# Enhanced Terminal v3.0 - Changes and Improvements
|
||||
|
||||
## 🎉 Major New Features
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Command History Search (Ctrl+R / Cmd+R)
|
||||
**Status:** ✅ Fully Implemented
|
||||
|
||||
**What it does:**
|
||||
- Fuzzy search through entire command history
|
||||
- Visual panel with searchable list
|
||||
- Instant results as you type
|
||||
- Double-click or Enter to use a command
|
||||
|
||||
**Implementation:**
|
||||
- `HistoryManager.swift`: Manages command history with fuzzy search
|
||||
- `Panels.swift`: `HistorySearchPanel` class with table view
|
||||
- Keyboard shortcut: Cmd+R
|
||||
- History persists between sessions (UserDefaults)
|
||||
- Maximum 1000 commands stored
|
||||
|
||||
**Technical details:**
|
||||
- Uses `NSTableView` for display
|
||||
- `NSTextFieldDelegate` for live search
|
||||
- Case-insensitive fuzzy matching
|
||||
- Prevents duplicate consecutive commands
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Multiple Tabs
|
||||
**Status:** ✅ Fully Implemented
|
||||
|
||||
**What it does:**
|
||||
- Open multiple terminal sessions in tabs
|
||||
- Each tab has independent shell process
|
||||
- Easy tab switching with mouse or keyboard
|
||||
- Visual tab bar at top of window
|
||||
|
||||
**Implementation:**
|
||||
- `TerminalSession.swift`: Individual terminal session management
|
||||
- `TabManager` class: Manages multiple sessions
|
||||
- `MainWindowController.swift`: Tab bar UI and switching logic
|
||||
- Keyboard shortcuts: Cmd+T (new), Cmd+W (close)
|
||||
|
||||
**Technical details:**
|
||||
- Each tab runs separate `Process` for zsh
|
||||
- Independent `inputPipe` and `outputPipe` per tab
|
||||
- Tab bar uses `NSStackView` with dynamic buttons
|
||||
- Proper cleanup on tab close to prevent memory leaks
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Auto-Suggestions (Fish-shell style)
|
||||
**Status:** ✅ Fully Implemented
|
||||
|
||||
**What it does:**
|
||||
- Shows command suggestions as you type
|
||||
- Based on command history
|
||||
- Gray text overlay showing completion
|
||||
- Press Tab to accept suggestion
|
||||
|
||||
**Implementation:**
|
||||
- `TerminalSession.swift`: Suggestion logic and display
|
||||
- `HistoryManager.swift`: `getSuggestion()` method
|
||||
- `Settings.swift`: Toggle setting
|
||||
- Visual overlay using `NSTextField`
|
||||
|
||||
**Technical details:**
|
||||
- Suggestion label positioned at cursor
|
||||
- Uses `NSLayoutManager` for precise positioning

||||

|
||||
- Theme-aware suggestion color (semi-transparent)
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Split Panes
|
||||
**Status:** ⚠️ Planned (UI framework ready, not yet implemented)
|
||||
|
||||
**What's ready:**
|
||||
- Menu items created
|
||||
- Keyboard shortcuts defined (Cmd+D, Cmd+Shift+D)
|
||||
- Placeholder methods in `MainWindowController`
|
||||
|
||||
**What's needed:**
|
||||

|
||||
- Enhanced ANSI cleaning with more patterns

|
||||
|
||||
**Technical details:**

|
||||
env["TERM"] = "xterm-256color"
|
||||
