The local command editor swallowed every Ctrl chord at the prompt, so engaging shell integration silently removed keys that worked before it: Ctrl-P/N history motions, Ctrl-T transpose, and any zle widget the user had bound. Kills (Ctrl-W/U/K) had no yank to put them back. - Ctrl-P / Ctrl-N are rewritten into the arrow keys up front, so the two spellings can't drift apart across history recall, multi-line steps, the completion picker and reverse search. - Ctrl-Y yanks the last kill back; the kill chords now stash what they cut in a one-slot ring. Answered locally — zle's kill ring is a different buffer and would yank text this editor never cut. - Alt-. is readline's yank-last-arg, walking back through history on repeat and swapping the word the previous press inserted. - Unrecognized Ctrl and Meta chords hand the line to the shell instead of dying at the prompt, the same escape hatch Ctrl-R already used. - Keys handled locally now snap the viewport back to the live prompt (#208): the editor returns early, so it never reached the raw key path's housekeeping and could edit a line off screen.
tty7
A terminal workbench: shells, sessions, SSH, coding agents.
Pure Rust · GPU rendering on Zed's gpui · VT core from Alacritty
English · 简体中文
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
