This release significantly expands the command palette, making it the central hub for navigating and controlling Prowl.

New

  • Command palette now shows content on open. Pressing Cmd+P with no query displays a Recent section (commands used in the past month) and a Suggested section (commonly useful app-level commands), so you no longer need to know what to type first.
  • View toggle commands in the palette. Toggle Sidebar (⌘⌃S), Toggle Active Agents Panel (⌘⌥P), Toggle Canvas (⌘⌥↩), Toggle Shelf (⌘⇧↩), and Show Diff (⌘⇧Y) are now searchable and appear in Suggested when a worktree is active.
  • Navigation commands. Reveal in Finder, Copy Path, and Reveal in Sidebar are available from the palette when a worktree is selected.
  • Worktree action commands. Run Script (⌘R), Stop Script (⌘.), Pin/Unpin Worktree, Delete Worktree, and Rename Branch (⌘⇧M) are now accessible from the palette. Run/Stop Script toggles automatically based on the current script state.
  • Repo Settings command. Open the Settings window navigated directly to the current repository by searching "settings" or the repo name in the palette.
  • Custom commands appear in the palette. Repository-defined custom commands are searchable by name; their subtitle shows the execution mode (new tab, focused terminal, or split direction).
  • Keyword aliases for app-level commands. Terms like preferences, config, update, cli, repo, and worktree match their corresponding commands even when the exact title isn't typed.

Fixed

  • Cmd+W now closes the Settings window when it is focused.
  • Diff badge in the sidebar no longer truncates on narrow layouts.
  • The "Check for Updates" menu item now has an icon, consistent with other app menu entries.
