0.5.0 - Movable tabs, smarter setup, optional source control
BriskEdit 0.5.0 makes the window your own and smooths first-run setup.
⛔️ It remains an unsigned developer preview; on first launch, right-click BriskEdit.app,
choose Open, and confirm.
Added ✅
- Drag tabs anywhere. Reorder tabs within the strip, tear one off onto the
desktop to open it in a new window, or drop it on another window to move it
there — keeping unsaved edits and the language server intact. Dropping onto a
specific tab inserts it at that position. - Keyboard and overflow tab controls. Move the active tab with
⌃⌘←/⌃⌘→
(also in the File menu), and jump to any open tab from the overflow menu that
appears when the strip is full. - Onboarding that sets up your tools. The first-run flow now detects the
compilers, language servers, and formatters already on your Mac and offers to
install the missing ones — Xcode Command Line Tools, Homebrew packages, and
more — with one click. It also previews your theme live, installs the optional
command-line launcher, and can open your first folder. - An About page in Settings with the version, license, and project links.
Improved 🔆
- Smoother tab reordering. Tabs glide into place with a spring and a clear
drop indicator. - Optional source control. A single switch turns the Source Control sidebar,
gutter change bars, and inline blame on or off — for when you're not working in
a repository. Available in onboarding and Settings. - Tidier Settings and welcome screen. All preference tabs fit on one row
without an overflow menu, and the welcome header shows the author and version.
Fixed ❗️
- The Recent folders list no longer keeps temporary or deleted directories.
Compatibility
- macOS 26 (Tahoe) or later, Apple silicon.
