Owner decision 8 ("when I hit the tiles button, open the tiles already!").
A click with the grid closed now opens it straight away, and Ctrl+Shift+G
runs the same function (toggleTileGrid), so the two cannot drift. What
opens comes from one pure helper, tileGridOpenSet (constants.js):
a. the grid this tab last had, if any of its sessions survive, opened
exactly (an open split closes and its sessions do not join);
b. else an open split's two sessions, Pane A focused;
c. else the open sessions in tab order (the picker's list: no detached
ones), up to what the grid takes here (the cap of 6, fewer when the
window fits fewer), the active session always among them and focused.
A click with the grid open still closes it.
The picker moved to right-click (oncontextmenu, browser menu suppressed).
With the grid open it is preselected with the current tiles, and Open
replaces them. Ctrl/Cmd+click on a tab with the grid closed opens the
toggle's set plus that session. The button's title, the Help modal and
the wiki say right-click chooses which sessions.

Three more ways into the grid:
- Drag a session tab from the strip onto a tile: a session not yet tiled
replaces that tile in place (the replaced session keeps running); one
already tiled swaps places with it. A layout that is not full (3 tiles in a
2x2, 5 in a 3x2) shows its empty cells as slots, and a tab dropped on one
joins the grid there. Tiles and slots handle the drag in the capture phase
and stop it, because its payload is the session id as text and xterm's
helper textarea would type it into the PTY; a drag that is not a tab (a
file) is left alone. The dropped session takes focus (a human selection).
A sorted or grouped rail does not offer tab dragging, so neither does this.
- Ctrl/Cmd+click on a tab puts that session in the grid and focuses it,
opening the grid on what the Tiles toggle would bring back if it was
closed; on a window too narrow for the grid it stays an ordinary click.
- "Open group as tiles" in the grouped rail's group menu makes the group's
live sessions (as many as the window fits) the grid.
