Description
There is no discoverable way to open a browser pane inside the split tree from the UI. The + button in the tab bar is hardcoded to always create a new terminal surface (addSurface(..., 'terminal') in PaneWrapper.tsx), and there are no other visible controls for opening a browser or markdown surface.
Ways a split-tree browser pane can currently be opened
- Clicking an OSC 8 link in a terminal (calls
openInWmuxBrowser)
- Keyboard shortcuts
splitBrowserRight (Ctrl+Alt+D) and splitBrowserDown (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+D) — undocumented, not visible anywhere in the UI
- Via the CLI (
wmux new-surface --type browser)
Expected behavior
Users should be able to open a browser pane from the tab bar UI without needing to know a hidden keyboard shortcut or click a terminal link.

Relates to #27 — if the sidebar browser (Ctrl+Shift+I) is designated as the authoritative CDP target, the role of split-tree browser panes becomes more clearly "inline viewing." A discoverable way to open one from the UI would make that distinction useful rather than invisible.
