Summary

Every click in the sidebar (selecting a tab, a space, a pinned tab…) was handled about half a second late.

The double-click gesture that zooms the window (.onTapGesture(count: 2) in SidebarView) wrapped the whole sidebar. A single tap inside a view that also has a double-tap gesture must wait for the double-click interval before SwiftUI knows it is not a double click, so every tab selection waited too. Measured with timestamps: the state change and redraw take ~2 ms after the tap is recognized; the wait is entirely before it.

• The double click now sits behind the content (DoubleClickToZoomWindow, a background with the gesture), so it only catches clicks on the sidebar's empty space and no longer delays the controls.
• The tab list now fills the sidebar's height (GeometryReader + minHeight), so the empty space under the last tab still zooms the window on a double click, as before.
• Window dragging is unchanged.

Additional Notes

Tested on macOS 26:

1. Selecting tabs and spaces responds immediately.
2. Double click on empty sidebar space (top, bottom, under the last tab) zooms / unzooms the window.
3. Double click on a tab does not zoom the window.
4. Dragging empty sidebar space still moves the window.

Confidence Score: 4/5

[Medium impact] The change affects click and window-zoom behavior in the sidebar.

The PR appears safe to merge with a non-blocking regression in double-click zoom below the tabs.

Findings

1.  Empty-space zoom stops working ▶

Summary

Moves the sidebar’s double-click gesture behind its controls to avoid delaying single clicks.

• Sidebar controls respond right away while empty-space double clicks still zoom the window.

Empty-space zoom stops working

The new DoubleClickToZoomWindow inside ContainerView reads a nil window, so double-clicking below the tabs does nothing. NSPageView creates this content in a separate NSHostingView. The closure in SidebarView passes environment objects but not the custom \.window value, which defaults to nil.

Pass window into the hosted content explicitly so this gesture can call toggleMaximized().

[barto95100]

Good catch: the spaces' pages are hosted in their own NSHostingView by NSPageView, so \.window may be nil there. The gesture now zooms the window the double click happened in (NSApp.currentEvent?.window), with the environment value as a fallback. Tested: double click under the last tab zooms the window, in every space.
