Release Notes - Zync v2.35.1

Release date: 2026-10-14

What's New

Zync v2.35.1 gives you more control over your workspace: customize colors, rename and organize tabs, dock panes, and keep navigation where it suits you. Keyboard shortcuts are easier to discover and edit, including additional bindings that work while the terminal is focused.

Compare: v2.34.1...v2.35.1

Custom themes

Side navigation

sideNav.mp4

Use the navigation bar shown by default, choose visible items, and click the selected sidebar button again to close its panel. Your saved choice to hide the bar is preserved.

Rename, docking, organize, pane groups and Host workspace sidebar

tabsPane.mp4

Give tabs useful display names, pin important ones, and drag them into order without changing the underlying host or session.

Keep a pane visible in a side or bottom region while switching center tabs, or group panes in a split. Return a grouped pane to its own tab by dragging its header back.

Move the host's Shell, Files and plugin tab strip into the existing sidebar, then resize it or return it to its original position. This is opt-in.

Added

  • Theme customization: Adjust interface colors with the Zync color picker and a realistic preview. Import/export the app palette and supported element overrides as validated JSON; applying an import is explicit. Version 1 supports opaque hex colors, not images or gradients. (125df46, ff68187)
  • Side navigation and workspace sidebar: Access Hosts, Vaults, Plugins and other sections from the default icon bar, which you can hide. Place the host's pane-tab strip in the shared left/right sidebar using its grip, context menu or Layout & Navigation settings. (c06c5f9, 2963282)
  • Tab organization: Rename, pin, reorder and customize main tabs and individual panes. Hide panes without closing their sessions, then recover them through the tab-bar menu. (740c8a5, 2963282)
  • Docking and recovery: Move existing panes to supported side/bottom regions, resize their regions, maximize temporarily, and return panes to separate tabs without restarting their content. (7f76bde, 2963282)
  • Toolbar and status visibility: Right-click either bar to show/hide optional controls or open its customization settings. Essential indicators stay available; these controls are not draggable. (c7edbd9)
  • Editable shortcuts and additional bindings: Open Profile → Keyboard shortcuts → View & edit shortcuts to search, record, remove or reset bindings and choose terminal availability. Non-conflicting secondary bindings work automatically; existing custom keys take priority over conflicting defaults. (e4ed903, 5fde763, acd9f33)

Changed

  • Side navigation shown by default: Fresh installs and profiles without navigation preferences show the activity bar. Existing hidden choices stay hidden; the host workspace tab strip remains opt-in. (905f8eb)
  • Clearer settings: Appearance contains themes and colors; Layout & Navigation contains sidebar, tab, toolbar and status controls; Terminal contains terminal typography and transparency. (ff68187)
  • Plugin sidebar: Browse Installed and Marketplace views without automatically opening Settings. Manage plugins through compact actions, and find built-in themes together under Zync Built-in Themes. (db959c9)
  • Smoother workspace interaction: Sidebars share resizing behavior, tab switches avoid unnecessary entry animations, and controls, menus and tooltips use consistent styling. (c426235, 2963282, e3a0783)

Fixed

  • Closing shell tabs: Closing one shell no longer removes unrelated feature or plugin tabs. Explicitly closing a whole group still closes its members. (b1f5608)
  • Sidebar resizing: Width saves no longer fail on fractional measurements, and neighboring panes stay aligned while resizing. (c426235)
  • Focus and retained content: Dialogs skip hidden controls and restore the correct opener. Reordering main tabs preserves running content instead of reloading retained plugin frames. (8e2cd22, 567989d, 740c8a5)
