Watchlists

Watchlists group symbols you care about. They replaced the older "Recently Viewed" panel — you can have multiple named watchlists, each containing equity tickers and (optionally) specific options contracts.

Watchlists change only when you ask them to. Searching for or selecting a ticker loads it without touching any list; press w to add the current symbol (or the highlighted contract) to a list.

Watchlist picker

Keybindings

Key Action
w Open the watchlist picker (add current symbol to a list)
W Open the watchlist manager (create / rename / delete lists)
b Back to the watchlist panel from the chain (also :watchlist / :wl)
d Delete the highlighted row (ticker or contract) from its list, whatever the current grouping or sort order (only while the panel is shown)
S Sort the focused list (cycles through symbol / price / change / volume)

Loading a ticker swaps the watchlist panel for the options chain. Press b (or run :watchlist / :wl) to bring the panel back with fresh quotes; picking a ticker from it shows the chain again. Background quote refreshes never move focus away from the chain.

Persistence

Watchlists are stored in ~/.config/tenor/watchlists.json. The file is JSON, human-readable, and safe to edit by hand if you want.
