 - **Favorites** - star projects you keep coming back to via the right-click menu
 - **Remove** - drop a project's Claude history from the panel via the right-click menu; a confirmation dialog names the project and warns it removes the whole project and all its conversations before anything is touched, then the history folder is moved to the trash (it honours JupyterLab's "move files to trash" setting), not deleted permanently
 - **Clean up parallel sessions** - when a project has accumulated extra sessions beyond the main one, a right-click menu item (showing the count in brackets) removes them all, keeping only the main session; a confirmation dialog naming the project and the count appears first, and removed files honour the same trash setting
-- **Conversation switcher** - a right-click "Switch and Manage Sessions" submenu lists a project's other conversations by name and short session id, e.g. `home (3f2a1b9c)`, with last-activity time; pick one and it becomes the row's current conversation - the next click resumes exactly that one. The submenu shows the 5 most recent; "Manage Sessions..." opens a searchable popup over the full list where conversations can also be deleted - select one, many, or all via checkboxes, then confirm in a dialog that names the project and the count (removed files honour the trash setting). Rows with multiple conversations show a branch icon with the count after the name
+- **Conversation switcher** - a right-click "Switch and Manage Sessions" submenu lists a project's other conversations by name and short session id, e.g. `home (3f2a1b9c)`, with last-activity time; pick one and it becomes the row's current conversation - the next click resumes exactly that one. The submenu shows the 5 most recent; "Manage Sessions..." opens a searchable popup - a scrollable table over the full list with the current conversation pinned at the top and accented. Conversations can also be deleted here - select one, many, or all via checkboxes, then click Delete; they move to trash immediately (no confirmation, with an "N moved to trash" message; removed files honour the trash setting). Rows with multiple conversations show a branch icon with the count after the name
 - **Branch session** - fork the current conversation into a new named session via the right-click menu (normal or skip-permissions mode); uses Claude's native `--fork-session`, opens in a new terminal, the chosen name is stamped automatically, and the fork becomes the row's current conversation
 - **Copy session id** - a right-click "Copy Session ID" item copies the row's current conversation id to the clipboard; the Manage Sessions popup adds a copy button on every row, so any parallel conversation's id is one click away
 - **Activity at a glance** - each row shows its last activity (`now`, `5m ago`, `2h ago`, `3d ago`) in an aligned column, with the favourite star in its own column beside it; rows active within the last minute light up in the theme's brand colour (including the `now` label), rows idle for over a week dim slightly
