    placement and overflow handling
  • Mouse forwarding, scroll rate config, and startup redraw sync
  • Kakoune CLI args forwarded to the spawned session
  • Single-session startup config and kak-extra-config startup hook
  • Other clients stay alive when a window is closed
  • Dropped directories are handled according to the editor mode

Rendering and UI

  • Skia-based rendering with emoji support
  • Mode-aware cursor shapes and end-of-line cursor fixes
  • Live font size keyboard shortcuts with reset, stable scaling layout
  • Configurable underline offset
  • Prompt help frame and status line rendering fixes

macOS

  • Registered as an opener for documents; external files open in new
    Kakvide windows
  • Transparent titlebar/menubar options with centered window title path
  • Color space configuration
  • New windows are focused on startup; faster app launch via deferred
    icon loading

Configuration
