capcom — v0.12.1 — 2026-10-27

The terminal UI now lets you pick between the side-by-side and the stacked layout, and remembers your choice.

New

Choose your layout in capcom ui — on a terminal big enough for both (at least 90 columns by 25 rows), press v to switch between the side-by-side split layout and the stacked one. Your choice is remembered as ui.layout and applied again each time both layouts fit, and the help screen now lists v.
A layout button in the status bar — the right end of the status bar shows a small button (─── while split, │ while stacked) that you can click to switch layouts, even with the filter line or the status picker open, which both stay open; it is hidden while help or a prompt is showing.
A layout-button colour — you can recolour the new status-bar button under ui.colors in your user config (by default a dark grey on the dark scheme and a light grey on the light one); with NO_COLOR set, the button is drawn in reverse video.

The stacked sidebar height follows the layout you choose — the sidebar height you set for the stacked layout (ui.stacked_ratio) now applies whenever the panes are stacked, including when you pick the stacked layout on a wide terminal, not only on a narrow one.
A clearer message when settings can't be saved — if capcom ui cannot save your layout or divider position, it now says cannot save the layout: followed by the error, instead of cannot save the divider position:; the new layout or position still takes effect.

Terminal UI guide covers choosing a layout — the guide has a new section on switching layouts with v or the status-bar button and on what is remembered, and the file format reference documents the ui.layout setting and the layout-button colour.
