changelog
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.
Changed
- Wayland: currently being reimplemented, it maybe more unstable than usual. Please file GH issues for any problems you see. Many thanks to @tzx! #4777
- show_update_window has been deprecated; it no longer has any effect and will be removed in a future release.
- X11: drag and drop is now supported for files, URLs and text. Thanks to @ssiegel! #5316 #640
- Added Unicode Symbols for Legacy Computing to the set of pixel-perfect block drawing glyphs. See custom_block_glyphs for more details. Thanks to @stribor14! #5051 #5169
New
- wezterm.serde module for serialization and deserialization of JSON, TOML and YAML. Thanks to @expnn! #4969
wezterm ssh
now supports agent forwarding. Thanks to @Riatre! #5345- SSH multiplexer domains now support agent forwarding, and will automatically
maintain
SSH_AUTH_SOCK
to an appropriate value on the destination host, depending on the value of the new mux_enable_ssh_agent option. ?988 #1647 - default_ssh_auth_sock option
to manage
SSH_AUTH_SOCK
.
Fixed
- Race condition when very quickly adjusting font scale, and other improvements around resizing. Thanks to @jknockel! #4876 #5032 #5033
- macOS: wacky initial window size with external monitors or certain font sizes. #4966 #4250
- macOS: dragging non-filename data over wezterm could cause it to crash. #4771
- New tabs spawned by the gui could spawn into the wrong domain when using
multiplexing together
default_domain
. Thanks to @bogdan2412! #4994 - Linux: the
divine_process_list
fallback function used the vmwisze rather than the intended starttime field to decide which process was the youngest. Thanks to @crides! #5001 - Wayland: fixed startup on Hyprland >= 0.37.0. Thanks to @fioncat! #5264 #5103
- Wayland: updated to SCTK 0.18. Thanks to @deviant! #5276 #5154 #5079 #5071 #4604 #5209
- Windows: Window buttons stopped working when using
win32_system_backdrop
. Thanks to @Kushagra2569! #5362 #5348 wezterm cli activate-pane
now respectsunzoom_on_switch_pane
. Thanks to @quantonganh! #5306 #5305- wezterm-ssh now correctly handles two-phase processing of
%h
tokens. Thanks to @emc2314 and @wheatdog! #5163 #4503 - We now respect line wrapping in alt-screen mode. Thanks to @eternity74! #5396 #3283
- Wayland: hang when launched under ChromeOS Crostini. Thanks to @dberlin! #5393 #5397
- macOS: Fixed notch avoidance padding in full screen mode. Thanks to @mbaird! #5515 #3807
Updated
- Bundled conpty.dll and OpenConsole.exe to build 1.19.240130002.nupkg
- Bundled harfbuzz to 8.4.0
- image crate to 0.25, which means that JPEG images are now decoded via zune-jpeg, which improves handling of non-conforming jpeg images. #5365
- Color schemes: Blue Dolphin (Gogh), Butrin (Gogh), CutiePro, Ef-Dream, Ef-Reverie, Eldritch, Everforest Dark Hard (Gogh), Everforest Dark Medium (Gogh), Everforest Dark Soft (Gogh), Everforest Light Hard (Gogh), Everforest Light Medium (Gogh), Everforest Light Soft (Gogh), Github Light (Gogh), Kanagawa Dragon (Gogh), Mellifluous, Miramare (Gogh), Modus Operandi (Gogh), Modus Operandi Tinted (Gogh), Modus Vivendi (Gogh), Modus Vivendi Tinted (Gogh), NvimDark, NvimLight, Quiet (Gogh), Selenized Black (Gogh), Selenized White (Gogh), Seoul256 (Gogh), Seoul256 Light (Gogh), Sparky (Gogh)
20240203-110809-5046fc22
Changed
- The default for
freetype_load_flags is now
NO_HINTING
when the dpi is >= 100, otherwiseDEFAULT
. #4902 wezterm -e
will now wait for the spawned program to terminate before it will itself terminate. Thanks to @vimpostor! #4535 #4523- Reverted the text cursor cell dimension change due to overwhelming and sometimes toxic feedback. #2882
New
- We now show the Lua version in the debug overlay. Thanks to @bbkane! #4943
wezterm start --new-tab
andwezterm connect --new-tab
to request a new tab rather than a new window when spawning via an existing GUI instance. The new prefer_to_spawn_tabs option allows you to make this happen by default. ?4854 ?4946
Fixed
- It was not possible to specify
freetype_load_flags = 'DEFAULT'
. #4902 - macOS: fallback fonts could select thin or otherwise unspecified font attributes. #4808
- Changing the palette via escape sequences didn't invalidate caches correctly, so those escapes sequences wouldn't take effect. #4932 #2635
- Unix: spawning a command using a relative path, with the cwd set to a directory that contains a directory with the same name as the relative path to the command would fail with an obscure error message. #4920
- x11: incorrect handling of the space key when
grp:win_space_toggle
was enabled viasetxkbmap
. #4910 wezterm set-working-directory
andwezterm imgcat
didn't correctly apply tmux passthrough escape encoding. #4940- Tab bar wouldn't immediately reflect the result of calling
tab:set_title
. #4941 - Command Palette: Missing space between keycaps on macOS. #4885
- macOS: stale/invalid cwd used when spawning new panes when shell integration is NOT in use. #4811
- Command Palette: would show default key assignments next to actions even
if
disable_default_key_bindings
was configured. #4724
20240128-202157-1e552d76
Changed
- The default for front_end is again
OpenGL
. - The default for
freetype_load_flags is now
NO_HINTING
. #4874
Fixed
- macOS: System LastResort font would be taken in preference to other fonts in some cases when trying to find the fallback for bold fonts. #4877
- The fancy tab bar could take a few moments to update after closing a tab. #4880
- Kitty Image Protocol: fixed numerous issues. Thanks to @jonboh! #1156 #1663 #2084 #2422 #2761 #3918 #4233 #4847
20240127-113634-bbcac864
Changed
- The default for front_end is now
WebGpu
. - The return type of pane.get_current_working_dir and PaneInformation.current_working_dir has changed to the new Url object, which makes it easier to handle things like percent-encoding for paths with spaces or non-ASCII characters. Please see the revised example on set_right_status for example usage with backwards compatibility in mind. #4000
- Added split out github short codes from the various charselect sections into their own new Short Codes section.
- CharSelect now shows emoji variations such as skin tones
- Improved fuzzy matching performance in CharSelect
- PaneSelect new modes
MoveToNewTab
,MoveToNewWindow
, andSwapWithActiveKeepFocus
, as well asshow_pane_ids=true
to show the pane ids. #4147 #3014 - Nightly
.deb
packages are now namedwezterm-nightly
rather thanwezterm
, and are set to conflict withwezterm
. - Allow
window_frame
colors now allow specifying the alpha channel value, which enables transparent fancy tab bar backgrounds. ?4816 #3580 ?4311
New
- wezterm imgcat now has
--position
,--no-move-cursor
and--hold
options. #3716 - wezterm set-working-directory will now wrap
its OSC 7 escape sequence in the tmux passthru sequence when necessary. This can be
controlled via new
--tmux-passthru
option. - wezterm imgcat will now wrap the image transfer OSC escape
sequences in the tmux passthru sequence when necessary. This can be
controlled via new
--tmux-passthru
option. Note that tmux doesn't natively understand these sequences, and tmux will wipe out the image when it redraws the screen as part of scrolling back through its history. imgcat support in tmux is very basic effort - wezterm imgcat will compensate for tmux and conpty, which
do not natively understand image protocols, and adjust the cursor position
in order to avoid the shell/prompt from mangling the image after it is printing.
Support for this has limitations and will not take effect when the new
--position
argument is used. #3624 - wezterm imgcat will now resample very large images in order to increase the chances of successfully displaying an arbitrary image. In addition, there are now a number of options for explicitly resizing as a preprocessing step, and controlling the filtering and format used by the resizing, along with showing diagnostics around the resize operation. #3264
- Color schemes: Aardvark Blue, alacritty, Apple System Colors, Bamboo Light, Campbell (Gogh), Ef-Arbutus, Ef-Cyprus, Ef-Day, Ef-Deuteranopia-Dark, Ef-Deuteranopia-Light, Ef-Duo-Dark, Ef-Duo-Light, Ef-Elea-Dark, Ef-Elea-Light, Ef-Frost, Ef-Kassio, Ef-Light, Ef-Maris-Dark, Ef-Maris-Light, Ef-Melissa-Dark, Ef-Melissa-Light, Ef-Night, Ef-Rosa, Ef-Symbiosis, farmhouse-dark, farmhouse-light, Firefly Traditional, flexoki-dark, flexoki-light, Github Dark (Gogh), iTerm2 Dark Background, iTerm2 Default, iTerm2 Light Background, iTerm2 Pastel Dark Background, iTerm2 Smoooooth, iTerm2 Tango Dark, iTerm2 Tango Light, Modus-Operandi-Deuteranopia, Modus-Operandi-Tinted, Modus-Vivendi-Deuteranopia, Modus-Vivendi-Tinted, Modus-Vivendi-Tritanopia, Moonfly (Gogh), Nightfly (Gogh), Oxocarbon Dark (Gogh), Rosé Pine Moon (base16), Selenized Dark (Gogh), Selenized Light (Gogh), Website (Gogh)
- Preliminary support for rasterizing fonts with COLR v1 glyphs, such as more recent versions of Noto Color Emoji. #4148
- wezterm cli zoom-pane. Thanks to @quantonganh! #4160
- InputSelector has been enhanced to allow setting an alphabet for quickly launching items beyond the first 10 items, as well as customizing the description/label text. Thanks to @Danielkonge! #4226 #4227
- notification_handling to control whether notifications are suppressed based on focus. #3727
- command_palette_rows to control how many rows are displayed in the command palette. Thanks to @exastone! #4595
- ToggleAlwaysOnTop, ToggleAlwaysOnBottom and SetWindowLevel key assignments for manipulating the window level. These are currently implemented only on macOS. Thanks to @rawnly! #4567
- Double click on the tab bar to toggle maximize/normal state. Thanks to @junnplus! #3698 #3699
- freetype_load_target and
freetype_render_target can now
be set to
VerticalLcd
for vertically decimated LCD displays. Thanks to @xiaopengli89! #4426 - Pressing
CTRL-[
in the launcher menu will close it. #4722 - pane:get_lines_as_escapes() to retrieve text + style/formatting. #4780
Fixed
- Command Palette was using now-invalid Nerd Font 2.0 symbols for macOS keyboard shortcuts. #3988
- Windows: couldn't use shifted keys like
(
in the Debug Overlay. #3999 - X11: fd leak on each call to wezterm.gui.enumerate_gpus. #3612
- Charselect and repl recency/history were not persisted across restarts. #4047 ?4019
- macOS: system font fallback didn't always find a workable fallback font. #4099 #849
- F13-F24 keys are now supported. Thanks to @ovidiu-ionescu! #3937
- Strikethrough position was not centered when setting
line_height
#4196 - Text cursor filled the scaled-by
line_height
andcell_width
dimensions rather than the native font dimensions and looked weird when either config option was not set to1.0
. #2882 - Using
CloseCurrentPane
could sometimes leave a stranded pane in a tab. #4030 - Wayland: wezterm wouldn't start on Plasma 6 or newer versions of sway. Thanks to @hexchain! #3996 #4322.
- font-config: when resolving a fallback font for a text cluster like
U+3065,U+2686
where no single font contains both glyphs, wezterm would fail to show a glyph for either codepoint. We now split the fallback query up and query for each individual codepoint separately. #4310 - Gogh color schemes all had the incorrect cursor foreground color. #4257
- Windows: crash on Windows 11 when using DX 12 with the WebGpu frontend. #4279
- macOS: Leak of NSWindow and NSView objects. Thanks to @0f-0b! #4457

- Correct
SUPER
modifier key handling in kitty protocol. Thanks to @gabyx! #4605 - macOS: honor the
window_close_confirmation
config option when quitting the application. Thanks to @quantonganh! #4420 #4362 - terminfo: added missing terminator to Sync capability. Thanks to @gpanders! #4578
- bracketed paste escape sequences are now always stripped out of text that is pasted into the terminal. This happens even if bracketed paste mode is disabled. #4765
- Sixel parser ignores P2 parameter if P1 is blank. Thanks to @joouha! #4730
- X11: synthesize raw modifiers to resolve some issues with synthetic/injected key press events experienced by Espanso. Thanks to @bew! #4151 #3840
freetype_load_target
had no effect. Thanks to @dkoukola! #4775 #4770- Incorrect sunset / sunrise progression. Thanks to @mikyk10! #4809 #4810
- retro tab bar indented too far on macOS when using integrated titlebar buttons. Thanks to @0xdead10cd! #4505

20230712-072601-f4abf8fd
Changed
- The default for adjust_window_size_when_changing_font_size now depends on the window environment and the contents of tiling_desktop_environments.
- Added eigth block corner glyphs to custom block glyphs. Thanks to @joouha! #3559
- Don't hide mouse cursor when pressing only modifier keys. #3570
- PaneSelect will now un-zoom to show all panes, then re-zoom after performing its action. #3573
- Images, especially animated images, are now decoded in the background. When used as a background layer for the terminal, we now use the normal terminal background color as a placeholder until the first frame has been decoded. In other circumstances, you may observe a brief black frame while waiting for the image to decode.
- You may now use CTRL-J/K to change the selection in the launcher menu, in addition to CTRL-N/P which always worked previously. #3909
- Duplicate entries in CharSelect are now suppressed, making it less cluttered. Thanks to @vimpostor! #3674
New
- window:keyboard_modifiers #3444
- win32_system_backdrop. Thanks to @kingavatar! #3528 #1614
- wezterm cli adjust-pane-size. Thanks to @mrjones2014! #3471 #3491
- augment-command-palette event for adding entries to the command palette without assigning keyboard shortcuts. #3595
- char_select_bg_color and char_select_fg_color options to customize the appearance of CharSelect mode. Thanks to @junnplus! #3703
- Horizontal mouse wheel events are now passed through to the terminal. Thanks to @calops! #3856
- exit_behavior_messaging option to control output when holding a pane open after a process completes. #3423
- default_mux_server_domain for the (almost!) equivalent to default_domain in the context of the mux server.
Fixed
- Modals, such as
CharSelect
andCommandPalette
did not respect alternative OS-level key maps. #3470 - X11/Wayland: CTRL-key presses for non-US latin keymaps regressed due to changes to improve handling of CTRL-key presses for non-latin layouts. #3610
- Numerous issues with the kitty keyboard protocol implementation #2546 #3220 #3315 #3473 #3474 #3476 #3478 #3479 #3484 #3526
- mux: Attempting to spawn into an ad-hoc SSH domain after the last tab could fail with a cryptic error message. The connection is now re-established. ?3480
- Laggy behavior when processing a continual stream of output, for example,
serial data received at a rate of 1 byte just slightly faster than
mux_output_parser_coalesce_delay_ms
(3ms
by default). Thanks to @pcc! #3497 #3466 #837. user-var-changed
event would incorrectly trigger for every GUI window, rather than just the GUI window which contained the pane in which the variable was changed. #3524- PNG images without an alpha channel, or that were grayscale, could not be displayed by in the terminal. #3529 #3742
- tab width calculation when returning a string with embedded escape
sequences from a
format-tab-title
event handler. #3481 - Windows: clicking the maximize button didn't work unless using integrated titlebar buttons. #3499
- Windows: closing a window while the debug overlay was active could leave a lingering wezterm-gui.exe running. #3522
- Windows: inconsistencies with win32 input mode. Thanks to @kreudom! #2235
- macOS: font size is zoomed or window appears empty when first launched on a secondary monitor with different scaling settings from the primary monitor. #3503
- X11/Wayland: CTRL/ALT didn't work as expected for non-latin keyboard layouts. #2845
- X11: panic after a lot of horizontal touchpad scrolling. #3564
- Wayland: mouse cursor wouldn't reappear after keyboard input hides it. #3334
- WebGPU:
window_background_opacity
was not always enabled when using a vulkan backend. #3589 - macOS: hang or crash when trying to copy or right click the about dialog. The about dialog has been replaced with a menu item that you can click to copy the version number. #3507 #3585
- Synthesized italics were double-skewed. Thanks to @rozbb! #3613 #3555
- Panic when using corrupt/invalid webp images as window background #3614
- imgcat broken when using
wezterm ssh
. #3624 - macOS: pasting file(s) will now paste the quoted full path(s) rather than just the basename of the path. Thanks to @junnplus! #3663 #3665
- WebGpu: don't panic when trying to allocate a texture larger than is supported by the GPU. #3713
CopyMode("EditPattern")
didn't switch the key table tosearch_mode
#3746.- Windows: access denied error when using
wezterm.plugin.require
. Thanks to @nyxkrage! #3767 - Windows: when shell integration was used, the last line of output could get overwritten due to a conpty issue. #3531
- Changing the color palette back to the default without resetting the terminal
would prevent changes to
color_scheme
from taking effect. #3685 - ClearToEndOfLine performed in the last column of the display, when it is prepped to wrap to the next line, would incorrectly clear the last cell. #3548
- WEZTERM_UNIX_SOCKET didn't get set when using
wezterm start -- something
. #3679 - Pasting large amounts of text in helix caused issues. #3683
- Wayland: Copying to clipboard was not always successful when triggered by the keyboard. Thanks to @osandov! #3929
wezterm ssh
connection errors were not shown; the window would close immediately with the defaultexit_behavior
setting. Now ssh sessions overrideexit_behavior="CloseOnCleanExit"
while connecting so that error information can be displayed. #3941- Divide by zero panic with lots of splits and resizing panes. #3921
- Spawn failures were not shown; the window would close immediately
with the default
exit_behavior
setting. Now local commands overrideexit_behavior="CloseOnCleanExit"
if the command fails to spawn, and a more detailed error message is shown explaining what failed. #3928 #3950 - macOS: middle mouse button dragging. Thanks to @JacobMalloy! #3908
- Attempting to spawn a non-local domain via the mux server would fail with invalid domain because none of the additional domains from your config were registered with the mux server. #3907

20230408-112425-69ae8472
Changed
- macOS: Japanese IME users: CTRL-modified keys are no long routed to the IME by default, as it introduced problems with CTRL-key combinations for other users. A new macos_forward_to_ime_modifier_mask option has been introduced to allow you to control which modifier keys get routed to the IME, so that you can opt back in to that behavior. #2630 #2771 #2435
- Multiplexer client can now send the locally configured color palette to the mux server, which makes it more straightforward to configure color schemes when using multiplexing.
- Multiplexer: closing a window that has any mux client panes will now detach the associated domain(s) on close. Previous behavior was to treat just the panes in the window as detached without actually detaching the whole domain, which would cause the window to recycle and activate a different workspace. With a definitive detach, the window will close and wezterm will terminate if the only panes were associated with that domain, which is what most users expect. #2644
- quick_select_patterns and hyperlink_rules now support backreferences and look around assertions. #3247
- wezterm replay new options
--explain-only
,--cat
. #3446
New
- PromptInputLine action for prompting the user for a line of text and then doing something with it. Can be used to prompt for (re)naming new or existing tabs, workspaces and so on.
- InputSelector action for prompting the user to select an item from a list and then doing something with it.
- pane:activate() and tab:activate(). #3217
- ulimit_nofile and ulimint_nproc options. ?3353
- serial_ports for more convenient access to serial ports
ssh_domains
now auto-populate from your~/.ssh/config
file. You can use wezterm.default_ssh_domains() to obtain that same information and amend/extend it.- display_pixel_geometry to specify subpixel antialiasing geometry. ?3422
- Integrated title and tab bar. See also window_decorations, integrated_title_button_style, integrated_title_buttons, integrated_title_button_alignment integrated_title_button_color and, if you are using the retro tab bar, tab_bar_style. Thanks to @yuraiz for getting things moving! #2722 #1180
- Lua: gui_window:active_tab(), gui_window:active_pane() (surprise! this was already there, just undocumented!), mux_window:active_tab(), mux_window:active_pane(), tab:active_pane() methods for conveniently getting at the active tab/pane from a window/tab.
- wezterm cli set-tab-title and wezterm cli set-window-title. #522 #1598
- wezterm cli rename-workspace. #2787
- wezterm.mux.rename_workspace. #2787
- wezterm cli get-pane-direction
- pane:get_tty_name() and PaneInformation.tty_name to reason about the tty name on local unix systems.
- wezterm.has_action() makes it easier to author a wezterm config that works across different wezterm versions. #3454
- Color schemes: Ef-Autumn, Ef-Bio, Ef-Cherie, Ef-Dark, Ef-Spring, Ef-Summer, Ef-Trio-Dark, Ef-Trio-Light, Ef-Tritanopia-Dark, Ef-Winter, Gruvbox Material (Gogh), Modus-Operandi, Modus-Vivendi
Fixed
- mux: Stale remote window mapping could prevent spawning new tabs in remote domain. #2759
- mux: Splitting then killing a pane could result in incorrect pane sizes. #3386
- Windows: "error converting Lua string to &str" on systems with an ACP that was not compatible with UTF-8 when wezterm was placed in a directory with a non UTF-8, non-ASCII name. #3390
- mux:
--config
related command line options passed towezterm-mux-server
were not propagated when using--daemonize
. #3397 #2686 - mux: server would lock and then unlock the pid/lock file when it re-executed, rendering it useless.
tab:panes_with_info()
reported incorrectis_zoomed
value. #3404- window:perform_action() now awaits the dispatch of the key assignment action, making it less racy to script multiple actions in a row. Note that clipboard operations are still asynchronous with respect to the dispatch of the assignment. #3405
- window:perform_action() now correctly resolves overlay panes such as Copy Mode. #3209
- macOS: CTRL-Q had to be pressed twice to register when
use_ime=true
. #2630 - mux: tab:set_title() didn't get passed to the remote server, so any tab title changes were lost when reconnecting. #1598
wezterm connect --workspace WS DOM
didn't use the provided workspace when starting up the mux server. #2734- mux:
ClearScrollback
was not forwarded to remote server. #2624 - ssh:
%r
%h
and%p
tokens were implicitly supported by libssh but stopped working inProxyCommand
when we took over running the proxy command. #3437 - mux: Improved latency for large window sizes. #1872
- mux: pane:has_unseen_output() and PaneInformation.has_unseen_output now work with multiplexer panes. #2625
- mux: attempting to split a remote pane into a different target domain could produce a warning about the remote home directory not being readable to the local machine or vice versa. #3442
wezterm.config_builder
now works withtable.insert(config.keys, {..})
- mux:
wezterm cli activate-pane-direction
inconsistent behavior with remote mux. #3387 #3448 - quick_select_patterns didn't take precedence over built-in rules. #3456
- Painted pane background color behind the tab bar when there was only one pane. Matters when the tab bar is transparent! #3450
- Wayland: window not repainting consistently when using the keyboard when
using
front_end="WebGpu"
. Thanks to @jokeyrhyme for working through different iterations of this fix! #3126 - Windows: reloading the config could partially knock the window out of full screen mode. #3439
20230326-111934-3666303c
New
- mouse_wheel_scrolls_tabs option to control whether the mouse wheel can be used to activate tabs when hovering over the tab bar. Thanks to @eaglgenes101! #3227
- wezterm cli kill-pane, wezterm cli activate-pane and wezterm cli activate-tab #3352 #886
- macOS: macos_window_background_blur enables a nice translucent window effect. Thanks to @Gkirito! #3344
- new-tab-button-click event allows overriding the effect of clicking the New Tab button. #323
- pane:move_to_new_window(), pane:move_to_new_tab(). #3374
Fixed
- ssh ProxyCommand didn't parse command lines containing
=
correctly. #3307 wezterm.GLOBALS.foo
now supports__len
and__pairs
metamethods, as well as being passed towezterm.json_encode
wezterm --skip-config
resulted in anunexpected argument
error, whilewezterm -n
still worked as intended. #3325- Using
RESIZE|MACOS_FORCE_DISABLE_SHADOW
orRESIZE|MACOS_FORCE_ENABLE_SHADOW
would cause a spooky titlebar to appear. Thanks to @noefroidevaux! #3330 - ConPTY: logical line wrapping falsely joining long runs of output from classic windows console subsystem programs. The behavior now is to only mark long lines as wrapped if the last character on the prior line is alphanumeric or ascii punctuation. Other characters will cause the logical line to break. #3278 #3177
wezterm cli activate-pane-direction
didn't cause the gui to repaint, making it difficult to notice that the active pane had changed. Thanks to @ir-ae! #3303 #2879 #3323window_frame.border_XXX
not correctly accounted for when initially sizing the window, or when applying font scaling to a window. #3333RIS
escape sequence (andResetTerminal
action) didn't disable mouse event reporting.- Unblock all signals when spawning programs, to avoid strangess when the parent of the wezterm process spawns wezterm with an unusual signal mask.
- Lingering openconsole.exe processes on Windows. Thanks to @mbikovitsky! #3339
- macos: command line parameters beyond the first were treated as terminal command scripts and opened spurious windows. #3340
- imgcat broken with multiplexer protocol #3343
wezterm cli activate-pane-direction
would not cause the focus to change in the GUI when explicitly using multiplexing domains. #2863- macOS: update entitlements so that macOS will prompt the user when they spawn an app that wants to use the microphone and other resources. #3359
- Command palette didn't show command label or arguments for entries constructed from your key assignments, making it difficult to distinguish them from each other. #3252
- macOS: key assignments that were routed via the macOS menubar didn't guarantee to invalidate the associated window, making it look like they had no effect or hung. #3365
CTRL-SHIFT-R
assignment inCharSelect
mode didn't cycle back through the emoji categories as intended, but performed the globalReloadConfiguration
action instead. #2947- mux: resizing the window larger, then spawning a tab, would result in the new tab having pixel dimensions of 0 and prevent imgcat from functioning until the tab was explicitly resized. #3366
- mux: initial attach and spawn would leave the dpi at the assumed dpi resulting in incorrect image scaling for imgcat. #3366
- mux:
wezterm cli move-pane-to-new-tab
didn't resync new window structure and would appear to have had no effect until you detached and re-attached. #3219 - mux:
wezterm cli move-pane-to-new-tab
didn't forward the structural change to a remote mux, so if you ran it against the mux in your GUI, the state on the actual mux server was not updated. #3374
Updated
- Bundled JetBrainsMono to 2.304. #3362
20230320-124340-559cb7b0

now supports%l
and%L
tokens in config files. #3176- hyperlink_rules now support specifying which capture group should be highlighted.
- wezterm.default_hyperlink_rules function makes it easier to extend the default set of hyperlink rules.
Fixed
- X11: hanging or killing the IME could hang wezterm #2819
wezterm ssh
now respects theAddressFamily
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.
- lag when making heavy use of foreground process information in tab titles. #2991
- X11: always update selection owner even if our window already owns it #2926
- command output would not be displayed if the command exited almost immediately after starting up.
- Windows: ALT key was not recognized when processing mouse events. Thanks to @mbikovitsky! #3053
- Copy Mode: MoveForwardWord not always moving to next line. thanks to @GZLiew! #2955
- Wayland: fixup hidpi scaling when
front_end="WebGpu"
. Thanks to @valpackett! #2877 - Reloading the config while a pane was zoomed could result in visual artifacts #3068
- SSH: Closing an individual pane via
CloseCurrentPane
would kill the remote pane but not detect that it had exited. #3095 - Panic when decoding animated webp images #3250
- Config was not applied to non-zoomed panes when config was reloaded #3259
- Default hyperlink_rules now match URLs with port numbers #928
- Incorrect cursor position after processing iTerm2 image escape sequence #3266
- Images are now buffered to temporary files and decoded in background threads. This reduces the RAM overhead especially of long animations and reduces the render latency due to decoding frames; animations now render as soon as the first frame is decoded. #3263
- Improved compatiblity with the Kitty Image Protocol #2716
- wezterm.time.call_after would not work when used in an event callback. #3026
- Hover state not correctly indicated for retro tab bar when showing at the bottom of the window #3113
Changed
CTRL-SHIFT-P
now activates the new command palette, instead ofPaneSelect
#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
now supports
"BrightOnly"
to use the bright color without selecting a bold font. #2932 - Color schemes:
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

- wezterm.mux.spawn_window and SpawnCommandInNewWindow now accept a position field to control initial gui window position. #2976
- X11/Wayland: Mouse based selection once again copies to both the clipboard and the primary selection. This was the original intended behavior but a regression in an earlier release changed it by accident and it's been annoying me ever since. You are welcome to define your own mouse bindings if you want to change that behavior.
- WSL Domains returned from
wezterm.default_wsl_domains now
set
default_cwd="~"

Fixed
- Wayland: key repeat gets stuck after pressing two keys in quick succession. Thanks to @valpackett! #2492 #2452
- If the underline attribute was active and CRLF scrolled a new line into the bottom of the display, we'd fill that new line with underlines. #2489
- Correctly invalidate the display when using
wezterm.action.ClearScrollback("ScrollbackAndViewport")
#2498 - Hyperlinks didn't underline on hover #2496
- base16 color schemes cursor fg/bg were the same. We now also set the indexed colors. Thanks to @valpackett! #2491

- CharSelect panic when pressing enter when no matches were found #2580
- Panic when setting
initial_rows
orinitial_cols
to0
#2593 - X11: Crash on systems using DRI2 based Intel graphics #2559
- Missing validation of conflicting domain names #2618
- Creating tabs in a multiplexing domain could fail after previously closing all tabs connected to that domain in that window #2614
- CharSelect now uppercases hex digit input for better compatibility with
QMK-based keyboards that send eg:
CTRL-SHIFT-U e 1 <ENTER>
. #2581 - Multiple active multiplexer client domain connections could result in showing duplicate tabs in a window #2616

_NET_WM_MOVERESIZE
to drag by tab bar, when supported by the WM #2530 tab:panes()
andtab:panes_with_info()
now return the full list of panes in the tab regardless of whether a pane was zoomed. Previously, if a pane was zoomed, only that pane would be returned by those methods.- macOS: CTRL-modified keys are now routed to the IME #2435
- multiplexer: The lag indicator that gets overlaid on the pane content
when waiting a long time for a response now defaults to disabled. It is
recommended that you put it into your status
bar, but you may re-enable the old way
using

detect_password_input=false
to disable this. #2460
Changed
colors
now override colors from your selectedcolor_scheme
. Previously,color_scheme
was mutually exclusive withcolors
and always took precedence. The new behavior is more in line with what most people expect.- Reduced CPU utilization for busy/large screen updates, blinking cursor and other easing animations
- ActivatePaneDirection now uses recency to resolve ambiguous moves #2374
- update-status is a more general event for updating left or right status.
update-right-status
is considered to be deprecated in favor ofupdate-status
. - Cache XDG Portal Appearance values. Thanks to @vimposter! #2402
- Compensate for TUI programs that flicker due to unsynchronized output by adding up to 3ms additional latency after each read to coalesce their screen outputs into a single frame. You can set this delay via a new
mux_output_parser_coalesce_delay_ms
option. #2443 - win32: Updated openconsole/conpty to v1.14.2281.0
Fixed

- Internal scrollback datastructure improvements reduce per-cell overhead by up to ~40x depending on the composition of the line (lines with lots of varied attributes or image attachments will have more overhead).
- 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,
CSI 48:6
andCSI 58:6
extensions to allow setting full color RGB with Alpha channel for spans of text. - Copy Mode: setting the same selection mode a second time will now toggle off that mode and clear the selection, preserving the current position #2246

. #2197- X11: closing a window when multiple were open could result in an X protocol error that closed all windows #2198
- Config will now automatically reload after error. Previously, you would need to manually reload the config using ReloadConfiguration. #1174
- Config will now automatically reload for changes made to
require
d lua files. Previously, only the main config file and any files that you explicitly passed to add_to_config_reload_watch_list would trigger a reload. - macOS: numeric keypad enter generated CTRL-C instead of enter. Regression of #739. #2204
- Wayland: inconsistent pasting. Thanks to @Funami580! #2225 #2226
- win32 input mode: fixed encoding of backspace and delete keys. Thanks to @kreudom! #2233
- Tab bar could glitch and show incorrect contents when adjusting for monitor or changed font scaling #2208
- Wayland: transparent gap under tab bar when window is transparent, split and using per-pane color schemes #1620
- 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
- Unix: Clicking a URL when no browser is open could cause wezterm to hang until the newly opened browser is closed. #2245
- Quickselect: now selects the bottom-most match rather than the top-most match. #2250
- Mux:
wezterm.mux.set_active_workspace
didn't update the current window to match the newly activated workspace. #2248 - Overlays such as debug and launcher menu now handle resize better
- 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

- AttachDomain and DetachDomain key assignments
- Specifying a domain name in a SpawnCommand will cause that domain to be attached if it is in the detached state. This is useful when combined with SwitchToWorkspace.
- X11: wezterm now sets
_NET_WM_NAME
in addition toWM_NAME
for clients that don't know how to fallback - treat_east_asian_ambiguous_width_as_wide for control over how ambiguous width characters are resolved. #1888

as a selection mode. Thanks to @Funami580 for helping! #1361 - In Copy Mode,
CTRL-v
will enable rectangular block selection mode. #1656 - In Copy Mode,
SHIFT-v
will enable line selection mode. Thanks to @bew! #2086 - In Copy Mode,

option to send text to a pain without wrapping it as a bracketed paste- PaneSelect key assignment to activate the pane selection UI to activate or swap the selected pane. #1842 #1975
- window_background_gradient now also supports
Linear
gradients with an angle of your choice. Thanks to @erf! #2038 - RPM and DEB packages now install zsh and bash
wezterm
CLI completions - Color schemes: arcoiris, duckbones, Grey-green, kanagawabones, Neon, neobones_dark, neobones_light, seoulbones_dark, seoulbones_light, tokyonight-day, tokyonight-storm, tokyonight, vimbones, zenbones, zenbones_dark, zenbones_light, zenburned, zenwritten_dark, zenwritten_light

^
and$
. #2008 - Overriding config using the cli
--config
option will now error out and prevent starting up if unknown config options are specified, or if the value evaluates tonil
. 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"

#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
ALT

in a pane would cause subsequent pane/tab creation to fail until the cwd was changed to an accessible directory #2120- X11: Fixed an issue where some events could get lost around resize events, especially prevalent when using the NVIDIA proprietary drivers. Thanks to @pjones123 and @yuttie for working through this! #1992 #2063 #2111 #1628
- macOS:
SHIFT-Tab
andCTRL-SHIFT-Tab
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

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

wasn't recognized #1804 - fontconfig matches now also treat
"charcell"
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

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

- pane:has_unseen_output() and PaneInformation.has_unseen_output allow coloring or marking up tabs based on unseen output. #796
- Context menu extension for Nautilus. Thanks to @lunaryorn! #1092
- wezterm.enumerate_ssh_hosts() function that can be used to auto-generate ssh domain configuration
Changed

- 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

- 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

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

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

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

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

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

. #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

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.

- macOS:
send_composed_key_when_left_alt_is_pressed
andsend_composed_key_when_right_alt_is_pressed
are now respected whenuse_ime=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
Menlo
font is now implicitly included in the system fallback list, as it is the only font that contains U+2718 ✘ wezterm cli spawn --cwd ..
andwezterm cli split-pane --cwd ..
now resolve relative paths #1243- Incorrect DECRPTUI response to DA3. Thanks to @ninjalj! #1330

ratelimit_output_bytes_per_second
option - Workaround Cocoa leaking window position saved state file descriptors to child processes on macOS Big Sur, and Gnome/Mutter doing something similar under X11
- The 256 color cube now uses slightly brighter colors #348
- New: added
line_height
configuration option to scale the computed cell height. The default is1.0
, resulting in using the font-specified metrics. Setting it to1.2
will result in a 20% larger cell height. - macOS: Fixed an issue where hovering over the split between panes could result in wezterm becoming unresponsive #391
- Closing windows and
QuitApplication
will now prompt for confirmation before proceeding with the close/quit. Addedwindow_close_confirmation
to control this; valid values areAlwaysPrompt
andNeverPrompt
. #280 - Tidied up logging. Previously ERROR level logging was used to make sure that informational things showed up in the stderr stream. Now we use INFO level logging for this to avoid alarming the user. You can set
WEZTERM_LOG=trace
in the environment to get more verbose logging for troubleshooting purposes. - Windows: fix an issue where VNC-server-emulated AltGr was not treated as AltGr #392
- X11: fix an issue where keys that produce unicode characters retained SHIFT as a modifier instead of normalizing it away. #394
- Fixed an issue where a symbol-only font would be seen as 0-width and panic wezterm #404
- Tweaked mouse selection: we now round the x-coordinate to the nearest cell which makes it a bit more forgiving if the mouse cursor is slightly to the left of the intended cell start. #350
- Added
selection_word_boundary
option to control double-click word selection boundaries. The default is \t\n{}[]()"'`. #405 - Added support for Curly, Dotted and Dashed underlines. See this documentation on the escape sequences how enable undercurl support in vim and nvim. #415
- Fixed an issue where wezterm would spawn processes with
umask 077
on unix systems, rather than the more commonly expectedumask 022
. #416 - macOS: We now ship a Universal binary containing both Intel and "Apple Silicon" architectures
- Setting a really large or really small font scale (using CTRL +/-) no longer causes a panic #428
- Fixed an issue where the mouse wheel wasn't mapped to cursor up/down when the alternate screen was active #429
- Fixed
ToggleFullScreen
not working on macOS and X11. It still doesn't function on Windows.native_macos_fullscreen_mode = false
uses a fast full-screen window on macOS. Set it totrue
to use the slower macOS native "Spaces" style fullscreen mode. #177 - Windows: fix an issue where the initial window size didn't factor the correct DPI when the system-wide display scaling was not 100%. #427
- New:
adjust_window_size_when_changing_font_size
option to control whether changing the font size adjusts the dimensions of the window (true) or adjusts the number of terminal rows/columns (false). The default istrue
. #431 - macOS: we no longer use MetalANGLE to render the gui; it was short lived as macOS Big Sur now uses Metal in its CGL implementation. Support for using MetalANGLE is still present if the dylib is found on startup, but we no longer ship the dylib.
- Windows: when pasting text, ensure that the text has CRLF line endings unless bracketed paste is enabled. This imperfect heuristic helps to keep multi-line pastes on multiple lines when using Windows console applications and to avoid interleaved blank lines when using unix applications. #411
- New: ClearScrollback now accepts a parameter to control whether the viewport is cleared along with the scrollback. Thanks to @dfrankland!
- New: default_cwd to specify an alternative current working directory. Thanks to @dfrankland!
- New: CopyTo and PasteFrom actions. Copy, Paste and PastePrimarySelection are now deprecated in favor of these new options.
- X11: Mouse-based selection now copies-to and pastes-from the
PrimarySelection
by default. The CompleteSelection and CompleteSelectionOrOpenLinkAtMouseCursor actions now require a parameter to specify the clipboard. - X11:
SHIFT-CTRL-C
andSHIFT-CTRL-V
now copy-to and paste from theClipboard
by default.SHIFT-Insert
pastes from thePrimarySelection
by default. - New: Added a new default
CTRL-Insert
key assignment bound toCopyTo(PrimarySelection)
- macOS: Windows now have drop-shadows when they are opaque. These were disabled due transparency support was added. Thanks to Rice! #445
- Unix: adjust font-config patterns to also match "dual spacing" fonts such as Iosevka Term. Thanks to Leiser! #446
- New: Added alternate_buffer_wheel_scroll_speed option to control how many cursor key presses are generated by the mouse wheel when the alternate screen is active. The new default for this is a faster-than-previous-releases 3 lines per wheel tick. #432
- macOS: Dead Keys are now processed even when
use_ime=false
. More details in the docs. #410. - X11: attempt to load cursors from the XCursor.theme resource specified on the root window #524
- Added
file://
URL matching to the default list of implicit hyperlink rules #525
20201101-103216-403d002d
- Whoops! fixed a crash on macOS when using multiple windows in the new Metal renderer #316
20201031-154415-9614e117
- New: split/pane support!
CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+"
to SplitVertical, andCTRL+SHIFT+ALT+%
to SplitHorizontal. - New: LEADER modifier key support
- New:
window_background_opacity
andwindow_background_image
options to control using background images, transparent windows. More info - New color schemes:
Dracula+
,Gruvbox Light
,MaterialDarker
,Overnight Slumber
,Popping and Locking
,Rapture
,jubi
,nord
. - New: expanded lua API allows handling URI clicks and keyboard events with lua callbacks. See wezterm.on docs.
- 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)
