thomasandClaude Opus 4.8 ab91f910f3 feat(terminal): paste clipboard images as a file path off macOS
Pasting a screenshot into a coding-agent pane (Claude Code &co.) did
nothing on Windows/Linux. The clipboard-image branch only forwarded SYN
(0x16), relying on the agent to read the OS clipboard itself when it sees
Ctrl+V. That works on macOS, but Claude Code silently drops raw
screenshots off macOS (anthropics/claude-code#26679), so nothing landed.

gpui already hands us the image bytes via ClipboardEntry::Image, so off
macOS we now stage the image to a temp file and paste its shell-escaped
path — the same route drag-and-drop uses, which agents attach reliably.
Windows screenshots arrive as BMP (CF_DIB), which agent vision rejects,
so those are transcoded to PNG; PNG/JPEG/GIF/WebP pass through untouched.
The temp filename is keyed on gpui's content hash so re-pasting one image
reuses a single file. macOS keeps the higher-fidelity SYN path, and a
staging failure there falls back to SYN too.

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 · eight 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).

Benchmarks
