main shipped v26.8.2 and 15 fixes while this branch was open. Resolved: - zh: main's #417 decided the background process is called "server" in Chinese, and that decision is newer than this branch's "服务器" — took it, kept this branch's typographic quotes around {machine}, and whitelisted SettingsServer in the new every-key-is-translated test, since the zh heading is now that English word on its own. - presets.rs: this branch factored main's inline `clear` closure into Theme::clear_ink / ansi_seed; same arithmetic, so kept the methods. #400's border and caret floors and #413's legible-palette flag both survive untouched. - app.rs: took main's Option-typed `alive` argument, kept this branch's note on why a dropped tab is worth a sentence. - README / docs: agent count is now exactly 18 with Oh My Pi, so the precise number replaces both "17" and "~18"; the zh feature doc keeps its translated menu names and gains Oh My Pi in the fork list. Six keys main added are gone because the surfaces that used them were rewritten here: the home screen's relative time now runs to years, hook failures name install vs remove, Full Screen left the View menu on purpose (AppKit adds its own), the SFTP filter says "search files", and the settings index titles its CLI row by its own label.
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
