T48: Ely on Windows in a box her own size, as a user found her broken in 0.1.4: gpui opened her popup as large as the display when the middle of the box asked for lay off it, as an overlapped window Windows framed, so she sat at its bottom over the terminal and it took the clicks; her window becomes a bare popup, and the glue posts it her size, from her own DPI, with her place on the pane's top edge, since gpui hears a new size only outside its own updates

- 2026-10-17: a session posts system notifications through gpui's, which the owner asked for. At start `set_app_identity` names the app: on Windows that sets the process's AppUserModelID, which the taskbar groups its windows by too, so a pin made before may show apart, and the first notification writes the app's name under `HKCU\Software\Classes\AppUserModelId`, as gpui needs for an app without a package; on macOS gpui posts only from the app bundle, asks for leave at the first, and logs once, under the `gpui_macos` target, that it posts nothing outside one; on Linux it posts over D-Bus through notify-rust. Each terminal view posts its own, in the order its output asks, so OSC 99's answers keep their place before a DA1 sent after them: when its row's mark turns to waiting, done or error, at each turn, as the row's waiting mark is set, the hover's line for the record its body; when a command C started ends, `Command finished`, or `Command exited with N`, so a prompt drawn again, as macOS's bash 3.2 draws one with its D at a resize, posts nothing, and bash 3.2, which sends no C, posts no command's end, as Ghostty's integration, which skips it, posts none; and when a program asks through OSC 9, 777 or 99, its title and body the body, each line shown as text. It posts only while its window is not active or it is not the session shown, which the workspace tells it, one every 3 seconds at most, a later one logged and dropped; the title is the program's title, else the app's name, as the row names the session, which the tap reads in the output's order, so a title set before a notification in the same output names it. The session's own share a tag, so a new one takes the old one's place where the system allows, as an OSC 99 id does; OSC 9, 777 and OSC 99 without an id each take their own; a session keeps its last 64. A press goes to the window whose session posted it: it shows the window and the session, unless OSC 99 said `a=-focus`, and tells a program that asked `a=report`, `OSC 99 ; i=ID ;`; a press whose record went, a twin Linux stacked and pressed before or one past the 64 kept, still shows its session and tells no program. macOS brings the app forward at any press, `a=-focus` or not, and on Wayland gpui asks for the window with a serial the compositor likely refuses, so KWin and Mutter mark it as asking for attention instead. gpui hears of no close on any system, so `c=1` hears `p=close;untracked` once posted, and alive lists the ids posted and not yet pressed, closed or expired. On macOS and Windows a close takes the notification back, and `w` over 0 takes it back once it runs out, its session gone or not, unless a later post holds its tag; gpui on Linux closes and replaces none, so there a close and `w` pass by, logged, a closed one stays alive, and an update posts beside the old one. `o` passes by: each notification posts only while unseen, which is kitty's invisible, so the query answers `a=focus,report:o=invisible:p=title,body,close,?,alive:w=1`, on Linux `a=focus,report:o=invisible:p=title,body,?,alive`, never with the `c` that close events would need. Windows' toasts are silent, as macOS's are; on Linux the notification daemon decides, and reads the body as markup, so its `&`, `<` and `>` go as entities.
- 2026-10-18: herdr's shortcuts, which a user found dead, as kitty and Ghostty send them. herdr 0.9.5 asks for kitty's disambiguate, events and alternates on macOS and Linux, and takes `cmd+shift+ctrl+[` as `[` with Shift, Ctrl and Super, `CSI 91;14u`, the symbol as its alternate, `CSI 91:123;14u`, as Ghostty sends it; gpui named the key `{` and cleared Shift, so ELYTerminal sent `CSI 123;13u`, which herdr matches only to `cmd+ctrl+{`. Under kitty's flags a key Shift made a symbol of now goes as its own character with Shift, the symbol its alternate; legacy keys keep fixterms' symbol without Shift, as Ghostty's do. On macOS the key's own character comes from `UCKeyTranslate` on the event's key code, in the layout gpui reads: Command's while Command is down or while the plain one types no ASCII; AppKit's `charactersByApplyingModifiers:` ignores the layout for events built in-process. On Windows herdr asks for no kitty flags and reads the console's key records, and ConPTY asks every terminal for win32-input-mode, `CSI ? 9001 h`; so, as Windows Terminal does, each key that types no text goes as `CSI Vk ; Sc ; Uc ; Kd ; Cs ; Rc _`: the virtual key from gpui's name and the layout (`VkKeyScanW`), its scan code, what Windows types for it (`ToUnicode`, a dead key left as it is), down or up, and the modifier keys, locks and enhanced block from `GetKeyState`. kitty's flags go first, as in Windows Terminal; text stays text, so a repeat or a release goes as a record where its press did, a repeat that types after its modifiers came up too, and a release goes so only there; a full reset ends the mode, as Windows Terminal's does. A key that is down is known by its code, AppKit's key code on macOS and the virtual key on Windows, since gpui names a release by the modifiers left down: a release after Shift came up still goes out. Linux has only gpui's name. A console record holds no Windows key, so no Windows terminal passes herdr a `cmd` binding, and a keypad key goes as its main key, since gpui names it so. On Linux gpui keeps neither the key code nor its xkb state, and names a non-ASCII key by its place on a US keyboard, so a key's own character cannot be found: Shift with a symbol and Ctrl, Alt or Super goes as the symbol without Shift, which herdr matches to a binding on the symbol, `ctrl+{`.
- 2026-10-18: inside herdr, herdr opens its panes' links, as the owner's Cmd-press and Ctrl-press ask. herdr 0.9.5 wraps a long URL at its pane's edge with no wrap flag and writes its panes' OSC 8 links to the terminal without their targets, so ELYTerminal's own finder opened a cut URL or nothing; herdr itself opens the link under a Ctrl-press, whole from its own pane, a wrapped URL or an OSC 8 target, and underlines it while Ctrl is held. So while herdr's client leads the session and tracks the mouse, every link press goes to herdr as the mouse report it is, and on macOS herdr hears Cmd as Ctrl, the wheel aside. herdr's rules come with it, by its design: while it takes the mouse it keeps its panes' OSC 8 targets from the terminal, so that it alone answers Ctrl-press, and it opens only `http` and `https` links; a `file://` link inside herdr stays shut, since the text the terminal sees may be the label of another link. Shift with the press, which takes the mouse back from a program, is the way past herdr its docs name: the terminal then opens what it sees, a `file://` link too. With herdr's mouse capture off, herdr writes its links' targets out and the terminal opens them itself. Elsewhere ELYTerminal opens the link itself, as before.
- 2026-10-18: Ely peeks over the main window's top edge, which the owner asked for after the 0.1.3 film, her head and fingers drawn from the icon's own paths and cut at the edge she holds, in a transparent window of her own, 112 by 107 points with 16 above her for her hops, 140 in from the pane's left edge, less on a pane too narrow for that, so she holds its edge at any width, and the main window seems to hide the rest of her. Her window never takes the keys from the terminal: on macOS her panel becomes key only if needed, which gpui's view never asks; on Windows her window answers a press's activation with none, every other message passed on to gpui's own procedure; on X11 and Wayland a press moves no focus. gpui moves no window and places its popups only on Wayland, so each platform keeps her there its own way: on macOS gpui's popup panel is made the main window's child, at its level and in its Spaces, without a shadow, so AppKit moves it and hides it with the window; on Windows gpui's popup is owned by the main window and loses the topmost place gpui gives it, so it stays just above the main window and hides with it, and is moved as the main window moves; on X11 gpui's popup, which no window manager places, is moved onto the pane, stacked just above the window manager's frame as the window moves or comes forward, and unmapped while it hides; on Wayland she is gpui's anchored popup, an xdg_popup on the pane's top edge, which the compositor keeps there; gpui moves a popup's anchor never, so a new width that moves her place opens her again. She opens with the sessions' mood, and her face follows the most pressing of their marks: a program that waits surprises her, with a mark and two hops; an error worries her, with a shake; a finish cheers her for 4 s, with a hop; work keeps her eyes on the terminal; calm, she blinks and glances, and dozes after 5 minutes; a press winks at you. Each face is an SVG drawn once, at three times her size so Retina draws her sharp, and she draws again only when her face changes. Settings › Terminal › Ely turns her off; she is on by default.
