Hi fellow Rustaceans,
We just released a new version of the Zellij terminal workspace and I’m very excited to present it to you.
Other than Zellij now natively running on Windows, we’ve added some powerful Rust APIs that I think you might find interesting. Rust plugins can now:
- Read terminal pane viewport and scrollback (on demand and as a subscription on changes)
- Highlight terminal pane viewport/scrollback text, including on mouse hover. Optionally receiving an event when the user
Alt+Mouse-clicks them. - Change pane background/foreground colors
- Be rendered as
borderless, without the pane boundaries, allowing them to seem as native integrated parts of the terminal
I think these capabilities open some super interesting plugin possibilities: eg. multi-select git status output with the mouse to decide what to stage, custom handling of compilation issues, clicking IP addresses or host names in the terminal to open an SSH connection, etc. Looking forward to seeing what you’ll come up with.
Check out the plugin docs for more info: https://zellij.dev/documentation/plugins.html
Otherwise, this release includes lots more stuff: improved CLI automation, a new layout manager, a better session manager, remote attach over HTTPS, read-only tokens and much more.
