The Are you the Keymaster Release?

The highlight of this release is the new keymap support, which enables dynamic configuration of keys -- so you can now provide a way for users of your app to customize key bindings.

Keymaps aren't documented beyond the API level at the moment. That will happen in a few releases. In the meantime, @darrenburns has written up this new feature (which he also implemented) on his blog. Check it out:

The Push it to the Max Release

This release adds a new maximize method, which you can use to temporarily full the screen with any given widget. This can be great for allowing the user to focus on a particular view.

You can maximize via the command palette, or you can bind a key with the action screen.maximize.

Here are some screenshots of this feature in action:

[0.78.0] - 2024-08-27

The lucky number 77 release

This is quite a large release!

We've done a lot of work on the command palette to make it easier to work with and use.

We've also added a "help panel" which you can summon from the command palette. This will give you context sensitive help, and a summary of all the key bindings. Here it is in action:

Screen.Recording.2024-08-22.at.15.13.22.mov

Also in the command palette is a "save screenshot" command, which will save a screenshot of the current screen. Very handy for adding to documentation.
