Owner feedback 1: "so the empty tab doesnt always have to be the last
one! so I can move freely around and the empty tab can also be tab nr
4 or 3". This replaces the slot refusal of aecada8c.
grid.cells (a session id or null per cell) is now the one source of
truth; grid.ids is a getter deriving the tiles in reading order, so
everything that only wants the tiled sessions (focus neighbour,
cycling, the load queue's order, the picker, closeSession) is
unchanged. The shape still comes from the tile count and the cap
counts tiles, never empty cells.
- A tile dragged onto an empty cell moves there and leaves its own
cell empty, nothing else moving (_moveTileToCell, through
_reorderTiles: no remount, reconnect or reload; only a tile whose
cell size changed fits). A tiled session's tab does the same; a tab
of a session not tiled yet joins in the cell it is dropped on. Each
slot knows its cell and reads "Drop a tab or a tile here".
- Move Tile goes to the adjacent cell: into it when empty, a swap when
a tile is there (tileCellInDirection).
- Removing a tile leaves its cell empty; adding one takes the first
empty cell. A shape change goes through fitTileCells: each tile keeps
its row and column when all fit (2x2 growing to 3x2), else the tiles
pack in reading order.
- Focus never lands on an empty cell: Alt+Shift+Arrows run over the
cells, Ctrl+Tab and Alt+[ ] over the tiles.
- codeman:tile-grid stays ids only: its ids are the cells with null for
an empty one. A reload brings the holes back when the shape is the
same (a session gone since leaves its cell empty), another shape
packs, the old packed format reads unchanged, and a followed
#session= link keeps the holes.

The owner's answers on moving tiles:
- "dont move the tile": an empty slot no longer takes a tile. A slot is
always the last cell, so a move there shifted every tile after it.
Each drop target now says what it accepts (_acceptTabDrops'
`accepts`): a tile takes any session but its own, an empty slot only a
session not tiled yet. A refused drag is still held (dropEffect none,
no highlight), and dropSessionOnSlot refuses a tiled session too, its
tab included. A session not tiled yet still joins on a slot.
- A cancelled drag changes nothing, focus included (best practice): the
header focuses its tile on click, never on press, so a drag that ends
with Escape or outside leaves focus and the idle alert alone. The body
keeps press-to-focus, so focus still moves before a press reaches
xterm. The rename input stops its own clicks.
- A tiled tab dropped on the zoomed tile stays refused (confirmed).
- The Alt+Shift+Arrow focus chords skip a text field too (best
practice), as the move chords already did: shifted arrows select
there. Toggle and zoom are not text-editing keys and are unchanged.
Docs: the wiki, the spec's as-built bullet (with the owner's answers),
the invariants and CLAUDE.md say so.

Four rebindable registry chords in the Tiles group move the focused
tile: it trades places with the neighbour the Alt+Shift+Arrow focus
chords pick (tileInDirection), through the same _reorderTiles path as
the header drag, and keeps the focus. Nothing at an edge.
They go through tileShortcutFor()/runTileShortcut() like the other
tile chords, so every xterm key handler swallows them while they
apply: only while the grid is open, a zoomed grid included (a no-op
there, so the keys never reach the CLI), and never in a text field
other than xterm's own textarea, where Ctrl+Shift+Arrows select by
word.
Ctrl+Shift+Arrows because every other two-modifier arrow chord is
taken: Ctrl+Alt switches workspaces (GNOME, Xfce, some Windows
graphics drivers), Ctrl+Alt+Shift moves a window to another workspace
(GNOME, Cinnamon, Xfce), Super belongs to the desktop, Alt is the
browser's back and forward, Alt+Shift focuses tiles. No browser,
GNOME, KDE, macOS or Claude Code default uses Ctrl+Shift+Arrows; it
costs a terminal editor's word selection inside a tile while the grid
is open.
The Help modal lists the chords and the header drag; the shortcut
overlay lists the registry. zh-CN entries for every new string.

Owner request: "give me the option to move the tiles around". A tile's
header (its free area, not the buttons or the rename input) is now a
native drag handle: dropped on another tile the two trade places, dropped
on an empty slot it moves there (the last cell; the tiles after it close
up). Escape or a drop anywhere else is the browser's own cancel and
moves nothing.
Every move goes through one path, _reorderTiles: the header drag, a
tab of a tiled session dropped on a tile or a slot, and (next commit)
the Move Tile chords. Nothing is remounted, reconnected or reloaded.
Divider sizes belong to the cells, so a moved tile takes its new
cell's size: each tile whose cell size changed fits once (one PTY
resize, #464) and every other tile is left alone, in place of the
debounced refit of every tile the swap used to schedule.
The drag reuses the tab drop targets (capture phase, stopped before
xterm), carries a type of its own and never text, and is not
draggedTabId, so neither a text field nor the tab strip takes it.
Moving is off while a tile is zoomed (draggable off, and a tab drag
of a tiled session onto the zoomed tile is refused too) and with a
single tile. The handle shows a grab cursor and says it drags in its
tooltip (zh-CN included); the dragged tile is dimmed and the target
highlighted.
