Changes
Releases are named using the date, time and git commit hash.
Continuous/Nightly
A bleeding edge build is produced continually (as commits are made, and at
least a daily scheduled build) from the main
branch. It may not be usable
and the feature set may change, but since @wez uses this as a daily driver, its
usually the best available version.
As features stabilize some brief notes about them will accumulate here.

option when connecting #2893- Windows: panic when minimizing a window when
front_end='WebGpu'
#2881 - X11:
wezterm.screens().active
is now populated based on the currently focused window, rather than just copying themain
screen data. Thanks to @NBonaparte! #2928 - Resizing windows when overriding the dpi in the config would not respect the specified dpi. Thanks to @niclashoyer! #2914 #2978
- Wayland: mouse cursor didn't auto-hide when typing. Thanks to @jmbaur! #2977
- mux:
default_workspace
was not always respected when spawning #2981 - window:active_key_table() now
factors in pane-specific key table stacks for things like
CopyMode
. #2986 - modal overlays like CharSelect and the command palette sometimes wouldn't render when first activated until pressing a key.

#1485- Window title reporting escape sequences are now disabled by default. See here for more details
- Withdraw DEC private SGR escapes that affect superscript and subscript due to xterm/vim conflict mintty/#1189
- Removed deprecated
Copy
,Paste
andPastePrimarySelection
actions. Use CopyTo and PasteFrom instead. wezterm -e
is now an alias forwezterm start
. Thanks to @Abdiramen! #2889 #2782- bold_brightens_ansi_colors

Gruvbox Dark
was renamed toGruvboxDark
and adjusted in the upstream iTerm2-Color-Schemes repo - Config warnings, such as using deprecated or invalid fields will now cause the configuration error window to be shown. Previously, only hard errors were shown, which meant that a number of minor config issues could be overlooked.
- Referencing
wezterm.GLOBAL
now returns references rather than copies, making it less cumbersome to code read/modify/write with global state wezterm start
now accepts--domain
and--attach
options.wezterm connect DOMAIN
is now implemented internally aswezterm start --domain DOMAIN --attach

- Improved search performance
- Quickselect: now defaults to searching 1000 lines above and below the current viewport, making it faster and the labels shorter for users with a larger scrollback. A new
scope_lines
parameter to QuickSelectArgs allows controlling the search region explicitly. Thanks to @yyogo for the initial PR! #1317 - OSC 10, 11 and 12 (Set Default Text Background, Default Text Foreground Color, and Text Cursor Color) now support setting the alpha component #2313, and added CSI 38:6,

- Tab bar could show a gap to the right when resizing
- Padding could show window background rather than pane background around split panes at certain window sizes #2210
- Loading dynamic escape sequence scripts from the iTerm2-Color-Scheme dynamic-colors directory would only apply the first 7 colors

- Shift-F1 through F4 generated different encoding than xterm #2263
- X11/Wayland: apps that extract the
Exec
field from wezterm.desktop (such as thunar, Dolphin and others) can now simply concatenate the command line they want to invoke, and it will spawn in the their current working directory. Thanks to @Anomalocaridid! #2271 #2103 - gui-startup now passes a SpawnCommand parameter representing the
wezterm start
command arguments. - Tab
x
button is no longer obscured by tab title text for long tab titles #2269 - Cursor position could end up in the wrong place when rewrapping lines and the cursor was on the rewrap boundary #2162
- Two or more panes closing at the same time could result in their containing tab hanging and being stuck with "no pane" for a title #2304

. Unknown options continue to generate warnings (rather than errors) when observed in the config file so that you're not "locked out" of wezterm if you make a typo in the config file. - Windows: allow_win32_input_mode now defaults to
true
and enables using win32-input-mode to send high-fidelity keyboard input to ConPTY. This means that win32 console applications, such as FAR Manager that use the low levelINPUT_RECORD
API will now receive key-up events as well as events for modifier-only key presses. #1509 #2009 #2098 #1904 - Wayland: enable_wayland now defaults to
true
. #2104 - exit_behavior now defaults to
"Close"
. #2105 - Improved wezterm.action syntax for slightly more ergnomic and understandable key assignments. #1150

#1851 - Scrollbar stopped working after a lot of output scrolled outside of the scrollback limit. Thanks to @davidrios! #1866
- Windows: uncommitted IME composition could get stuck when switching input methods. #1922
- OSC sequences, such as those that change the window or tab title, that accept a single string parameter will now join multiple parameters together. This allows window and tab titles to contain a semicolon. Thanks to @kumattau! #1939
- Unable to use

produced incorrect results #1902 - X11: Fixed an issue where copy and paste between two wezterm windows could produce stale results. #2110
- Mouse selection spanning multiple lines always included the first column even when the mouse was to the left of the first column. Thanks to @Funami580! #2106
- Fonts: Codepoints for eg: symbol glyphs that were not explicitly listed in your font fallback list may not be resolved when used in styled (eg: bold) text. #1913 #2158
20220408-101518-b908e2dd
New
- Key Tables feature for powerful modal key assignments
wezterm start --position x,y
,wezterm start --position displayname:30%,30%
option to control starting window position on all systems except for Wayland. Seewezterm start --help
for more info. #1794
Changed
- Default key assignments are
mapped:
again. A new key_map_preference option allows the defaults to use"Mapped"
or"Physical"
. - Disabled ligatures for
"Monaco"
and"Menlo"
fonts, as those have"fi"
ligatures that match even for words such asfind
. #1786 #1736 - Removed the
send_composed_key_when_alt_is_pressed
option. When processing genericALT
(eg: that has neither left nor right), if eithersend_composed_key_when_left_alt_is_pressed
orsend_composed_key_when_right_alt_is_pressed
is true, then the composed form of the key event will be generated.
Updated and Improved
- Bundled harfbuzz to 4.2.0
- On macOS, non-native fullscreen mode now attempts to avoid the notch on systems that have one. #1737
- Sixel parsing performance has been improved
- You may now specify a scaling factor per fallback font, which is useful when your preferred CJK font renders smaller than your Roman primary font, for example.
- Color schemes: Retro, GitHub Dark, Blazer
- Wayland: touchpad scroll is now more responsive/precise. Thanks to @davidrios! #1800 #1840
- Kitty image protocol: now also supports shared memory data transmission. Thanks to @tantei3! #1810
- Secondary DA response bumped up to persuade vim to set
ttymouse=sgr
by default. #1825
Fixed
- Incorrect csi-u encoding with non-ascii characters. #1746
- X11
_NET_WM_ICON
had red/blue channels swapped #1754 - ls-fonts output didn't quote the
style
field #1762 window_decorations = "RESIZE"
on Windows prevented minimize/maximize and aerosnap, double click to maximize, and had an ugly top border. Many thanks to @davidrios! #1674 #1675 #1771- On Windows, explorer shortcut icons with the maximized setting would fall out of maximized state on startup. Thanks to @davidrios! #1502
LANG
environment variable was not always set on macOS, leading to mojibake when entering CJK. #1761 #1765- Fonts with only non-unicode names (eg: only using a Chinese multibyte string encoding) were treated as having names like
?????
and were not accessible. #1761 - Hover state of leftmost retro style tab was overly sticky when the mouse moved out of the tab. #1764
- On macOS, the font size could incorrectly double or halve after waking from sleep or moving the window to/from an external monitor. #1566 #1745
- On Windows, touchpad scrolling was janky. Many thanks to @davidrios! #1773 #1725 #949
- X11: workaround i3-gaps not sending initial CONFIGURE_NOTIFY or FOCUS events, leading to weird initial window size and broken focus status. #1710 #1757
- Hyperlink rules with more captures than replacements could panic wezterm when text matched. #1780
- Malformed XTGETTCAP response. #1781
- Multiplexer performance with images was unusuable for all but tiny images. #1237

spacing as monospace. #1820 - Multiplexer render update laggy, especially when using multiple windows. #1814 #1841
20220319-142410-0fcdea07
New
- window:composition_status() and window:leader_is_active() methods that can help populate window:set_right_status() #686
- You may now use
colors = { compose_cursor = "orange" }
to change the cursor color when IME, dead key or leader key composition states are active. - Support for SGR-Pixels mouse reporting. Thanks to Autumn Lamonte! #1457
- ActivatePaneByIndex key assignment action. #1517
- Windows: wezterm may now use win32-input-mode to send high-fidelity keyboard input to ConPTY. This means that win32 console applications, such as FAR Manager that use the low level
INPUT_RECORD
API will now receive key-up events as well as events for modifier-only key presses. Useallow_win32_input_mode=true
to enable this. #318 #1509 #1510 - Windows: default_domain, wsl_domains options and wezterm.default_wsl_domains() provide more flexibility for WSL users. The effect of
add_wsl_distributions_to_launch_menu=false
was replaced bywsl_domains={}
. Symbols Nerd Font Mono
is now bundled with WezTerm and is included as a default fallback font. This means that you may use any of the glyphs available in the Nerd Fonts collection with any font without patching fonts and without explicitly adding that font to your fallback list. Pomicons have an unclear license for distribution and are excluded from this bundled font, however, you may manually install the font with those icons from the Nerd Font site itself and it will take precedence over the bundled font. This font replaces the olderPowerlineExtraSymbols
font. #1521.- wezterm.nerdfonts as a convenient way to resolve Nerd Fonts glyphs by name in your config file
- ShowLauncherArgs key assignment to show the launcher scoped to certain items, or to launch it directly in fuzzy matching mode
- Workspaces. Follow work in progress on #1531 and #1322! window:active_workspace(), default_workspace, SwitchWorkspaceRelative, SwitchToWorkspace

- Removed the
ALT-[NUMBER]
default key assignments as they are not good for non-US layouts. #1542 wezterm cli
, when run outside of a wezterm pane, now prefers to connect to the main GUI instance rather than background mux server. Usewezterm cli --prefer-mux
to ignore the GUI instance and talk only to the mux server. Seewezterm cli --help
for additional information.- ScrollByPage now accepts fractional numbers like
0.5
to scroll by half a page at time. Thanks to @hahuang65! #1534 - use_ime now defaults to
true
on all platforms; previously it was not enabled by default on macOS. - canonicalize_pasted_newlines default has changed to be more compatible for
nano
users, and now provides more control over the text format that is pasted. #1575 - Blinking text is now eased rather than binary-blinked. See text_blink_ease_in and text_blink_ease_out, text_blink_rapid_ease_in and text_blink_rapid_ease_out for more information.
- Blinking text cursor is now eased rather than binary-blinked. See cursor_blink_ease_in and cursor_blink_ease_out.
Updated and Improved
- IME and dead key composition state now shows inline in the terminal using the terminal font (All platforms, except Wayland where we only support dead key composition)
- macOS:
use_ime=true
no longer prevents key repeat from working with some keys #1131 - Bundled harfbuzz to 4.0.1
Fixed
- Regression that broke fontconfig aliases such as
"monospace"
#1250 - Windows/X11/Wayland: CTRL+C in non-latin keyboard layouts wouldn't send CTRL+C #678

- Avoid OOM when processing sixels with huge repeat counts #1610
- Set the sticky bit on socket and pid files created in
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR
to avoid removal by tmpwatch #1601 - Shaping combining sequences like
e U+20d7
could "lose" the vector symbol if the font produced an entry with nox_advance
. #1617 - Setting the cursor color via escape sequences now take precedence over
force_reverse_video_cursor
. #1625 - Fixed Detection of DECSDM support via DECRQM/DECRPM, Correct sixel image placement when DECSDM is set and VT340 default sixel colors. Thanks to Autumn! #1577
- Fixed missing whitespace from intermediate lines when copying a wrapped logical line #1635

- Fall back from
top_left_arrow
toleft_ptr
when loading XCursor themes #1655 - Fixed lingering hover state in titlebar when the mouse pointer left the window. Thanks to @davidrios! #1434
- We now respect the difference between
Italic
andOblique
font styles when matching fonts. You may explicitly specifystyle="Oblique"
rather than usingitalic=true
for fonts that offer both italic and oblique variants. #1646 - Hang when clicking a URL would launch the browser for the first time on unix systems #1721
- Wayland input handling gets broken after suspend/resume. Thanks to @LawnGnome! #1497
20220101-133340-7edc5b5a
New
- Fancy Tab Bars are now the default. The default tab bar colors have changed to accommodate the new more native look. You can turn them off by setting use_fancy_tab_bar = false.
- Support for the Kitty Image Protocol is now enabled by default. Most of the protocol is supported; animation support is not yet implemented. Try the amazing notcurses if you want to see what modern terminal graphics can do! #986
- unix domains now support an optional
proxy_command
to use in place of a direct unix socket connection. Read more about multiplexing unix domains - ScrollToTop and ScrollToBottom key assignments #1360

andcurrent_working_dir
fields, and pane:get_current_working_dir is now supported on Windows for local processes, even without using OSC 7. #1421 #915 #876 - ActivatePaneDirection now also supports
"Next"
and"Prev"
to cycle through panes #976 - pane:get_logical_lines_as_text to retrieve unwrapped logical lines from a pane #1468

left button release assignment now also accepts SHIFT being held in order to make SHIFT-clickExtendSelectionToMouseCursor
feel more ergonomic if the mouse button is released before the SHIFT key. #1204 - Unicode BIDI and other zero-width graphemes are now filtered out from the terminal model. It's not ideal in the sense that that information is essentially lost when copying to the clipboard, but it makes the presentation correct. #1422
- use_ime now defaults to
true
on X11 systems
Updated and Improved
- Bundled harfbuzz to 3.2.0

keys
config look more consistent - Mouse wheel events are now routed to the hovered pane, rather than sent to the focused pane #798
Fixed
- DECSTR (terminal soft reset) now turns off DECLRMM (left and right margin mode). Thanks to @ninjalj! #1376
- Improved conformance of CUP, HVP, SLRM, STBM escape sequences by support empty first parameter. Thanks to @ninjalj! #1377
- tab bar didn't correctly handle double-wide cells and could truncate at edges when using
format-tab-title
#1371 wezterm cli --no-auto-start
was not respected- Pixel geometry configured on the PTY in new windows could be incorrect on HiDPI displays until the window was resized #1387
- Image attachment geometry for imgcat and sixels could stretch the image across the rounded up number of cells that contained the image. #1300, #1270
- Closing a split pane created inside a
wezterm ssh
session wouldn't actually close the pane #1197 - Clicking when unfocused could lead to unwanted text selection #1140 #1310
- Changing font scaling on Windows no longer causes the initial terminal rows/cols to be under-sized #1381
- New version update notifications are now more coordinated between multiple wezterm GUI instances, and update related configuration now respects configuration reloading. #1402
- TLS domains bootstrapping via SSH now use the
libssh
backend by default and work more reliably on Windows - Closing a window will no longer recursively terminate contained multiplexer client panes; the window will instead be restored when you next connect to that multiplexer server.

- Colors were too intense due to over gamma correction #1025
- Mesa and EGL colors were too dim due to under gamma correction #1373
wezterm ssh

use_ime=true
conflicted withLEADER
key assignments #1409 - macOS: certain keys (eg:
F8
andF9
) did nothing whenuse_ime=true
. #975 - Splitting a tab would cause the window to lose its transparency #1459
20211205-192649-672c1cc1
Fixed
- Windows:
wezterm <something>
would fail silently when spawningwezterm-gui
under the covers. Regression introduced by #1278. Workaround is to directly spawnwezterm-gui
. - Windows: the PTY handles were ignored in favor of the redirected stdio handles of the parent of the wezterm mux process #1358
- Windows: Failure to spawn
wezterm
when launching an ssh mux domain session no longer waits forever - "Update available" message kept showing even though already running the latest version #1365
20211204-082213-a66c61ee9
New
- X11 now supports IME. It currently defaults to disabled, but you can set
use_ime = true
in your config to enable it (you need to restart wezterm for this to take effect). Many thanks to @H-M-H for bringing xcb-imdkit to Rust and implementing this in wezterm! #250 #1043 - it is now possible to define colors in the range 16-255 in
colors
and color scheme definitions. Thanks to @potamides! #841 #1056 - Added SendKey key assignment action that makes it more convenient to rebind the key input that is sent to a pane.
- Added Multiple key assignment action for combining multuple actions in a single press.
- Added use_resize_increments option to tell X11, Wayland, macOS window resizing to prefers to step in increments of the cell size
- visual_bell and audible_bell configuration options, as well as a bell event allows you to trigger lua code when the bell is rung. #3
- wezterm.action_callback function to make it easier to use custom events. Thanks to @bew! #1151
wezterm connect
now also supports the--class
parameter to override the window class- window_padding now accepts values such as
"1cell"
or"30%"
to compute values based on font or window metrics. - BSDish systems now support toast notifications

libssh
by default. ssh_backend can be used to change this. - unzoom_on_switch_pane option. Thanks to @yyogo #1301
- unicode_version option and corresponding OSC escape sequences that affects how the width of certain unicode sequences are interpreted.
- macOS: binaries produced by wezterm's CI are now codesigned, which resolves some spurious permission dialogs that affected some users #482
Changed
- new default key assignments: CTRL+PageUp and CTRL+Tab activate next tab, CTRL+PageDown and CTRL+SHIFT+Tab activate previous tab. ALT+{1..8} directly select the first through 8th tabs. Thanks to @friederbluemle! #1132
- X11: we now allow matching visuals with >= 8 bits per rgb value. Previously, we only matched exactly 8 bits. This improve compatibility with systems that have the COMPOSITE extension disabled. Thanks to @shizeeg! #1083
- The incomplete
Allsorts
shaper was removed. - Windows:
wezterm-gui.exe
now only grabs the parent process' console handle when spawned fromwezterm.exe
, which prevents some frustrating interactions when launchingwezterm-gui.exe
viastart
in cmd/powershell. #1278 - AppImage: take care to remove APPIMAGE related environment when spawning child processes. Thanks to @srevinsaju! #1338
Updated and Improved

- window close confirmations now accept both uppercase and lowercase Y/N key presses. Thanks to @SpyrosRoum! #1119
- multi-click-streaks are now interrupted by the cursor moving to a different cell. Thanks to @valpackett! #1126
.deb
packages nowProvides: x-terminal-emulator
. #1139- use_cap_height_to_scale_fallback_fonts now computes cap-height based on the rasterized glyph bitmap which means that the data is accurate in more cases, including for bitmap fonts. Scaling is now also applied across varying text styles; previously it only applied to a font within an
wezterm.font_with_fallback
font list. - Can now match fontconfig aliases, such as
monospace
, on systems that use fontconfig. Thanks to @valpackett! #1149 - Powerline semicircle glyphs now look much better. Thanks to @bew and @sdrik! #1311
- Splits now look better, especially when using escape sequences to change the default background color #1256
Fixed
wezterm cli spawn
would use the initial terminal size for a new tab, rather than using the current tab size #920text_background_opacity
opacity was not respected- spawning commands via the mux didn't respect the
PATH
configured inset_environment_variables
. #1029 - cursor could have a transparent "hole" through the window with certain cursor styles
- Consolas font + random input could cause a divide-by-zero when computing glyph metrics #1042
- Emoji fallback was too strict in respecting VS15/VS16 presentation selection, adjust the fallback to allow showing Emoji/Text presentation if Text/Emoji was requested but not found.
- X11: laggy input after selecting text. #1027
- macOS:
send_composed_key_when_left_alt_is_pressed
andsend_composed_key_when_right_alt_is_pressed
are now respected whenuse_ime=true
. Thanks to @jakelinnzy! #1096 - X11: jittery resize with some window managers #1051
- X11: window:get_appearance now actually returns Dark when the theme is dark. #1098
- ALT + Arrow, PageUp/PageDown, Ins, Del, Home, End incorrectly sent ESC prefixed key sequences. #892
- Crash due to Out of Memory condition when the iTerm2 protocol was used to send excessively large PNG files #1031
DCH
(delete char) sequence would remove cells and replace them with default-blank cells instead of blank-cells-with-current-bg-color. #789- invisible I-beam or underline cursor when
force_reverse_video_cursor = true
#1076 SU
(scroll up) sequence would fill with default-blank cells instead of blank-cells-with-current-bg-color. #1102- X11: computed but did not use the correct DPI for HiDPI screens #947
- performance when resolving fallback fonts via fontconfig, and of coverage calculation with freetype. Thanks to @H-M-H!
- Wayland: incorrect initial surface size for HiDPI screens. Thanks to @valpackett! #1111 #1112
- invisible cursor in CopyMode when using kakoune #1113
- Wayland:
bypass_mouse_reporting_modifiers
didn't work. Thanks to @valpackett! #1122 - new tabs could have the wrong number of rows and columns if a tiling WM resizes the window before OpenGL has been setup. #1074
- Wayland: dragging the window using the tab bar now works. Thanks to @valpackett! #1127
- error matching a font when that font is in a .ttc that contains multiple font families. #1137
- Wayland: panic with most recent wlroots. Thanks to @valpackett! #1144
- incorrect spacing for IDEOGRAPHIC SPACE. #1161
- italic fonts weren't always recognized as being italic, resulting in italic variants being used instead of the non-italic variants in some cases! #1162
- Ask freetype for cell metrics in bitmap-only fonts, rather than simply taking the bitmap width. #1165
- wezterm can now match bitmap fonts that are spread across multiple font files #1189
- ssh config parser incorrectly split
Host
patterns with commas instead of whitespace #1196 - search now auto-updates when the pane content changes #1205
- fonts with emoji presentation are shifted to better align with the primary font baseline #1203
- the whole tab was closed when only the zoomed pane exited. #1235
- multiplexer: wrong
WEZTERM_UNIX_SOCKET
environment passed to children when using unix domain sockets andconnect_automatically=true
#1222 - multiplexer: spawning remote tabs didn't correctly record local tab mapping, resulting in phantom additional tabs showing in the client. #1222
wezterm ls-fonts --text "✘"
didn't account for the system fallback list. #849- macOS: The

andwezterm cli split-pane --cwd ..
now resolve relative paths #1243- Incorrect DECRPTUI response to DA3. Thanks to @ninjalj! #1330
- Reloading config now loads newly defined multiplexer domains, however, existing domains are not updated. #1279
20210814-124438-54e29167
- Fixed: ssh client would read
/etc/ssh/config
rather than the proper/etc/ssh/ssh_config

- The GUI layer now normalizes SHIFT state for keyboard processing.
If a keypress is ASCII uppercase and SHIFT is held then the
SHIFT modifier is removed from the set of active modifiers. This
has implications for your key assignment configuration; previously
you would write
{key="T", mods="CTRL|SHIFT"}
, after updating to this release you need to write{key="T", mods="CTRL"}
in order for your key bindings to take effect. - Added
show_tab_index_in_tab_bar
option which defaults to true. Causes the tab's ordinal index to be prefixed to tab titles. The displayed number is 1-based. You can settab_and_split_indices_are_zero_based=true
if you prefer the number to be zero based. - On Linux and macOS systems, wezterm can now attempt to guess the current working directory that should be set in newly spawned local panes/tabs, in case you don't have OSC 7 integration setup in your shell.
- We now bundle JetBrains Mono and use it as the default font, and add it as a default fallback font. Similarly, we also bundle Noto Color Emoji as a default fallback for emoji.
- Added
automatically_reload_config=false
option to disable automatic config reloading. When set to false, you will need to manually trigger a config reload (default:SUPER+R
orCTRL+SHIFT+R
) CloseCurrentTab
now requires aconfirm
parameter.- Halved the memory usage requirements per Cell in the common case (saving 32 bytes per cell), which gives more headroom for users with large scrollback.
- Reduced initial GPU VRAM requirement to 2MiB. Improved texture allocation to avoid needing lots of VRAM.
- macOS: Fix issue where new windows would open as Cocoa tabs when wezterm was maximized.
- macOS: Fix issue where wezterm wouldn't adjust to DPI changes when dragging across monitors or the screen resolution changed
- macOS: Reduced trackpad based scrolling sensitivity; it was hyper sensitive in previous releases, and now it is more reasonable.
- Fix an issue where EGL failed to initialize on Linux
- If EGL/WGL/OpenGL fail to initialize, we now try to fallback to Mesa OpenGL in software render mode. This should result in its llvmpipe renderer being used as a fallback, which has improved visuals compared to wezterm's own basic CPU based renderer. (This applies to X11/Wayland and Windows systems).
- Setting
front_end="Software"
will try to use the Mesa OpenGL software renderer if available (X11/Wayland/Windows). The old basic CPU renderer has been removed. - The multiplexer server has been moved into its own
wezterm-mux-server
executable. You will need to revise yourserve_command
configuration. - Windows: when started in an RDP session, force the use of the Mesa software renderer to work around problems with RDP GPU emulation.
- Fixed an issue with TLS Multiplexing where bootstrapping certificates would usually fail.
- Windows: Fixed an issue that prevented ALT-Space from showing the system menu in the window.
- Windows: Fixed dead key handling. By default dead keys
behave the same as in other programs and produce diacritics.
However, setting
use_dead_keys = false
in the config will cause dead keys to behave like a regular key; eg:^
would just emit^
as its own character. - Windows: Fixed an issue with the
Hide
key assignment; it would hide the window with no way to show it again!Hide
now minimizes the window instead. - macOS: we now use Metal to render the gui, via MetalANGLE
- Windows: we now prefer to use Direct3D11 to render the
gui, via ANGLE
EGL. The primary benefit of this is that upgrading your
graphics drivers while you have a stateful wezterm session
will no longer terminate the wezterm process. Resize
behavior is not as smooth with ANGLE as the prior WGL.
If you wish, you can set
prefer_egl = false
to use WGL. - Improved image protocol support to have better render fidelity and to reduce VRAM usage when the same image it displayed multiple times in the same pane.
20200909-002054-4c9af461
- Added support for OSC 1 (Icon Title changing), and changed how that interacts with OSC 2 (Window Title changing). If you specify OSC 1 as a non-empty string, then that will be used for the title of that terminal instance in the GUI. Otherwise the Window Title will be reported instead.
- Added missing mappings for Application Keypad keys on Linux
- Workaround an EGL issue where Mesa reports the least-best alpha value when enumerating configs, rather than the best alpha. This could lead to incorrect alpha under XWayland and failure to initialize EGL and fallbacks to the Software renderer in some other cases.
enable_wayland
now defaults tofalse
; mutter keeps breaking client-side window decoration so let's just make it opt-in so that the default experience is better.- Fixed a crash on Linux/X11 when using
wezterm connect HOST
- Added
tab_max_width
config setting to limit the maximum width of tabs in the tab bar. This defaults to 16 glyphs in width.
20200718-095447-d2315640
- Added support for DECSET 1004 Focus Reporting to local (not multiplexer) terminal sessions.
- Added support for SGR 53/55 which enable/disable Overline style.
printf "\x1b[53moverline\x1b[0m\n"
- Windows: updated bundled openconsole.exe to efb1fdd to resolve an issue where bold text didn't respect the configured color scheme.
- Added
bold_brightens_ansi_colors
option to allow disabling the automatic brightening of bold text. - Unix: fix an issue where setting the current working directory for a custom spawned command would not take effect (thanks @john01dav!)
- Windows: fixed buffering/timing issue where a response to a color query in
vim could be misinterpreted and replace a character in the editor with the
letter
g
. - X11: Improved support for non-24bpp display depths. WezTerm now tries harder to obtain an 8bpc surface on both 16bpp and 30bpp (10bpc) displays.
- Windows: fixed falling back to a simpler OpenGL context if WGL is unable to negotiate a robust context. This is useful on systems with dual high/low power GPU hardware where the OpenGL versions for the two GPUs are different!
- Color Schemes: synced with ea2c841
which includes new schemes:
Adventure
,Banana Blueberry
,Blue Matrix
,BlueBerryPie
,Cyberdyne
,Django
,DjangoRebornAgain
,DjangoSmooth
,DoomOne
,Konsolas
,Laser
,Mirage
,Rouge 2
,Sakura
,Scarlet Protocol
,synthwave-everything
,Tinacious Design (Dark)
,Tinacious Design (Light)
.
20200620-160318-e00b076c
- Fixed default mapping of ambiguous ctrl key combinations (
i
,m
,[
,{
,@
) so that they emit the old school tab, newline, escape etc. values. These got broken as part of prototyping CSI-u support a while back. - Added option to enable CSI-u key encodings. This is a new mapping scheme
defined here http://www.leonerd.org.uk/hacks/fixterms/ that disambiguates
and otherwise enables more key binding combinations. You can enable this
setting using
enable_csi_u_key_encoding = true
in your config file. - Very early support for sixel graphics
- macos:
use_ime
now defaults to false; this is a better out of the box experience for most users. - macos: we now attempt to set a reasonable default LANG environment based on the locale settings at the time that wezterm is launched.
- macos: introduce
send_composed_key_when_left_alt_is_pressed
andsend_composed_key_when_right_alt_is_pressed
boolean config settings. Like the existingsend_composed_key_when_alt_is_pressed
option, these control whether theAlt
orOption
modifier produce composed output or generate the raw key position with the ALT modifier applied. The difference from the existing config option is that on systems where Left and Right Alt can be distinguished you now have the ability to control this behavior independently. The default behavior on these systems issend_composed_key_when_left_alt_is_pressed=false
andsend_composed_key_when_right_alt_is_pressed=true
so that the right Alt key behaves more like anAltGr
key and generates the composed input, while the Left Alt is regular uncomposed Alt. - Fonts: fixed an issue where specifying italic or bold in the second parameter
of
wezterm.font
didn't work as intended or documented - Improved terminal emulation conformance; added left/right margin support and now passes esctest to a similar degree as iTerm2
- Fixed an issue where unmodified F5+ would use the CSI-u encoded-modifiers
format, and confused eg:
htop
. ActivateTab
now accepts negative numbers as a way to reference the last tab in the Window. The default assignment forCTRL+SHIFT+9
andCMD+9
is nowActivateTab=-1
, which selects the last tab.- Fixed an issue when applying hyperlink rules to lines that had mixed width characters
20200607-144723-74889cd4
- Windows: Fixed AltGr handling for European layouts
- X11: Added
PastePrimarySelection
key assignment that pastes the contents of the primary selection rather than the clipboard. - Removed old TOML config file parsing code
- Removed old
arg="something"
key binding parameter. This was a remnant from the TOML based configuration. You're unlikely to notice this unless you followed an example from the docs; migrate instead to using eg:action=wezterm.action{ActivateTab=i-1}
to pass the integer argument. - Windows: now also available with a setup.exe installer. The installer enables "Open WezTerm Here" in the explorer.exe context menu.
- Added
ClearScrollback
key assignment to clear the scrollback. This is bound to CMD-K and CTRL-SHIFT-K by default. - Added
Search
key assignment to search the scrollback. Read the new scrollback section for more information! - Fixed an issue where ALT+number would send the wrong output for European
keyboard layouts on macOS and Linux. As part of this the default behavior
has changed: we used to force ALT+number to produce ALT+number instead of
the composed key for that layout. We now emit the composed key by default.
You can switch to the old behavior either by explicitly binding those keys
or by setting
send_composed_key_when_alt_is_pressed = false
in your configuration file. - Windows: the launcher menu now automatically lists out any WSL environments
you have installed so that you can quickly spawn a shell in any of them.
You can suppress this behavior if you wish by setting
add_wsl_distributions_to_launch_menu = false
. Read more about the launcher menu - Added
ActivateCopyMode
key assignment to put the tab into mouseless-copy mode; use the keyboard to define the selected text region. This is bound to CTRL-SHIFT-X by default.
20200517-122836-92c201c6
- AppImage: Support looking for configuration in
WezTerm.AppImage.config
andWezTerm.AppImage.home
to support portable thumbdrive use of wezterm on linux systems - We now check the github releases section for updated stable releases and show
a simple UI to let you know about the update, with links to download/install
it. We don't automatically download the release: just make a small REST API
call to github. There is no data collection performed by the wezterm project
as part of this. We check once every 24 hours. You can set
check_for_updates = false
in your config to disable this completely if desired, or setcheck_for_updates_interval_seconds
to an alternative update interval. - Added support for OSC 110-119 to reset dynamic colors, improving our support for Neovim.
- Change OSC rendering to use the long-form
ST
sequenceESC \
rather than the more convenient alternativeBEL
representation, which was not recognized by Neovim when querying for color information. - Fixed Shift-Tab key on X11 and Wayland
- WezTerm is now also available to Windows users via Scoop
20200503-171512-b13ef15f
- Added the
launch_menu
configuration for the launcher menu as described in Launching Programs. - Fixed a crash when reloading a config with
enable_tab_bar=false
- Fixed missing icon when running under X11 and Wayland
- Wayland client-side-decorations improved and now also render window title
- Implicitly SGR reset when switching alt and primary screen
- Improved config error reporting UI: we now show just a single window with all errors rather than one window per failed reload.
20200406-151651-5b700e4
- Added lua based configuration. Reading TOML configuration will be rapidly phased out in favor of the more flexible lua config; for now, both are supported, but new features may not be available via TOML.
- Added launcher overlay. Right click the
+
button on the tab bar or bind a key toShowLauncher
to activate it. It allows spawning tabs in various domains as well as attaching multiplexer sessions that were not connected automatically at startup. - Windows: we now support mouse reporting on Windows native ptys. For this to
work,
conpty.dll
andOpenConsole.exe
must be present alongsidewezterm.exe
when starting wezterm. - Added
initial_rows
andinitial_cols
config options to set the starting size of new terminal windows - Added
hide_tab_bar_if_only_one_tab = true
config option to hide the tab bar when the window contains only a single tab. - Added
HideApplication
key action (defaults toCMD-H
on macOS only) which hides the wezterm application. This is macOS specific. - Added
QuitApplication
key action which causes the gui loop to terminate and the application to exit. This is not bound by default, but you may choose to assign it to something likeCMD-Q
. - Added
set_environment_variables
configuration section to allow defining some environment variables to be passed to your shell. - Improved connectivity UI that shows ssh and mux connection progress/status
- Fixed a bug where the baud rate was not applied when opening a serial port
- Added predictive local echo to the multiplexer for higher latency connections
- We now grey out the UI for lagging multiplexer connections
- Set an upper bound on the memory usage for multiplexer connections
20200202-181957-765184e5
- Improved font shaping performance 2-3x by adding a shaper cache
- Windows: now has support for TLS based multiplexer connections
- Multiplexer: TLS multiplexer can now be bootstrapped via SSH, and automatically manages certificates
- Unix: We now default to spawning shells with the
-l
argument to request a login shell. This is important on macOS where the default GUI environment doesn't source a working PATH from the shell, resulting in an anemic PATH unless the user has taken care to cover this in their shell startup.-l
works to enable a login shell inzsh
,bash
,fish
andtcsh
. If it doesn't work with your shell, you can use thedefault_prog
configuration option to override this. - We now accept
rgb:XX/XX/XX
color syntax for OSC 4 and related escape sequences; previously only#XXXXXX
and named colors were accepted. - We now accept OSC 104 to reset custom colors to their defaults.
- Added Tab Navigator overlay for folks that hoard tabs; it presents
an interactive UI for selecting and activating a tab from a vertically
oriented list. This is bound to
Alt-9
by default. - Added support for DEC Origin Mode (
DECOM
) which improves cursor positioning with some applications - Added support for DEC AutoWrap Mode (
DECAWM
) which was previously always on. This improves rendering for applications that explicitly disable it. - We now show a connection status window while establishing MUX and SSH connections. The status window is also where any interactive authentication is carried out for eg: SSH sessions.
- Improved SSH authentication handling; we now give you a few opportunities to authenticate and are now able to successfully authenticate with sites that have configured 2-Factor authentication in their server side SSH configuration.
- Fixed an issue where SHIFT-Space would swallow the space key.
- Nightly builds are now available for Linux in AppImage format.
- Shift+Left Mouse button can now be used to extend the selection to the clicked location. This is particularly helpful when you want to select something that is larger than the viewport.
- Windows: a single mouse wheel tick now scrolls by the number of positions configured in the Windows system settings (default 3)
- Windows: fixed IME position when the tab bar is enabled
- Windows: removed support for WinPty, which was too difficult to obtain, configure and use.
- Configuration errors now show in a separate window on startup, or when the configuration is reloaded
- Improved reliability and performance of MUX sessions, although they still have room for further improvement
20200113-214446-bb6251f
- Added
color_scheme
configuration option and more than 200 color schemes - Improved resize behavior; lines that were split due to the width of the terminal are now rewrapped on resize. Issue 14
- Double-click and triple-click and hold followed by a drag now extends the selection by word and line respectively.
- The OSC 7 (CurrentWorkingDirectory) escape sequence is now supported; wezterm records the cwd in a tab and that will be used to set the working directory when spawning new tabs in the same domain. You will need to configure your shell to emit OSC 7 when appropriate.
- Changed Backspace/Delete handling
- Added
MoveTabRelative
for changing the ordering of tabs within a window using key assignmentsCTRL+SHIFT+PageUp
andCTRL+SHIFT+PageDown
- The multiplexer protocol is undergoing major changes. The multiplexer will now raise an error if the client and server are incompatible.
- Fixed an issue where wezterm would linger for a few seconds after the last tab was closed
- Fixed an issue where wezterm wouldn't repaint the screen after a tab was closed
- Clicking the OS window close button in the titlebar now closes the window rather than the active tab
- Added
use_ime
option to optionally disable the use of the IME on macOS. You might consider enabling this if you don't like the way that the IME swallows key repeats for some keys. - Fix an issue where the pidfile would leak into child processes and block restarting the mux server
- Fix an issue where the title bars of remote tabs were not picked up at domain attach time
- Fixed selection and scrollbar position for multiplexer tabs
- Added
ScrollByPage
key assignment and moved theSHIFT+PageUp
handling up to the gui layer so that it can be rebound. - X11: a single mouse wheel tick now scrolls by 5 rows rather than 1
- Wayland: normalize line endings to unix line endings when pasting
- Windows: fixed handling of focus related messages, which impacted both the appearance of the text cursor and copy and paste handling.
- When hovering over implicitly hyperlinked items, we no longer show the underline for every other URL with the same destination
20191229-193639-e7aa2f3
- Fixed a hang when using middle mouse button to paste
- Recognize 8-bit C1 codes encoded as UTF-8, which are used in the Fedora 31 bash prexec notification for gnome terminal
- Ensure that underlines are a minimum of 1 pixel tall
- Reduced CPU utilization on some Wayland compositors
- Added
$WEZTERM_CONFIG_FILE
to the start of the config file search path - Added new font rendering options:
font_antialias = "Subpixel" # None, Greyscale, Subpixel
font_hinting = "Full" # None, Vertical, VerticalSubpixel, Full
- Early startup errors now generate a "toast" notification, giving you more of a clue about what went wrong
- We now use the default configuration if the config file had errors, rather than refusing to start
- Wayland compositors: Improved detection of display scaling on startup
- Added
harfbuzz_features
option to specify stylistic sets for fonts such as Fira Code, and to control various typographical options - Added a
window_padding
config section to add padding to the window display - We now respect DECSCUSR and DECTCEM escape sequence to select between hidden, block, underline and bar cursor types, as well as blinking cursors. New configuration options have been added to control the appearance and blink rate.
- We now support an optional basic scroll bar. The scroll bar occupies the right window padding and has a configurable color. Scroll bars are not yet supported for multiplexer connections and remain disabled by default for the moment.
- Color scheme changes made in the config file now take effect at config reload time for all tabs that have not applied a dynamic color scheme.
20191218-101156-bf35707
- Configuration errors detected during config loading are now shown as a system notification
- New
font_dirs
configuration option to specify a set of dirs to search for fonts. Useful for self-contained wezterm deployments. - The
font_system
option has been split intofont_locator
,font_shaper
andfont_rasterizer
options. - Don't allow child processes to inherit open font files on posix systems!
- Disable Nagle's algorithm for
wezterm ssh
sessions - Add native Wayland window system support
20191124-233250-cb9fd7d
- New tab bar UI displays tabs and allows creating new tabs
- Configuration file changes are hot reloaded and take effect automatically on save
wezterm ssh user@host
for ad-hoc SSH sessions. You may also define SSH multiplexer sessions.wezterm serial /dev/ttyUSB0
to connect to your Arduinowezterm imgcat /some/image.png
to display images inline in the terminal using the iTerm2 image protocol- IME support on macOS and Windows systems
- Automatic fallback to software rendering if no GPU is available (eg: certain types of remote desktop sessions)
