About this plugin
The most frustrating part of a long DSH conversation is a tangent that derails your main context. dsh-capture-window solves this with the Capture Window: hit Ctrl+Shift+K to summon a quiet, fully independent session, drop your divergent idea in there and keep chatting while your main thread stays exactly where it left off. New sessions inherit the current workspace and directory, so nothing ends up in the ungrouped pile, and they persist across restarts.
Three context modes give you full control over what the new session sees: Blank starts from scratch; Select lets you hand-pick relevant messages; and the default Last 10 mode auto-compresses the most recent ten turns of your current conversation and injects them as non-reply background, so you carry context into the tangent without polluting the main thread. Inside the new session you get the same input ergonomics as the main view-Enter to queue, Ctrl+Enter to interrupt, Shift+Enter for a newline-along with an embedded model picker. A sticky-note buffer (in-memory, cleared on close) lets you capture fleeting thoughts before committing to a session.
Who it is for: anyone who spends long stretches in DSH coding, drafting proposals, or debating architecture and keeps getting sidetracked by a "wait, let me think about this separately" moment. It is a pure add-on that never touches DSH source code, installs in one command, and acts as a lightweight context router in your workflow.
Use Cases
- A tangent idea appears mid-conversation without disrupting the main thread
- Explore a sub-question in isolation while carrying recent context
- Capture a fleeting thought and develop it in its own session
- Compare two approaches without cross-pollinating their contexts
Best For
- Developers running long DSH sessions for coding or design work
- Architects and tech leads who think in parallel threads
- Workflow users who want to keep their main context clean
