Finding tickets

Four controls on the Inbox panel decide what it shows and in what order: F filters by field and value, s sorts, / searches, and ]/[ slice to a status. All four are session-only — no saved views, no filter syntax, and none of them changes which tickets are fetched.

Order

Rows are grouped by status by default, in an order derived from the pipeline itself — the same order — so the run to retriage and the review to read are the top rows rather than two of sixteen.

Within a group, rows fall through to leverage: how many other listed tickets promoting this one would transitively unblock, then priority, then identifier. The promote worth making is the top row of its group.

s cycles that to project, leverage or priority. The two grouping modes draw a header per boundary — none, when every row is in the same group — and the two flat ones order the whole list.

Filter

F opens a two-step modal to filter the inbox: pick a field (project, status, or priority), then pick a value. The value list displays row counts and includes a type-ahead prompt to narrow the options. enter applies the filter; esc backs out a level. F on an active filter reopens it for changing or clearing (by choosing the all <field> option at the top of the list).

P is a shortcut straight to the project value list.

Picking a value under status sets the status slice rather than a separate filter, so F and ]/[ are two ways of reaching one control and can never narrow the panel to two different statuses at once. Project and priority compose on top of whichever slice is showing.

Search

/ opens a prompt on the panel and narrows it as you type — a plain case-insensitive substring over the identifier, title, status and project already on the row, with the matches marked inside it.

enter keeps the filter and hands the keys back to the list, so you can promote what you found; esc cancels the prompt, and esc again clears a filter the prompt already closed on. While the prompt is open it has the keyboard — a p or a q typed into it is text — and ctrl+c still quits.

Status slices

] and [ cycle the panel through Linear status slices in board order — all, then each Linear status present on the board, and back. Slices are display over the fetched list, so only unstarted and active statuses present appear.

F → status is the same control with the options on screen: it lists every status with its row count, so picking one is a choice rather than a guess at where the cycle stops.

What the title says

The panel title carries all of it — ● 4/17 · /goreleaser · by status · Backlog — so a narrowed list is never mistaken for an empty board. Its count is what this panel can show under the current slice; the status bar’s ● n in the inbox is the other question, what is blocked on you, and does not move when a slice is active.
