dsh-session-nav

Move between DeepSeek Harness sessions with a keystroke.

DeepSeek Harness ships commands for New, Search, Rename, Fork and Archive session, but nothing for "next/previous session". This plugin adds two ordinary configurable commands that walk the session list.

Recorded in a browser tab, where the defaults are ⌘⌥↑ / ⌘⌥↓. In the desktop app the same commands default to ⌥↑ / ⌥↓.

Features

• Previous session / Next session commands, registered through the normal shortcut system. They appear in the ⌘/ shortcut reference and can be rebound there like any built-in command.
• Follows the sidebar's visible order, so it respects workspace grouping and pinned sections. Falls back to most-recently-active order when the sidebar is not rendered (collapsed, or showing search results).
• Wraps at both ends; with two sessions the keys simply toggle.
• Skips archived and subagent sessions.
• Lets the chord through when there is nowhere to go, and stays out of terminals and dialogs.

Default keys

Platform	Previous	Next
macOS desktop	⌥↑	⌥↓
Windows desktop	Alt+↑	Alt+↓
macOS browser tab	⌘⌥↑	⌘⌥↓
Windows browser tab	unbound	unbound

Plain Option/Alt chords are on the Web reserved list, so macOS browser tabs use the primary chord instead. Windows browser tabs stay unbound because Ctrl+Alt+Arrow is claimed by some display drivers; bind any allowed combination under ⌘/.

Install

Requires DeepSeek Harness with a profile you can add plugins to. The desktop profile is managed by the Electron app, so use the Desktop-installed dsh command for it.

1. Add the package to the profile:

   dsh plugin --profile desktop add "github:baggiponte/dsh-session-nav"
   

   From a local clone, link it instead:

   dsh plugin --profile desktop add "link:$PWD"
   

2. Register the plugin row in the profile's cordis.patch.yml (~/.dsh/profiles/desktop/cordis.patch.yml):

   - insert:
       - id: session-nav
         name: "dsh-session-nav"
   

3. Reload the app page (⌘R) or restart the app.

For a web profile, substitute --profile web and edit ~/.dsh/profiles/web/cordis.patch.yml.

The package has no build step: lib/client.js is the browser bundle the Client Module Loader serves, and lib/index.js is the empty Host companion the Loader needs to compose the row.

Customize

• Keys: ⌘/ → search "session" → click a row and record a new combination. Clearing it keeps the command and leaves it unbound.
• Keep native Option+Arrow paragraph navigation in text fields: change REGIONS in lib/client.js to ["page"].
• Order semantics: see neighbour() in lib/client.js.

How it works

The bundle is a client-side DSH plugin. It registers two commands through ctx.shortcuts.register(); when one fires it resolves the target session from the sidebar rows (data-row-key="session:…", falling back to the session controller ordered by updatedAt) and opens it with uiWorkspace.openSession().

No host services, no React, no build tooling.

Development

node --test

The tests load the real bundle through a fake __ModuleLoader__ and exercise registration, ordering, fallback, wrapping, archived filtering, and the region/modal guards.
