A tour of the window

Once you've opened an agent, the EasyCC window has a handful of main areas. Here's what each one does.

The EasyCC window with the file tree on the left, an editor in the middle, the chat on the right, the title bar across the top, and a terminal docked at the bottom. — The main EasyCC window — file tree, editor, chat, terminal, plus the title bar and Skills panel.

Two things stay visible no matter what:

The title bar at the top — your way back to the Command Center, plus account and settings menus.
The status bar at the bottom — auto-save indicator, connection status, the current model.

Everything else can be resized, collapsed, or rearranged.

Title bar

The top strip has navigation, account, and help controls.

Control	What it does
EasyCC name	The product name. If your IT team or a service provider shipped a branded build, their name shows next to it.
Home	Jumps to the Command Center.
Agent switcher (middle)	Click to switch between agents, start a new one, or open agent settings.
Send feedback	Opens the feedback form — bug report, feature request, optional screenshot.
Help	In-app help dialog with shortcuts and common questions.
Account menu	Your profile, settings, sign out.
Window controls	Minimize, maximize, close (top-right on Windows, top-left on macOS).

Closing the window doesn't quit EasyCC unless Minimize to tray is off. By default, EasyCC keeps running so scheduled tasks fire and chats stay alive.

File tree

The left column is your file browser for the current agent.

Action	How
Open a file	Single click.
Rename	Right-click → Rename, or press F2.
Delete	Right-click → Move to trash (goes to OS trash).
New file or folder	Right-click → New file / New folder.
Reveal in Finder / Explorer	Right-click → Reveal in Finder / Show in Explorer.
Copy file path	Right-click → Copy path.

Files starting with a dot (.easycc/, .gitignore) are hidden by default — toggle Show hidden files in Settings → General to see them.

Adding extra folders: click + Add folder at the bottom to pull in files from outside the agent — a Downloads folder, a shared drive, anywhere. Read-write, safety scoping unchanged.

Search: the box at the top finds files by name. For finding text inside files, use the global search (Ctrl+Shift+F / Cmd+Shift+F).

Editor area

The middle column. EasyCC opens 35+ kinds of files here — markdown, spreadsheets, slides, PDFs, images, audio, video, 3D, archives, and more. See File types for the full list.

Tabs stack across the top — files, chats, and terminal sessions all mix here with different icons.
Auto-save runs after every change; the status bar shows the last save time. To roll back, see version history.
Explain button (top of the editor) sends the file to Claude for a plain-English breakdown.
Selection bubble — select text anywhere, click Ask Claude to send just that selection to chat.

Chat panel

The right column — this is where most of the actual work happens.

Part	What it does
Tab strip	One tab per chat. + to start a new one. Up to 10 at once.
Permission mode	How often Claude asks before making changes.
Model selector	Opus (smartest), Sonnet (balanced), Haiku (fastest).
Conversation	Messages stream top to bottom.
Message input	Enter sends. Shift-Enter for a new line. Type `/` to pick a skill.

Responses include tool-use cards (when Claude reads a file or runs a command), thinking blocks (collapsed by default), todo lists, permission prompts, and question buttons.

Drag a file from the tree into the input to attach it, or use the paperclip icon. Click Stop (or Esc) to cancel mid-response.

Terminal panel

A real shell, docked at the bottom. Most people never need it — Claude does most of the heavy lifting in chat — but it's there when you want to run something directly.

Open with Ctrl+` / Cmd+`. Two kinds of session:

Claude session — Claude Code in interactive mode (a CLI conversation outside the chat panel).
Shell session — your OS shell (PowerShell on Windows, your default on macOS).

Multiple sessions are allowed. Web links only open http: / https:, title-bar control characters are sanitized, and heavy output is rate-limited.

Skills panel

The narrow column on the right edge. Pre-built actions you can run with one click.

Search filters the list.
Suggested — skills EasyCC thinks fit your current work.
Recently used — your last few skills, one-click to run again.
All skills — everything installed in this agent.

Click Browse library to open the Skills Library (70+ shipped skills). First-time runs show a one-time approval dialog. Slash commands (/skill-name in any chat) work too.

Command Center

Your home view — where you land on sign in and return to via the Home button.

Section	What it does
Hero greeting	Short personal hello.
Dispatch input	Big text box — type a task and EasyCC routes it to the right agent.
Agent roster	Avatars for each agent. Click to open one.
Prompt cards	Pinned prompts you reach for often.
Scheduled drawer	Tasks that run on a clock (daily, weekly, cron).
Working now strip	Background work across all your agents.
Ready for review	Finished background work that needs your eyes.

See The Command Center for the details on prompt cards, schedules, and background mode.

That's the whole UI. Everything else in the docs is how-to guides, settings reference, or background reading — use the nav on the left to dig in when you need something specific.
