Pinned windows – Gisti Docs

⌘ U in the detail view pins the open element into its own small window – separate from the main Gisti panel, floating above everything else. Press it again (or the same shortcut on the pinned window) to unpin.

What you get

A native, resizable window with a title bar (its title is the element’s own title, with a leading ★ if favorited) – no separate app, just a focused view of one thing.
Floats above other windows, follows you across Spaces, and stays visible even over full-screen apps.
Text only: pinning works for notes and text clipboard items, the same ones that render Markdown in the detail view. Chats and screenshots/images don’t have a Pin option today; there’s no ⌘U or pin button for them.
Multiple pinned windows can be open at once, one per element. New ones cascade so they don’t stack exactly on top of each other.
Each window remembers its own position and size per element. Close it and pin the same note again later, and it reopens where you left it.

Inside a pinned window

A small accessory button next to the traffic lights opens a menu – ⌘ K drops the same one down without the mouse:

Edit Text / View Text (⌘ E): toggle editing right there in the floating window; edits save automatically and sync back to the Stream immediately.
Edit Title (⇧ ⌘ E).
Find in Text (⌘ F).
Show as … (⇧ ⌘ F) – the format or code chip, named the way the panel’s ⌘K names it, and only when the record has a chip.
Close (⌘ W).

Esc cancels title editing, exits edit mode or closes the find bar – it never closes the window.

Formats and code

A pinned window recognizes what the record is, the same way the detail view does. When there is something to recognize, a chip appears at the right end of the title bar:

A format – Base64, JWT, JSON, XML/HTML, percent-encoding, escaped text or spreadsheet data. The chip starts released: press it (⇧ ⌘ F) to read the record decoded, press again for the original. Nothing is written back.
A language – for a record that is a source file from top to bottom. That chip starts pressed, so the window opens with syntax colors already on; release it for the ordinary Markdown view.

Only one chip ever appears: a record that decodes into something is that thing, and answering “it is also code” would be a second answer to one question.

Find in text

⌘ F opens a find bar at the top of the window, the same one the detail view has. It searches whatever the window is showing – the rendered note, the decoded text under the chip, a source file with its colors, or the text you are editing. ⏎ and ⇧ ⏎ step through the matches (⌘ G and ⇧ ⌘ G do the same), and Esc closes the bar without closing the window.
