OMXTerm 0.30.0

Calmer and more keyboard-friendly: ongoing states are a quiet mark instead of a strip over your terminal, Mirror Typing and Saved Layout get shortcuts, and Settings → Extensions is much simpler.

Which file do I download?

Your computer Download
Mac with an Apple chip (M1, M2, M3, M4…) OMXTerm-0.30.0-arm64.dmg
Windows PC, most laptops and desktops (Intel or AMD) OMXTerm-0.30.0-x64.exe
Windows PC with a Snapdragon / ARM chip OMXTerm-0.30.0-arm64.exe
Linux PC, most laptops and desktops (Intel or AMD) OMXTerm-0.30.0-x64.AppImage
Linux on an ARM computer OMXTerm-0.30.0-arm64.AppImage

Not sure?

  • Mac: Apple menu → About This Mac. If it says "Apple M…", you're good. Intel Macs aren't supported.
  • Windows: Settings → System → About → System type. "x64-based processor" → x64. "ARM-based processor" → arm64.
  • Linux: run uname -m in a terminal. x86_64 → x64. aarch64 → arm64.

The .sha256 files next to each download let you check the file wasn't damaged or changed (how). You can ignore them if you don't care.

First launch

  • Mac: open the .dmg, drag OMXTerm to Applications and open it. macOS will block it the first time because the app isn't notarized by Apple: go to System Settings → Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway. Only once. Updating from 0.28.0 or 0.29.0 keeps the permissions you already gave OMXTerm.
  • Windows: run the .exe installer. Windows may say it doesn't recognize the app: click More info → Run anyway. Nothing else to install.
  • Linux: the AppImage is a single file you run without installing. Make it executable and run it (chmod +x OMXTerm-0.30.0-*.AppImage, then ./OMXTerm-0.30.0-*.AppImage), or use linux_install.sh to add it to your app menu. It needs Ubuntu 22.04, Debian 12, Fedora 36 or newer.

The x64 builds (Intel/AMD Windows and Linux) are still untested on real desktops. If something's off, tell us!

What's new

  • Quiet marks instead of status strips. Mirror Typing and Saved Layout no longer add a strip above the terminal that resized it (tmux and vim redrew) and never went away. An ongoing state now shows as a small ↔ mark in the pane's top-right corner; while Mirror Typing runs, click it to stop. Short confirmations appear for a moment and go away by themselves. (#1001, #1007)
  • Mirror Typing setup is a small dialog. It opens over the terminal instead of as a whole tab, so the tab strip doesn't appear and the terminal size doesn't change. (#1002, #1004)
  • Toggle Mirror Typing from the keyboard. Ctrl+Shift+M (Cmd+Shift+M on macOS) opens Mirror Typing setup, or stops mirroring in that window. The mark's tooltip shows the shortcut. (#1010)
  • Save Layout from the keyboard. Ctrl+Shift+L (Cmd+Shift+L on macOS), or Save Layout in the File menu or the Command Palette, saves the current window's layout without opening the Saved Layout page, and confirms with "Layout saved." It replaces the one saved layout. (#1012)
  • macOS: side tool shortcuts. Snippets moves from Cmd+Shift+S to Cmd+Option+S; Files gets Cmd+Option+F and SSH Connect Cmd+Option+O. Linux and Windows don't change. (#1012)
  • Your shortcuts win over new defaults. If a shortcut you set yourself uses a key that a new OMXTerm version gives to another action by default, yours is kept and that action is left without a shortcut. Before, OMXTerm threw away all your shortcuts and showed an error. Two shortcuts you set on the same key are still an error. (#1013)
  • A calmer Settings → Extensions page. One quiet row per installed extension, an Install or Update button only when there is something to do, and short sentences when something can't be installed. (#1006)

Configuration, theme and snippet file formats are unchanged (version 1).

Extensions. Mirror Typing 0.3.0 (setup that fits the new dialog) and Saved Layout 0.3.1 (title and Close on one row) need OMXTerm 0.30.0: Mirror Typing 0.3.0, Saved Layout 0.3.1. Update them from Settings → Extensions → Browse official extensions. If you keep Mirror Typing 0.2.0 or Saved Layout 0.3.0 for now, they still work on 0.30.0, shortcuts included; both show their title twice, and the old Mirror Typing setup may open scrolled down. On OMXTerm 0.29.0 or older, the catalog no longer offers these two; use Mirror Typing 0.2.0 and Saved Layout 0.3.0 through Install from link…. Files, SSH Connect and Snippets are unchanged.

Details

These are the exact same files as the per-platform releases (macOS, Linux ARM64, Linux x64, Windows ARM64, Windows x64), which also say how each build was tested. Built from commit 980c2e27c74db3f76ee81bf80831147bef3183d5.
