`AlternatePaste` carries `Terminal && !alt_screen`, but gpui matches a keystroke against the frame it last painted, so the context outlives the switch: a full-screen program that took the screen after that paint is still "at a prompt" as far as the keymap is concerned, and the clipboard lands in it. In vim's normal mode that runs as commands. The action now re-reads the terminal mode and propagates instead, which hands the chord to `on_key_down` and encodes it as the SYN the program is waiting for. Also: - the two escape-hatch assertions in `paste_ships_both_terminal_chords_off_macos_and_retires_together` built a one-entry binding table instead of the default one, so both passed without the hatch working — an emptied `AlternatePaste` cannot dispatch anything when it is the only entry in the table. They now apply the config line on top of the whole default table, and the `PasteText: ctrl-v` case checks both screens; - the keyboard-shortcuts page claimed every other Ctrl chord reaches the program, which Ctrl+Tab and the Windows/Linux font-size chords do not; - `steals_a_control_code` documents `@` and the backtick, which are in the set it walks but were not in the list beside it.
tty7
A terminal workbench: persistent sessions, remote work, agents.
Pure Rust · GPU rendering on Zed's gpui · VT core from Alacritty
English · 简体中文
Why
- Performance — ~2× the throughput of Alacritty, Ghostty, or Kitty (benchmarks)
- Persistent sessions — quit or reboot; your shells and supported agent sessions keep running, no tmux
- Editor-grade input — suggestions, completion, highlighting, history search
- Remote development — files, repos, panes, and git data stay on the remote machine
- Native SSH — profiles, SFTP, port forwarding, and jump hosts
- Agent-aware — Claude Code, Codex & co.: status, notifications, git context
- CLI + Skills — agents create panes, run commands, and inspect output
