PR Mode

PR mode is a focused review context. When it’s active, the editor narrows to the keys that a specific pull request adds, modifies, or removes versus its base branch. Per-row tints, a banner, and per-row viewed checkboxes turn the editor into a translation-aware code review surface.

PR mode is a global context held in the URL: ?pr=<number>. That means it survives reloads and is shareable as a link.


  1. Open the header context dropdown and switch to the Pull requests tab.
  2. Type to filter the list, or paste a PR URL directly into the search input.
  3. The app checks out the PR’s head branch and adds ?pr=<number> to the URL automatically.

Once you’re in PR mode, the editor reorients itself around the PR’s diff.


  • A banner appears at the top of the table so it’s clear you’re in a review context, not a normal edit session.
  • Rows get colored tints sourced from the PR diff:
    • Emerald — keys added in this PR
    • Amber — keys modified in this PR
    • Rose — keys removed in this PR
  • The four filter chips (All / Translated / Untranslated / Modified) now narrow within the PR’s changed rows. There is no separate “changed in PR” chip — PR mode itself is the filter.
  • Cells removed by the PR show an inline Restore old button so you can pull the previous value back into a draft if the removal turns out to be a mistake.

Each row carries a viewed checkbox so you can checkpoint your progress through a long diff. Bulk viewed actions (mark all visible / clear all) live in the toolbar.

Viewed marks are persisted per (repo, project, branch, baseRefSha). When the PR’s content for a row changes — whether someone pushes a new commit or rebases — the fingerprint changes and that row’s viewed mark auto-clears, so you re-review what actually shifted.


To exit, do either of:

  • Switch back to a branch (instead of a PR) in the header context dropdown.
  • Remove ?pr=<number> from the URL.

The editor returns to its normal full-table view on the same branch.


If you paste content from another window that was sourced from a PR review, the app may offer to switch you into PR mode automatically via a confirmation dialog. Accept to land in PR mode for that PR, or dismiss to keep editing where you are.
