[0.2.28] - 2026-02-18

Added

• Panel Mode Terminal Create/Delete Actions:
  • Press r or d in panel navigation mode to create a new terminal.
  • Press x in panel navigation mode to close (kill) the current terminal.
  • Added VS Code keybindings for r, d, x keys gated by secondaryTerminal.panelNavigationMode context.
  • Consolidated action keys into PANEL_ACTION_KEYS map for extensibility.
  • Updated panel mode indicator text to "PANEL MODE (h/j/k/l, r/d:new, x:close, Esc)".
  • Extended TerminalCommandHandlers.handleTerminalInteraction() to support create-terminal and kill-terminal message types.
  • Updated TerminalCreationService custom key event handler to allow r, d, x keys through to panel navigation.

[0.2.27] - 2026-02-15

Fixed

• Extension Keybindings Not Working:
  • Replaced terminalFocus (VS Code native terminal only) with custom secondaryTerminalFocus context key in all keybinding when conditions.
  • Added setContext('secondaryTerminalFocus', true/false) in SecondaryTerminalProvider on WebView resolve, visibility changes, and terminalFocused/terminalBlurred messages.
  • Added attachCustomKeyEventHandler in TerminalCreationService to bypass xterm.js for Ctrl+P and panel navigation keys, preventing ^P from being sent to the shell.

Changed

• Panel Navigation Mode Now Opt-In (Default: Disabled):

  • Added secondaryTerminal.panelNavigation.enabled setting (default: false).
  • Ctrl+P panel navigation toggle is only active when the setting is enabled, preventing conflicts with terminal multiplexers (zellij, tmux, screen) running inside the terminal.
  • Keybindings for navigation mode keys (h/j/k/l, arrow keys, Escape) are also gated by this setting.
  • Removed redundant secondaryTerminal.multiplexerMode setting.
  • Configuration changes are synchronized to WebView in real-time via panelNavigationEnabledChanged message.

• Gemini CLI 0.28.2 Support:

  • Confirmed compatibility with the latest Gemini CLI 0.28.2.
  • Added detection support for new subcommands: mcp, skills, extensions, and hooks.
  • Updated startup detection patterns to handle the latest Gemini CLI output.

[0.2.26] - 2026-02-14

Added

• Panel Navigation Mode (Zellij-style):
  • Added dedicated navigation mode for quick switching between split terminals.
  • Activation with Ctrl+P (all platforms). Cmd+P on macOS is reserved for VS Code Quick Open.
  • Navigation using h, j, k, l or arrow keys.
  • Exit mode with Escape or the toggle shortcut.
  • Visual mode indicator in the top-right corner.
  • Integrated with extension-side commands and context keys.

[0.2.25] - 2026-02-13

Fixed

• Tab Rename: Backspace Deletes Tab Instead of Character:

  • Pressing Backspace or Delete during inline tab rename no longer closes the tab.
  • Added guard in setupKeyboardNavigation to skip close-tab shortcut when a rename input is focused.
  • Moved e.stopPropagation() to apply to all keydown events in the rename input, preventing any key from bubbling to the container handler.

• Tab Rename: First Update Not Reflected:

  • After renaming, the tab label now updates immediately on the first attempt.
  • Reordered finishRename to restore the label element in the DOM before firing the rename event, matching HeaderFactory's finalizeRename pattern.
  • Previously, updateTabElement was skipped because the input guard detected the still-present rename input.

• Secondary Sidebar Maximize Stability (First Command Path):

  • Skipped panel location detection requests when secondaryTerminal.panelLocation is set to manual mode (sidebar or panel).
  • Ignored WebView-reported panel locations in manual mode and prioritized the explicit user setting.
  • Continued gating reportPanelLocation handling so only responses to explicit detection requests are accepted.
  • Removed activation-time setContext('secondaryTerminal.panelLocation', 'sidebar') to avoid startup layout recalculation that could cancel the maximized secondary sidebar state.

• Grid Layout for Sidebar Split Mode:

  • Enabled CSS Grid layout for split terminals in sidebar mode, improving space utilization.
  • Compact panel mode uses horizontal single-row layout.

• IME Composition Recovery:

  • Fixed input recovery after IME composition loss.

[0.2.23] - 2026-02-11

Fixed

• Secondary Sidebar Maximize Race Condition:

  • Fixed race condition in _handleWebviewVisible() where multiple visibility events within 200ms could bypass the detection guard and queue multiple setContext calls, each triggering VS Code layout recalculation that cancels the maximized sidebar state.
  • Moved _hasDetectedPanelLocation flag before setTimeout to prevent concurrent visibility events from creating duplicate detection timers.

• Error Path Unguarded setContext Removal:

  • Removed unconditional setContext('sidebar') fallback in requestPanelLocationDetection() error handler.
  • In auto mode, this fallback caused unnecessary VS Code layout recalculation.
  • In manual mode, it contradicted user's explicit panel location preference.
  • Detection failure now preserves cached value and retries on next visibility cycle.

[0.2.22] - 2026-02-11

Fixed

• Split Direction Regression Recovery:

  • Restored auto-detection behavior so wide WebView layouts use panel location and horizontal split.
  • Preserved vertical split for narrow layouts (sidebar location), matching pre-regression behavior.

• Secondary Sidebar Maximize Stability:

  • Prevented setContext('secondaryTerminal.panelLocation', ...) updates while panelLocation=auto.
  • This avoids VS Code layout recalculation side effects that could collapse maximized secondary sidebar state.

[0.2.18] - 2026-02-11

Added

  • Added minimum/maximum constraints to maxTerminals setting in package.json
  • Provides better flexibility for complex workflows and high-resolution displays

• Tab Double-Click Rename: Double-click a terminal tab to rename it inline

  • Rename input with Enter to confirm, Escape to cancel, blur to save
  • Delayed blur pattern prevents focus-steal issues during terminal activation
  • Close button double-click is excluded from triggering rename
  • Guard against concurrent updateTabElement destroying active rename input

Security

• Configuration Validation: Added runtime validation for split direction and panel location settings
  • Implemented isSplitDirection and isPanelLocation type guards in PanelLocationService
  • Prevents invalid or malicious configuration values from affecting terminal layout

  • Backward-compatible with existing session data (missing fields are gracefully ignored)

• AI Agent Toggle in None State: Clicking the toggle button now works when no agent is detected (#435)

  • Previously showed "AI Agent operation failed" error
  • Now sends force-reconnect to properly activate agent connection

Changed

• AI Agent Toggle Icon: Replaced 📎 (paperclip) with ⏻ (power toggle) for clearer semantics
  • Improved tooltip text for each connection state (connected/disconnected/none)

[0.2.14] - 2026-02-07

Fixed

• AI Agent Termination Detection: Replaced generic termination patterns with agent-specific detection (#432)

• File Reference Keyboard Shortcuts: Fix Cmd+Alt+L not responding on first press
  • Root Cause: Chord keybinding Cmd+Alt+L Cmd+Alt+L caused VS Code to wait for second keypress
  • Fix: Changed "Insert All Open Files" shortcut from chord to single key Cmd+Alt+A
  • New Shortcuts:
    • Cmd+Alt+L (Mac) / Ctrl+Alt+L (Win/Linux) - Insert current file reference
    • Cmd+Alt+A (Mac) / Ctrl+Alt+A (Win/Linux) - Insert all open files

[0.1.180] - 2025-12-22

Fixed

• DSR Response Handling for CLI Tools (Issue #341): Fix cursor position queries failing in tools like Codex
  • Root Cause: PerformanceManager.coordinator was never initialized, so DSR responses were silently dropped
  • Symptom: CLI tools using ESC[6n (cursor position query) would timeout with "cursor position could not be read"
  • Fix: Call initializePerformance(this) during manager initialization to enable DSR response routing
  • Affected Tools: Codex CLI, and any tool that queries terminal cursor position

[0.1.179] - 2025-12-22

Improved

• Default Profile Setting Documentation (Issue #329): Clarify that defaultProfile expects a profile name, not a path
  • Updated setting descriptions with examples: PowerShell 7, bash, zsh
  • Added validation to detect when users enter file paths instead of profile names
  • Shows helpful warning message guiding users to correct usage
  • Points to Terminal: Select Default Profile command to discover available profiles

[0.1.178] - 2025-12-21

Fixed

• Active Border Mode Setting: Fix activeBorderMode setting changes not taking effect

  • refreshAllBorders() now properly updates inline border styles, not just CSS classes
  • Mode changes are immediately reflected without requiring terminal recreation

• Fullscreen Border Visibility: Hide active border in fullscreen mode for multipleOnly setting

  • When activeBorderMode is multipleOnly, border now hides in fullscreen (single terminal visible)
  • Border reappears when switching to split view with multiple terminals

[0.1.177] - 2025-12-21

Added

• Active Border Mode Dropdown: Replace checkbox with dropdown for terminal border display (PR #319 by @tonydehnke)

  • New activeBorderMode setting with options: always, multipleOnly, none
  • always: Show border on active terminal even with single terminal
  • multipleOnly: Show border only when multiple terminals exist (default)
  • none: Never show active border
  • Migrates existing highlightActiveBorder setting automatically

• Cmd+V Image Paste for Claude Code: Enable image paste on macOS (PR #320 by @tonydehnke)

  • Paste images from clipboard using Cmd+V in Claude Code sessions
  • Images are saved as temporary files and sent as file references
  • Works alongside existing text paste functionality

Fixed

• Scrollback Persistence on Reload: Fix scrollback not being restored after Reload Window (Issue #341)

  • Root Cause: VS Code terminates process before deactivate() completes, so session save never finished
  • Fix: Auto-save session immediately (2s debounce) after scrollback cache update
  • Result: Scrollback is now reliably restored after Reload Window or restart

• Terminal Initialization: Improve terminal initialization reliability

  • Notify WebView after successful session restoration
  • Add null check for terminalId after createTerminal()

Removed

• Simplified WebView Mode: Remove experimental simplified WebView implementation
  • Delete src/webview/simple/ directory (4 files)
  • Remove useSimplifiedWebView setting from package.json

Changed

• Default Scrollback: Update default scrollback buffer from 1000 to 2000 lines
• Logger: Improve development mode detection for better debugging

[0.1.176] - 2025-12-21

Fixed

• ^L Display Issue: Fix ^L (Ctrl+L) characters being displayed in terminal on startup and resize (Issue #329)
  • Root Cause: Form feed character (\x0c) was sent to PTY after resize to refresh shell display
  • Fix: Remove explicit \x0c send - PTY already sends SIGWINCH automatically on resize
  • Result: No more ^L^L^L displayed in terminal

[0.1.175] - 2025-12-21

Fixed

• Mouse Text Selection Highlight: Fix selection highlight not visible when selecting text with mouse (PR #321 by @tonydehnke)

  • Root Cause: Property name mismatch (selection vs selectionBackground) and CSS interfering with selection layer
  • Fix: Rename to selectionBackground (xterm.js standard) and exclude .xterm-selection-layer from CSS reset
  • Result: Text selection now shows proper blue highlight when clicking and dragging

• Build Fix: Fix TypeScript error in ThemeManager.ts and remove SVG badge from README

[0.1.173] - 2025-12-20

Added

• Send All Open Files Shortcut: New keyboard shortcut to insert references for all open files

  • Complements the existing single-file shortcut (Cmd+Alt+L)

[0.1.172] - 2025-12-20

Fixed

• Per-Terminal Theme Application: Fix theme not being applied correctly to individual terminals
  • Root Cause: Theme was tracked globally with a single variable, causing incorrect theme application when multiple terminals exist
  • Fix: Use WeakMap to cache theme per terminal instance
  • Result: Each terminal now correctly receives and applies its theme settings

Changed

• CI/CD Simplification: Separate TDD quality check from release workflow
  • Remove TDD quality gate from release workflow (was causing timeouts)
  • TDD checks now run on branch push/PR only (separate workflow)
  • Release workflow is simpler and more reliable

[0.1.170] - 2025-12-20

Fixed

• Terminal Canvas Gap: Fix visible gap between terminal canvas and container edge

  • Root Cause: FitAddon reserves space for scrollbar (14px), leaving a visible gap when canvas (644px) is smaller than container (663px)
  • Fix: Apply viewport background color to .xterm element to hide the gap
  • Result: Terminal now displays without visible gaps at the edge

• Terminal Restore Order: Keep terminal order consistent when restoring sessions

  • Terminals now restore in the same order they were saved
  • Added reordering logic after session restore completion

• Terminal Restore Stability: Stabilize terminal restore and sizing

  • Save scrollback on exit using prefetch + cache to avoid empty scrollback

  • Fix 2: Track WebView instance changes and re-register message listeners for new instances
  • Fix 3: Add _reinitializeWebviewAfterPanelMove method for proper state restoration
  • Result: Terminals now display correctly after moving panel between sidebar and bottom panel

• Split Layout Direction on Panel Move: Fix split layout direction not updating when moving between sidebar and bottom panel

  • Root Cause: Split direction remained vertical even when moving to bottom panel (which should use horizontal)
  • Fix 1: Add setupPanelLocationSync to listen for panel location changes
  • Fix 2: Automatically rebuild split layout with correct direction (horizontal for panel, vertical for sidebar)
  • Fix 3: Add retry logic for terminals-wrapper class sync when wrapper isn't ready yet
  • Result: Split layout now correctly switches between horizontal (bottom panel) and vertical (sidebar)

[0.1.165] - 2025-12-13

Changed

[0.1.164] - 2025-12-11

Fixed

• Scrollback Loss on Sleep/Wake: Fix scrollback data being lost when PC wakes from sleep
  • Root Cause: WebView didn't detect sleep/wake events; scrollback wasn't saved before sleep or restored after wake
  • Fix 1: Add visibilitychange event handler to detect sleep/wake transitions
  • Fix 2: Save all terminal scrollback immediately when page becomes hidden (before sleep)
  • Fix 3: Request scrollback refresh from Extension when waking after >5 seconds of hidden state
  • Fix 4: Add requestScrollbackRefresh message handler in Extension to resend cached scrollback
  • Result: Scrollback is now preserved across sleep/wake cycles

[0.1.163] - 2025-12-10

Fixed

• Scrollback Loss on Long Idle: Fix scrollback data being lost when terminal is left idle for extended periods
  • Root Cause: Auto-save only triggered on user input/output events; long idle periods caused stale cache
  • Fix 1: Add 30-second periodic auto-save in WebView to ensure scrollback is captured during idle
  • Fix 2: Clear Extension cache before periodic saves to force fresh data extraction
  • Fix 3: Extend scrollback extraction timeout from 500ms to 2000ms for reliable capture
  • Result: Latest scrollback content is now reliably saved even after hours of inactivity

[0.1.162] - 2025-12-04

Fixed

• Terminal 1 Initial Styling Inconsistency: Fix Terminal 1 having different color/styling on initial display
  • Root Cause: All terminals were created with isActive: false, active styling applied asynchronously later
  • Fix: Pass isActive flag through terminal config and apply border styling BEFORE terminal opens
  • Result: Terminal 1 now has consistent active styling from the start (no visual flicker)
  • Added updateSingleTerminalBorder method to UIManager for early border application

[0.1.161] - 2025-12-04

  • Prevent duplicate terminals and state mismatch between Extension and WebView
  • Add proper layout cleanup after terminal removal

• Split Layout Resizers: Disable non-functional resizer creation temporarily

  • Resizers were leaving visual garbage when terminals were deleted
  • Disabled until resize functionality is properly implemented

[0.1.160] - 2025-12-04

Fixed

• Font Settings Data Format Mismatch: Fix font settings not being applied to terminals
  • Root Cause: Extension sends config.fontFamily/config.fontSize directly, but WebView looked for config.fontSettings.fontFamily
  • Fix: WebView now checks both direct config properties AND nested fontSettings object
  • Result: MesloLGS NF and other Nerd Fonts now correctly applied on terminal startup
  • Added validation to only apply non-empty font values (prevents overwriting with empty strings)
  • Clear font setting cache before each access to ensure fresh values

[0.1.159] - 2025-12-04

Fixed

• Font Settings Not Applied (Complete Fix): Comprehensive fix for Nerd Font icons not displaying
  • Root Cause: terminalCreated message didn't include font settings, and WebView processed messages asynchronously
  • Fix 1: Include fontSettings in terminalCreated message from Extension
  • Fix 2: WebView TerminalCreationService uses config.fontSettings if available (priority over ConfigManager)
  • Fix 3: Support both msg.terminalId and msg.terminal.id message formats for compatibility
  • Result: Font settings are now guaranteed to be available at terminal creation time
  • Dual safety net: fontSettingsUpdate message + embedded config.fontSettings in terminalCreated

[0.1.158] - 2025-12-04

Fixed

• Font Settings Timing Issue: Fix font not applied on startup
  • Send fontSettingsUpdate message BEFORE terminal creation (not after)
