l0ng-aiandl0ng-ai 40a8ba711b fix(input): stop a Tab on a detached remote pane from eating the line (#273)
* fix(input): stop a Tab on a detached remote pane from eating the line

Tab reaches the view through the SendTab/SendBackTab actions, which bypass
the read-only guard in on_key_down. On a remote workspace whose link is not
attached, that let a failed completion run handoff_line_to_shell: it cleared
the editor's line and wrote it to a writer nobody was reading, so the command
vanished, the editor stood down for the rest of the prompt cycle, and every
later keystroke was swallowed by the guard the Tab had skipped.

Guard tab_pressed, handoff_line_to_shell and submit_command with
accepts_input, so a pane that cannot reach its shell keeps the line instead
of handing it to nowhere. A late SFTP listing now also checks that the editor
still owns the line before acting on it - that round trip can take seconds.

A listing that fails still hands the line to the shell, same as locally.

* fix(input): name the reason a detached link turns a Tab away

Fold the link check into a `link_inactive_reason` so the Tab path logs why
it did nothing, and let `remote_path_results` consult the link as well as
the editor instead of leaning on `handoff_line_to_shell` to catch it.

Reword the failed-listing warning: with the drop guard in place the line
does not always reach the shell.

Dispatch the Tab in the disconnected-pane test through the real `SendTab`
action, since the bug was that the action skips `on_key_down`, and add a
test that a Tab on a detached pane never starts an SFTP listing — the one
thing only the Tab-path guard prevents.

Why

  • Fast — ~2× the throughput of Alacritty, Ghostty, or Kitty (benchmarks)
  • Sessions persist — quit or reboot; your shells keep running, no tmux
  • Editor-grade input — completion, syntax highlighting, history search built in; zero config for zsh, bash, fish, PowerShell
  • Agent-aware — recognizes Claude Code & co. in a pane: status, notifications, session resume

Install

Native builds for each platform on Releases:

macOS …-macos-arm64.dmg · …-x86_64.dmg drag into Applications
Windows …-setup.exe · portable ….zip
Linux …-x86_64.AppImage chmod +x and run — x11/wayland libs bundled

What's inside

Input ghost suggestions from history · explained tab completion · syntax highlighting · multi-line editing · click places the caret · ⌃ R fuzzy history
Window tabs & splits · ⌘ P palette · ⌘ F scrollback search · nine themes · IME
Coding agents per-pane agent detection (~17 CLIs): status dot, notifications, branch + diff, resume after reboot, tray icon that signals "needs your input"
SSH native russh stack: profiles with keychain secrets, SFTP panel, port forwarding, jump hosts

Details for every row: docs/features.md. Keybindings: ⌘ , opens Settings — browse and remap everything, tmux preset included (full list).
