Hongwei Qinandl0ng-ai 5dd60a6660 fix(ui): rebuild the keymap when a hand-edited binding reloads (#548) (#571)
* fix(ui): rebuild the keymap when a hand-edited binding reloads (#548)

The config watcher reloaded locale, theme, menus and shells but never
the keymap, so a hand-edited `keybindings` entry appeared in the
settings list off the live global while the key itself stayed dead
until restart — the settings page showed a binding gpui would never
dispatch.

Two changes make driving a rebind from the watcher safe. First the
rebind clears before it binds: gpui `Keymap::add_bindings` only ever
pushes — it never dedups and nothing retires a binding — so the old
append-only rebind leaked one full table per call, and every keystroke
walks the whole map. `rebuild_keymap` now replays the action bindings
plus the fixed terminal/modal bindings onto a cleared map, and `init`
shares it.

Second the watcher gates on it. It fires for every write under the
config dir — including the apps own `save()`, which a sidebar drag or
a palette open triggers — so it compares the `(keybindings,
keybinding_preset, prefix)` triple before and after the reload and only
rebinds when a binding actually moved, keeping a no-op save from
churning the keymap. Tests pin the triple only moving on a real
binding change and the map not growing across repeated rebinds.

Per the review this lands after #537 (the watcher keeping the old
config on a parse failure): without that, a broken edit would swap in
defaults and this rebind would then wipe the users keys from the live
keymap too. The unknown-action surface and the prefix-conflict
detection the review also scoped are follow-ups.

* fix(ui): carry the inherited bindings through a keymap rebuild

`rebuild_keymap` clears the whole map, and the map is not tty7's alone:
`gpui_component::init` runs first and installs the `Input` context's
editing table, the list and menu navigation and the escape that closes a
dialog, with no entry point to install them a second time. Clearing and
replaying only tty7's bindings dropped all of it — at `init`, so every
text field in the app lost backspace, the arrows, enter and escape from
the first frame, and the test that pinned the map's size could not see it
because it measured after `init` had already cleared.

Snapshot whatever is in the keymap before tty7 binds anything and lay it
back down first on every rebuild, in the order it was added, so tty7's
bindings still win. Drop the `BoundKeystrokes` global with them: the
retire-one-`NoAction`-at-a-time path it fed is gone, and its last reader
with it.

English · 简体中文


tty7 with a tab sidebar of agent sessions across several repos, running Claude Code

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

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 libraries bundled

What's inside

Editor-grade 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
Agent-aware per-pane detection (18 CLIs): status dot · notifications · branch + diff · resume after reboot · tray icon when input is needed
Remote workspaces remote files, repos, changes, diffs, worktrees, tabs, and panes · reconnect from any client and continue where you left off
CLI + Skills bundled tty7 CLI · agent skill · pane/workspace control · real PTY commands · output, process, port, and agent status
SSH native russh stack: profiles with keychain secrets · SFTP panel · port forwarding · jump hosts · one-time, unprivileged tty7-server install

Full documentation lives in docs/keyboard shortcuts · config.json · CLI reference. The agent-facing CLI interface is also documented in skills/tty7/SKILL.md.

Install the skill with:

npx skills add l0ng-ai/tty7    # install
npx skills update tty7         # update later
