Your tabs run along the top of the window. The sidebar down the left holds your profile, your mail and your chats. And when you’re hunting for something you already had open, the command bar opens over the page.

Tabs

Your tabs sit in a horizontal strip at the top and stay there. There’s no vertical tabs mode, and no setting that moves the strip into the sidebar.

Switching with the keyboard

Hold Control and tap Tab. You’ll get a filmstrip of your open tabs, ordered by the ones you used most recently.

What a new tab shows

Open a new tab and you get one field with a Search and Ask Ve toggle under it. Press Tab to switch between the two. In Search mode you’ll get suggestions as you type. Arrow keys move through them, and Esc dismisses the list. Switch to Ask Ve and the bar grows a + for attaching files, plus pickers for the provider, model and reasoning effort. Anything you attach sits on the new tab as a chip until you send. Use Shift + Enter for a line break instead of sending.
You’ll need a connected model for Ask Ve. See Connect a model.

The sidebar

Treat the sidebar as a launcher rather than a tab list. Your tabs are never in it. What you’ll find is your profile, whatever Ve has picked up for today, and the pages inside Ve you keep going back to. The button at its top right hides it. Once it’s hidden, a Show sidebar button turns up at the far left of the toolbar to bring it back. You’ll only ever see one of the two.

The header

The profile menu

Click your avatar and you get a menu with your current profile at the top and any others below it, so you can switch between them. Under that, four actions: Then five rows that open a panel beside the menu when you hover or click: Bookmark, Download, Extensions, History and Developers.

Workspace and Threads

One row under Workspace: Under Threads, Recent chats expands into your chat history. You’ll see chats you started in Ve merged with your ChatGPT history, read from the chatgpt.com session you’re already signed into. Pinned chats sit at the top. Hover a chat and you get two buttons: pin it, or delete it. Chats you started in Ve’s own panel can be deleted but not pinned. The + in the section header starts a fresh one.

Things you need to know

A card at the top of the sidebar shows your next meeting and a short row of suggested actions. If a meeting has already started it reads Happening now rather than Upcoming, and you get a Join button when Ve can find a real meeting link. With no meeting and no suggestion, the card hides itself.

When the sidebar is collapsed

A small pill of icons takes its place next to the toolbar: the Ve spark, which floats that same “Things you need to know” card as a popup, your avatar for the profile menu, a Mission Control chip and a shortcut to Memory. The Mission Control chip doesn’t do anything yet.

The command bar

Click the magnifier in the sidebar header. Command + K does the same, as long as the sidebar has keyboard focus. It opens centred over the page rather than inside the sidebar, with a field reading “Search tabs, history…” and three sections below it. Type and all three filter at once. Arrow keys move your selection, Enter opens it, and Esc closes the bar.
