tscode v0.1.0-pre.94

tscode prerelease

This prerelease delivers the first SSH-friendly VS Code-style TUI workspace.

Highlights

• Mouse-first file explorer with real filesystem reads, expand/collapse, file open, hover, and wheel scrolling.
• tscode path/to/file now opens the file immediately, uses its parent directory as the workspace root, reveals it in the explorer, and starts the integrated terminal in that parent directory.
• tscode --help/--version now print CLI metadata before entering raw mode, making installer and package verification work without an interactive terminal.
• Explorer sorting can now be changed by keyboard (s), command palette, or right-click context menu between name, type, modified time, and size while keeping folders first and preserving the selected path.
• Explorer copy, cut, paste, duplicate, and reveal-active-file actions backed by real filesystem operations.
• Explorer New File/New Folder now prefill the selected folder path, create items under the selected folder or selected file's parent, reveal new folders, open new files, and refuse workspace-escaping paths.
• Explorer multi-select is now a real file-operation selection model: Space toggles the focused row, Shift+click range-selects visible rows, Ctrl/Command/Meta+click toggles rows, selected rows show a distinct marker/background, and copy/cut/paste/duplicate/delete/path-copy apply to the whole selected set.
• Explorer drag/drop now moves selected rows into the highlighted destination folder, while Alt+drag copies them instead; normal click-to-open still happens on release when no drag occurs.
• Explorer rows now support a right-click context menu whose mouse-selectable actions call the same real open/toggle, create, copy/cut/paste/duplicate, rename, delete, path-copy, New Terminal Here, refresh, collapse, and visibility operations as shortcuts and the command palette.
• Explorer Compare Selected Files with v, the command palette, or the right-click context menu now reads two selected text files from disk and opens a protected read-only unified diff tab.
• Explorer Right/Left keys now follow normal file-tree semantics: expand, descend into the first child, collapse, and move back to the parent instead of using a simple toggle-only behavior.
• Editor and terminal areas now support right-click context menus backed by the same real CommandAction path as shortcuts and the command palette. Editor menus cover save, clipboard, search, navigation, rename, suggestions, formatting, comments, run-in-terminal, path-copy, revert, and close-tab actions; terminal menus cover copy/paste/search, clear/restart/rename, session management, maximize/resize, and focus actions when the child app is not using terminal mouse reporting.
• File moves keep open editor tab paths in sync and reveal pasted/duplicated targets in the tree.
• Explorer filtering with / scans the real workspace tree, auto-expands collapsed parent folders for nested matches, preserves dotfile/generated-folder visibility rules, and keeps file metadata/read-only markers in tree rows.
• Explorer and workspace scans now respect .gitignore, .ignore, parent/global Git ignore rules, and generated-folder defaults through one shared visibility policy; toggling ignored entries with i reveals them in the explorer, quick open, workspace search, symbols, references, rename, and replace-in-files.
• Explorer now auto-refreshes when visible workspace files or folders are created, deleted, renamed, or have metadata changed by the integrated terminal, Git, build tools, or other external processes; expanded folders, selection, active filters, newly matching filtered paths, and Git badges are preserved/refreshed without a manual r.
• Explorer rows now show Git working tree badges such as git:M, git:?, and dirty folder git:* when the workspace is inside a Git repository.
• Command Palette with F1 or Ctrl-Shift-P, fuzzy command matching, and actions for files, editor commands, explorer operations, focus changes, and terminal management.
• Prompt and quick-panel inputs now behave like editable command fields: Left/Right, Home/End, Backspace, Delete, Ctrl-A/Ctrl-E, Ctrl-U/Ctrl-K, and paste operate at the visible cursor instead of only appending text.
• Quick Open overlay with Ctrl-P fuzzy matching across workspace file paths.
• Binary, non-UTF-8, and very large files now open as protected read-only hex/ascii previews, and those previews are excluded from workspace search, replace, symbol scans, rename fallback, and completion token scans so original bytes cannot be rewritten accidentally.
• Workspace text search overlay with Ctrl-Shift-F or Ctrl-G, real file scanning plus unsaved open-buffer scanning, result previews, dirty-buffer markers, and jump-to-line open.
• Document Symbols with Ctrl-Shift-O asks an installed language server for textDocument/documentSymbol first, lists hierarchical or flat LSP symbols in a filterable quick panel, falls back to local extraction when needed, and jumps to the selected symbol.
• Workspace Symbols with Ctrl-T asks an installed language server for workspace/symbol first, lists returned server symbols in the same filterable quick panel, falls back to visible workspace scans including dirty open buffers, and jumps directly to the selected file location.
• Optional installed-language-server integration now speaks stdio JSON-RPC/LSP for textDocument/hover, textDocument/signatureHelp, textDocument/definition, textDocument/typeDefinition, textDocument/implementation, textDocument/prepareCallHierarchy, callHierarchy/incomingCalls, callHierarchy/outgoingCalls, textDocument/documentHighlight, textDocument/references, textDocument/rename, textDocument/completion, textDocument/documentSymbol, workspace/symbol, textDocument/formatting, textDocument/codeAction, and textDocument/publishDiagnostics. Rust, Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, Go, and C-family files try common servers such as rust-analyzer, pyright-langserver, typescript-language-server, gopls, and clangd, while TSCODE_LSP_COMMAND can override the server for custom setups.
• Code suggestions with Ctrl-Space or command palette Trigger Suggest use installed LSP candidates when available plus workspace symbols, identifier tokens, dirty open buffers, and file-type keywords, then insert the selected suggestion into the active editor as one undoable edit.
• Code Action from the command palette or editor context menu asks the installed language server for quick fixes/refactors at the editor cursor, lists returned actions in a filterable quick panel, applies returned workspace edits, and executes command-only actions that produce workspace/applyEdit edits through workspace/executeCommand.
• Code folding now detects delimiter and indentation blocks, shows fold markers in the editor gutter, supports mouse gutter toggles, Alt-[ toggle-fold, Alt-] unfold-all, command palette actions, and editor context-menu actions while keeping scroll and mouse coordinates mapped to visible lines.
• Go to Matching Bracket with Ctrl-Shift-\, the command palette, or the editor context menu jumps between matching (), [], and {} pairs in the active buffer, including nested pairs and after-bracket cursor positions, while preserving editor navigation history.
• Split Editor with Ctrl-\, the command palette, or the editor context menu renders side-by-side editor panes; Explorer Ctrl-Enter, the explorer context menu, or the command palette opens the selected file to the side, and mouse click/wheel events activate and scroll the pane under the pointer.
• Editor symbol hover now resolves the identifier under the mouse against workspace symbols/references and shows definition/reference counts plus the first matching definition in a hover overlay and status summary.
• Show Hover from the command palette or editor context menu asks the installed language server for hover documentation and displays it in a quick panel without leaving the TUI.
• Signature Help with Ctrl-Shift-Space, the command palette, or the editor context menu asks the installed language server for textDocument/signatureHelp and displays signatures, active parameter labels, and documentation in a filterable quick panel.
• Go to Definition with Ctrl-] or the command palette asks the installed language server first, then falls back to matching workspace symbol definitions or listing multiple definition candidates when needed.
• Go to Type Definition and Go to Implementation from the command palette or editor context menu ask the installed language server for textDocument/typeDefinition and textDocument/implementation, jump directly for one result, or list multiple server locations in a filterable quick panel.
• Show Incoming Calls and Show Outgoing Calls from the command palette or editor context menu ask the installed language server for Call Hierarchy results, list callers/callees in filterable quick panels, and jump to the selected caller call site or callee symbol.
• Highlight Symbol with Ctrl-Shift-E, the command palette, or the editor context menu asks the installed language server for textDocument/documentHighlight, paints text/read/write ranges in the active editor, shows the highlight count in the status bar, and clears stale ranges after buffer edits.
• Find References with Ctrl-R or the command palette asks the installed language server first, then falls back to whole-word workspace references for the editor cursor symbol and jumps directly to the selected occurrence.
• Run LSP Diagnostics from the command palette or editor context menu asks the installed language server for active-buffer diagnostics, opens the Problems panel, and feeds editor gutter/status markers.
• Source Control from the command palette lists Git changed files and parsed diff hunks, opens changed-file rows as read-only diff tabs, supports fuzzy filtering, can stage/unstage or discard selected paths or all changes with typed confirmation, blocks discard when dirty editor buffers would be lost, and jumps from a hunk row to the changed source line.
• Run Task with Ctrl-Shift-B or the command palette detects .vscode/tasks.json, package.json scripts, Cargo, Make, Go, and Python project tasks, filters them in a quick panel, and starts the selected task in a new real PTY terminal.
• Terminal search with terminal Ctrl-F or the command palette scans the active PTY terminal's visible screen and scrollback, highlights matches, shows find:n/m in the terminal header, and uses F3/Shift-F3 to move between matches.
• Terminal Copy All Output and Scroll to Bottom commands now operate on the active PTY viewport plus retained scrollback from the command palette and terminal context menu.
• Editor navigation history: Alt-Left, Alt-Right, or the command palette move backward and forward after quick-open, search, symbol, definition, reference, go-to-line, or terminal path:line:column jumps.
• Rename Symbol with F2 or the command palette asks the installed language server for a semantic WorkspaceEdit first, applies returned edits to open buffers as undoable dirty edits and closed files on disk, then falls back to visible workspace text-file rename with identifier boundaries.
• Replace in Files with Ctrl-Shift-H or the command palette scans real workspace text files, writes replacements to disk, updates clean open tabs, and skips dirty open buffers instead of overwriting unsaved work.
• Run Workspace Check from the command palette detects Cargo, Go, or Python projects, runs the project checker, collects parseable diagnostics into a Problems panel, filters those problems, and jumps directly to the source location.
• Collected workspace and language-server diagnostics now appear in the editor with severity gutter badges, subtle line backgrounds, active-file problem counts, and active-line status messages.
• Terminal file-reference clicks now recognize richer compiler, test, traceback, and stack-frame output including quoted paths, Python File "path", line N lines, and path(line,column) references.
• Terminal file-reference clicks now also recognize Node/Jest/TypeScript stack frames like at fn (path:line:column), including paths with spaces inside the parentheses.
• Terminal link hover/click now recognizes http://, https://, and percent-encoded file://...:line:column URLs; web URLs are copied through the internal/OSC52 clipboard, and file URLs open directly in the editor.
• Run Selection in Terminal with Ctrl-Enter or the command palette sends selected editor text, or the current editor line when there is no selection, to the active PTY shell and focuses the integrated terminal.
• Editable tabbed code buffers with line numbers, syntax highlighting, dirty markers, cursor movement, paste, save, repeated search, undo, and redo.
• New Untitled File with Ctrl-N or the command palette creates a real editable scratch tab without touching disk; Save File opens Save As, Save All reports dirty Untitled tabs, and Save As retargets the tab to the new file.
• Save As from the command palette writes the active editor buffer to a new relative or absolute path, creates parent folders, retargets the tab, refreshes explorer and Git status, and refuses dirty open target tabs.
• Open editor tabs now detect external disk changes while the app is running: clean tabs reload automatically after terminal/Git/tool writes, dirty tabs keep unsaved edits with !/status-bar conflict markers, deleted files show deleted-on-disk state, and Save File/Save All refuse accidental overwrites until Reload/Revert or Save As is chosen.
• Long editor lines now support horizontal scrolling with cursor tracking, mouse-click coordinate mapping, and horizontal wheel panning.
• Editor mouse drag selection now keeps the drag active after leaving the editor body, clamps the endpoint to the nearest code location, edge-scrolls the viewport, and feeds the same copy/cut/replace/run-selection paths as keyboard selection.
• In-file search now highlights visible matches and shows a match count in the status bar.
• Ctrl-H and the command palette can replace the current/next active-file match, while replace-all changes every match as one undoable edit.
• Editor text selection with Shift+arrow keys and mouse drag, visual selection highlighting, and selection counts in the status bar.
• Mouse multi-cursor editing: Alt+click inside the editor toggles extra cursors at clicked text positions, and typing/paste continues through every active cursor as one undoable edit.
• Multi-occurrence editor selection: Ctrl-D adds the next active-file occurrence of the current word or selection, Ctrl-Shift-L selects all active-file occurrences, and typing/paste/delete changes every selected occurrence as one undoable edit.
• Editor word movement and word selection with Ctrl-Left, Ctrl-Right, Ctrl-Shift-Left, and Ctrl-Shift-Right where the terminal reports modified arrow keys.
• Editor smart editing now preserves indentation on newline, adds one extra indent level after opening braces/brackets/parentheses, and splits immediate closing pairs onto their own line.
• Editor auto-pairs for brackets, braces, parentheses, quotes, apostrophes, and backticks support insertion, selection wrapping, skip-over, and paired Backspace deletion.
• Internal editor clipboard support for Ctrl-A, Ctrl-C, Ctrl-X, and Ctrl-V, including replacing selected ranges as single undoable edits.
• Editor Ctrl-C and Ctrl-X now copy or cut the current line when there is no active selection, including the trailing newline, so line clipboard behavior matches normal code editors.
• Editor copy/cut now also exports selected text through OSC52 terminal clipboard integration where the host terminal allows it.
• Command palette path-copy commands copy active-file or selected-explorer absolute/relative paths through the same terminal clipboard export without disturbing explorer file copy/cut state.
• Editor line commands for indent/outdent, duplicate, delete, move up/down, and toggle comments now work on selected line ranges as one undoable edit, while still supporting the current line when no selection is active.
• Toggle Block Comment with Shift-Alt-A, the command palette, or the editor context menu wraps/unwraps the active selection or current line using supported file-type block comment tokens such as /* */, <!-- -->, --[[ ]], and Python triple quotes.
• Format Document with Shift-Alt-F or the command palette now tries installed LSP textDocument/formatting first, applies returned text edits as one undoable dirty-buffer edit, and falls back to external formatters such as rustfmt, prettier, gofmt, black, shfmt, or clang-format.
• Command palette Trim Trailing Whitespace removes spaces and tabs at line ends in the active editor buffer as one undoable edit, then saves cleanly to the real file when Ctrl-S or Save File is used.
• Command palette Revert File and Reload File From Disk reload the active editor tab from disk, discard unsaved buffer edits, clear per-tab edit history, reset dirty/external-file markers, and refresh Git status markers.
• Opening files now canonicalizes paths before tab lookup, avoiding duplicate tabs and broken relative-path behavior when the OS exposes aliases such as /tmp and /private/tmp.
• File explorer actions for refresh, new file, new folder, rename, and delete with confirmation; rename refuses to move the workspace root or overwrite an existing target, folder rename/delete keeps open tabs in sync, and explorer delete now refuses to discard unsaved dirty open tabs.
• Explorer collapse-all is available through the command palette.
• Tab close support through the tab x, middle click, or Ctrl-W, with a mouse-selectable Save and Close / Don't Save / Cancel panel for dirty tabs, including Save As then close for Untitled tabs.
• File save preserves existing trailing newlines.
• Bottom integrated terminal panel backed by a real PTY shell with forwarded keyboard input, shell state, Ctrl-C, terminal scrollback, clear-terminal, restart-terminal commands, and a live header showing the active session, cwd, live/exited state, child exit:N or signal:NAME status, scrollback offset, and active terminal modes.
• Terminal cwd tracking now consumes OSC 7 current-directory reports and automatically hooks zsh/bash sessions so cd updates the terminal header, context menus, and restart-terminal working directory.
• Terminal title tracking now consumes OSC 0/2 title reports from shells and terminal apps for unlocked sessions, while user-renamed terminal tabs stay locked to the chosen title.
• Terminal child apps that emit OSC52 clipboard writes now update tscode's internal clipboard and forward the copy request to the host terminal clipboard where supported.
• Multiple integrated terminal sessions: F7 creates a new PTY shell, F8 switches to the next terminal, F9 closes the active terminal, terminal tabs switch on click, tab close targets close on click or middle-click, and + creates a new terminal.
• Split Terminal with Ctrl-Shift-5, the command palette, or the terminal context menu creates a side-by-side PTY pane from the active terminal's current working directory; clicking either pane focuses that shell, and closing one pane leaves the other shell alive.
• New Terminal Here opens a real PTY shell in the selected explorer folder, or the selected file's parent directory, and restarting that terminal preserves its working directory.
• Rename Terminal changes and locks the active terminal tab/header title without restarting the PTY shell or losing its cwd/session state.
• The normal integrated terminal panel can now be resized by hovering the highlighted top border and dragging it with the mouse; the resize keeps a usable terminal height and leaves editor space visible.
• Terminal focus and maximize shortcuts now work from inside terminal focus too, so F6/Ctrl-` and F12/Ctrl-J can move in and out of the integrated terminal without trapping the user in the PTY.
• Full-screen terminal apps now receive terminal-owned keys before tscode shortcuts when alternate-screen or mouse-reporting modes are active, so keys such as Ctrl-F, F3, F7-F9, F12, Ctrl-J, and Shift-PageUp/Down reach tools like pagers, editors, and pickers inside the PTY.
• Terminal ANSI rendering preserves parsed foreground/background colors plus bold, dim, italic, underline, and inverse styles.
• Terminal paste now honors bracketed paste mode when the child application requests it.
• Terminal output selection now works inside the TUI: drag visible shell output to highlight cells and copy on release, use Ctrl-Shift-C to copy the active terminal selection again, and use Ctrl-Shift-V to paste the internal clipboard into the active PTY shell.
• Terminal modified navigation keys, function keys, Shift-Tab, null, and application-cursor arrows use xterm-compatible sequences for better shell/editor behavior inside the PTY.
• Terminal shell-editing shortcuts now forward more real terminal bytes, including Alt-Backspace, Ctrl-Backspace, Alt-Enter, Alt-Tab, and control punctuation/digits such as Ctrl-/, Ctrl-6, and Ctrl-8.
• Terminal clicks on visible existing path:line:column references open the file in the editor when the shell is not using terminal mouse mode.
• Terminal apps that request mouse events now receive xterm-compatible mouse down, release, drag, move, and wheel events through the PTY, including SGR, default, and UTF-8 coordinate encodings.
• Release CI now builds aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu with the Ubuntu gcc-aarch64-linux-gnu linker instead of the older cross Docker image path, avoiding a proc-macro resolution failure seen in the prerelease pipeline.
• Installer latest-version resolution now compares semantic prerelease tags so pre.10 sorts after pre.9 even when the GitHub API returns prereleases out of lexical order.
• Keyboard fallback for focus cycling, navigation, scrolling, command entry, and exit.
