-
The resize and layout systems have been overhauled (zellij-org#568)
- Resizing a terminal then returning it to its original size will now always return panes to their original sizes and positions
- Resize mode resizes panes by 5% of the space on screen, not some fixed number
- Panes on-screen keep their ratios – a screen split 50/50 between two panes will remain 50/50 even as the terminal is resized (zellij-org#406)
- The terminal can now be resized without leaving fullscreen mode
- Layout parts are split into equal percentages if no explicit split-size is given (zellij-org#619)
- Fixed display of the tab bar at small terminal widths
-
Add
tabs
tolayouts
(zellij-org#625)The layout has now a template, and tabs section. The template specifies the location a tab is inserted in with
body: true
.Eg:
--- template: direction: Horizontal parts: - direction: Vertical borderless: true split_size: Fixed: 1 run: plugin: tab-bar - direction: Vertical # <= The location of body: true # <= the inserted tab. - direction: Vertical borderless: true split_size: Fixed: 2 run: plugin: status-bar tabs: - direction: Vertical # <= Multiple tabs can be - direction: Vertical # <= specified in the layout. - direction: Vertical
The
NewTab
action can optionally be bound to open a layout that is assumed to be in the newtabs
sectionThis is a BREAKING CHANGE for people that have the
NewTab
action already bound in the config file:- action: [NewTab, ] key: [F: 5,]
must now be specified as:
- action: [NewTab: ,] key: [F: 5,]
Optionally a layout that should be opened on the new tab can be specified:
- action: [NewTab: { direction: Vertical, parts: [ {direction: Horizontal, split_size: {Percent: 50}}, {direction: Horizontal, run: {command: {cmd: "htop"}}},], key: [F: 6,]
-
