v0.3.9

CMD+K v0.3.9

What's New in v0.3.9

Linux Support — CMD+K now runs natively on Linux. The entire detection pipeline reads /proc to identify the active terminal emulator, shell type, working directory, and running processes. 18 terminal emulators (GNOME Terminal, Konsole, Alacritty, kitty, WezTerm, and more) and 9 IDEs are recognized out of the box. X11 window PID capture uses x11rb EWMH properties to identify the focused terminal when the hotkey fires.

Linux Overlay & Hotkey — System-wide Ctrl+Space hotkey with X11-native PID capture and always-on-top overlay. Since Linux lacks a native vibrancy API, the overlay uses CSS backdrop-blur-xl with a darker semi-transparent background for a frosted glass effect. Three distinct border radius values give each platform (macOS, Windows, Linux) its own visual identity.

Linux Paste — On X11, generated commands are pasted via xdotool key simulation (Ctrl+Shift+V). On Wayland (or when xdotool is unavailable), CMD+K copies to the clipboard and shows an inline amber hint: "Copied to clipboard — press Ctrl+Shift+V to paste." Destructive command confirmation integrates with the same hint system.

Smart Terminal Context — The old 25-line hard cap for terminal context sent to the AI has been replaced with a model-aware token-budget system. Terminal output is cleaned through a regex-based ANSI/control character stripper, segmented into command+output pairs, and truncated oldest-first to fit within 12% of the model's context window. This works across all platforms.

Linux Terminal Text Reading — Three strategies for reading visible terminal text: AT-SPI2 D-Bus accessibility API for VTE-based terminals (GNOME Terminal, Tilix, Terminator), kitty remote control for kitty, and WezTerm CLI for WezTerm. All strategies use a 500ms timeout. Unsupported terminals gracefully return no context rather than failing.

AppImage Distribution & CI/CD — Linux builds are now part of the release pipeline. A new build-linux CI job produces AppImage bundles for both x86_64 and aarch64 using native ARM runners. The auto-updater manifest (latest.json) includes Linux platform entries with Ed25519 signatures. A write-permission guard gracefully skips updates when the AppImage directory is read-only.

Showcase Website Update — The project website now features OS-detected download buttons, a Linux platform badge, an updated feature carousel, and a privacy policy covering Linux-specific data handling (AT-SPI2, /proc, xdotool).

v0.2.8

CMD+K v0.2.8

What's New in v0.2.8

ConPTY Shell Discovery — Windows Terminal uses ConPTY, which wraps every shell in a conhost.exe layer that previously hid the real shell process. CMD+K now walks the full process tree using a shared ProcessSnapshot, correctly identifying PowerShell, cmd.exe, Git Bash, and WSL sessions inside Windows Terminal tabs. Batch mode cmd.exe processes (spawned with /D /S /C flags) are filtered out so they never get misidentified as interactive shells.

Multi Tab Shell Disambiguation — When multiple terminal tabs are open, CMD+K uses UIA (UI Automation) to read the focused tab's visible text and cross reference it against process tree candidates. A weighted scoring system matches shell type keywords, working directory fragments, and prompt patterns to pick the correct shell for the active tab.

Scoped UIA Terminal Text — UIA tree walks are now scoped to List elements inside terminal windows rather than scraping the entire UI tree. This filters out toolbar chrome, tab bars, and decorations, returning only actual terminal output. The result is faster reads and cleaner context for AI command generation.

Multi Signal WSL Text Detection — WSL detection inside IDE terminals (VS Code, Cursor) now uses a multi signal scoring approach. Linux path patterns, prompt markers ($, #, ~), mount paths (/mnt/c), and user@host patterns each contribute a weighted score. This replaces brittle single regex checks and correctly detects WSL even when terminal output is minimal.

Provider Icon Branding — The onboarding provider selection and settings dropdown now show recognizable SVG icons for all five providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, xAI, OpenRouter) instead of plain text initials. Icons are monochrome white inside circular containers, matching the showcase site's provider cards.

v0.2.6

CMD+K — AI-Powered Terminal Commands, One Keystroke Away

Press a hotkey from anywhere on your desktop. Type what you want in plain English. Get a working terminal command — streamed in real-time. No plugins, no shell config, no browser tabs.

Features

System-Wide Overlay — Floating translucent command bar triggered by a global hotkey (⌘K / Ctrl+K) from any application. No dock icon, no window clutter.

Natural Language → Terminal Commands — Describe what you want. AI streams a working command back token-by-token with syntax highlighting.

Multi-Provider AI — Choose from five providers: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, xAI, and OpenRouter. Switch providers and models anytime from Settings.

Zero-Config Context Detection — Reads your current directory, shell type, and recent terminal output via accessibility APIs and process introspection.

Multi-Terminal Support — Terminal.app, iTerm2, Alacritty, kitty, WezTerm, VS Code, and Cursor on macOS. Windows Terminal, PowerShell, cmd.exe, and WSL on Windows.

WSL Awareness — Detects WSL sessions in Windows Terminal, VS Code, Cursor, and standalone wsl.exe. Reads your Linux working directory, identifies your Linux shell, and generates Linux-native commands.

Browser DevTools Support — Detects open DevTools in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Arc, Edge, and Brave. Switches to a conversational assistant mode.

What's New in v0.2.6

Multi-Provider AI Support — CMD+K is no longer locked to a single AI provider. Choose from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, xAI, or OpenRouter — each with its own streaming adapter, API key validation, and secure keychain storage. Switch providers on the fly from Settings without losing your conversation context.

Provider-Aware Interface — The onboarding wizard now lets you pick your preferred provider from the start. Settings displays per-provider API key status with checkmark indicators. Models are grouped by capability tier (Fast, Balanced, Most Capable) and your last-used model is remembered per provider.

WSL Terminal Context — Full WSL awareness on Windows. CMD+K detects WSL sessions across Windows Terminal, VS Code, Cursor, and standalone wsl.exe by walking the process ancestry tree. It reads your Linux working directory, identifies your shell (bash, zsh, fish), and generates Linux-native commands — no more Windows path confusion.

VS Code & Cursor WSL Detection — A multi-signal approach identifies WSL sessions inside VS Code and Cursor using window title [WSL:] patterns, UI Automation tree walking, CWD path style analysis, and IDE-aware shell priority that correctly deprioritizes cmd.exe host processes.
