Pane Toolbar

Every pane has a thin horizontal toolbar at its top edge. The left side shows the pane icon, title, and pane-specific controls. The right side shows status indicators and action buttons.

Export / Import Dropdown

The file-export icon on the right side opens a dropdown with:

  • Templates: Save the current pane configuration as a named template. Load existing templates to apply saved configurations instantly.
  • Export Config: Save pane configuration as JSON file, YAML file, or copy to clipboard.
  • Import Config: Load configuration from clipboard or file.
  • Custom Actions: Pane-specific export items (e.g. CSV export for Table, PNG export for Plot).

Template Storage

Templates are saved to ~/.config/tetrapus/pane_templates.json. Each template stores the pane type, configuration values, and creation timestamp. Templates are grouped by pane type in the dropdown.
