[FEATURE]: Pin sessions to the top of the Home session list #57738
Description
Feature hasn't been suggested before.
- I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.
Describe the enhancement you want to request
Home lists sessions by date only, so sessions I keep coming back to drift down as new sessions land. One I use as a scratchpad and one I watch all day sink past the 64-row window within a few weeks and are only reachable through search.
I want to pin a session so it stays at the top of the list:
- Right-click a session on Home → Pin. Pinned sessions move into a Pinned group above Today, in the order they were pinned, and stay out of the dated groups.
- The same toggle is a command,
session.pin, so it can be run from the command palette or bound to a shortcut in Settings → Shortcuts. It reads "Unpin session" once the open session is pinned. - Pin state is local to the app, like tab layout, keyed per server. No server or protocol change.
- Pinned sessions are fetched by ID when they fall outside the loaded session index, so an old pin still shows up.
Things I deliberately left out, in case design review wants them instead: pinning from the session tab's context menu, and a server-side pinned field so the set follows the user across machines.
Implementation: #57788 (pin state is local to the app, so nothing changes on the server).

Thanks for the clear write-up! I think this is a duplicate of #55764, which asks for the same thing: a Pinned group above Today on the Desktop/Web Home session list, pin/unpin from a session's row menu, and pins kept across restarts. A contributor there has already proposed nearly the design you describe: pins stored locally and keyed per server, kept outside the 64-row window, and old pins fetched by ID.
Possible duplicates and related issues, ordered by likelihood:
pinned_atdesign with a client-side store (auto-closed as inactive)session.json(relevant to where pin state is stored)The extras you mention, like the
session.pincommand with a bindable shortcut and listing pins in the order they were pinned, would be useful to add as a comment on #55764.The bot will close this issue as a duplicate in 1 day unless you reply explaining how your request is different.
