History Map

Glub presents browsing history as a journey. Pages are stations on routes, Workspaces are the first nodes, and spawned windows become connected branches.

Press H while browsing to open the History Map. Because uppercase commands require Shift, this is Shift + h on the keyboard. Ctrl + H remains available as an alternate open or close shortcut.

Routes carry the visual hierarchy; labels and station markers explain the pages along them.

  • Ancestors extend to the left.
  • Immediate branches extend to the right.
  • Nested children continue farther right.
  • Spawned tiles use dashed connections.
  • The selected station stays centered.
  • Long or unrelated routes remain collapsed until they are useful.

The map shows only the portion relevant to the current focus, so a large recursive history does not need to remain expanded at once.
