spaces shows every Space, its pinned tabs, folders and Today tabs in one list. Drag tabs and folders between Spaces, select several with ⌘-click or ⇧-click, reorder Spaces by dragging their headers, and search with ⌘F.
