Terminal.zig is terminal.zig: a file of functions and no fields takes a namespace's lowercase name

2026-10-01T03:12:17Z

The last of the deferred renames, now that the tty and theme agents have landed: panes.terminal at its importers, the alias lines in Text.zig and File.zig and panes.zig's own uses following. dump.zig's Terminal struct, a dump record, is not this. The served sources list and docs/design.typ name the new file. test/perf.zig's references change, so the three perf baselines take its new harness id with their numbers as recorded. No behaviour changes. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

Trial merge: 9P + helix + render

No panic from a notice wider than its band, or from the rest of its class

2026-10-01T03:12:15Z

The showcase GUI died in joinNotice on a long shader-error notice: with the tagline narrower than the body, the band hides more columns (skip) than a long message has padding (pad), and `skip..@min(pad, ..)` ran backwards. An audit of draw.zig, Layer.zig, Presentation.zig and animation.zig found the same class elsewhere, all fixed: - a multi-row pane tag or header scrolled for its caret's line sliced a shorter row past its end (paintPaneTag, renderHeaderLayer); - a zero-width column tag kept an earlier frame's viewport, and a column move's clip took it below zero (now saturating, and the early return resets the viewport and caret); - a tag line past 65535 columns overflowed tag_scroll's u16; - a hover left over from a bigger window dashed past the grid; - a border drag over a column that went away, a move preview past a shrunken grid, a column-move rail at zero columns; - Layer.pointAt cast a host's unchecked float metrics (web) to u16; - Text.insertVerticalCursor read past its lines for a cursor whose text changed under it. Regressions: a test of a notice wider than its band through Msg and through setMessage (the Post.zig compile-error path), which panics without the fix; and a monkey over the core at a gui's metrics (random resizes to a cell, long notices, prompts, multi-row tags, clicks, keys), 400 steps in the suite, PARDES_FUZZ_SEED/STEPS for longer runs; 60 seeds x 3000 steps clean. Shared files touched: none of the list (draw.zig, Layer.zig, Text.zig).

A selection's other ranges live out of line, made at the second range and freed at one

2026-10-01T03:12:15Z

The ranges beside the primary were an inline array in every Text, which at 1024 grew each pane by about 60 KiB. They are now allocated when a second range appears (Text.reserveSels) and given back when the selection is one range again (Text.dropSels); a column's or the workspace's tag allocates from Text.gpa, any other text from its pane's. A refused tag edit restores them by copy. The Pane size budget is back to 128 KiB, and a test holds that a single cursor allocates nothing for them. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

g. goes to where the last edit ended

2026-10-01T03:12:15Z

helix goto_last_modification: every range moves to the end of the last change (the start of a deletion, the end of an insertion), extending in select mode. The position is kept on the Text in surface rows, set where setEditText hands a body its new text, so a terminal's typed text has one too and moves with its scrollback.

K and Alt-K keep or drop the ranges a regex matches in; Alt-: turns every range forward

2026-10-01T03:12:15Z

K and Alt-K share the s/S prompt, which now carries a mode rather than a split flag: a range stays when a match starts inside it (K) or when none does (Alt-K), the primary becomes the first, and keeping none leaves the selection as it was (helix keep_or_remove_matches). Alt-: is ensure_selections_forward. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

A selection holds up to 1024 ranges on the desktop, 64 on the board

2026-10-01T03:12:15Z

The limit was 64 everywhere, which helix-golf's enumerate_and_align outgrows (%s |\d+ makes 121 ranges). It is now memory.limits.selections, per platform, and the counts that hold it are u16. The ranges stay inline in each Text, so a pane grows by about 80 KiB on the desktop (three texts and the regex prompt's snapshot); the Pane size budget in Terminal.zig moves from 128 to 160 KiB and says why.

Every range lives through insert mode, carried through each edit

2026-10-01T03:12:15Z

Insert mode dropped the selection on the first key and restored only the primary's appended-over span on Esc. Now each insert-mode edit is made at the bare cursor as before, and the range is then carried through it with helix's Range::map rules: typing slides an i range and stretches an a range, Enter (which now also drops the blanks before the cursor, as helix does) slides or stretches by what the cursor moved, and an arrow collapses. The replay gives every other range the same. Esc after a pulls each range's end back by one (helix restore_cursor), which replaces Text.append_at. The wiX-edit-drops-sel and msel-append waivers are gone. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

Registers hold a value per range, and " names one

2026-10-01T03:12:15Z

Registers.zig replaces the one yank buffer: every register keeps a value per range, y fills them in document order, and p, P, R and insert Ctrl-r put value i at range i, repeating the last (helix paste_impl). " names the register for the next command; _ swallows, # numbers the ranges, . is each range's text, % the file's name, / the last s/S pattern, and + and * are the system clipboard through the ClipYank and ClipPaste paths. SPC y now writes + alone, as helix's does. The acme chords and a paste into a terminal take the default register joined by newlines. The msel-yank-paste waiver is gone.

Let the keyboard reach a tag's path, read-only

2026-10-01T03:12:14Z

The tag's computed path, dirty marker and page were out of the keyboard's reach: its cursor lived in the text after them. It now lives in the tag as shown, as in acme where the name is ordinary text at the start of the tag, so `0` goes to the line's start and motions select and yank the path. The path stays read-only: an edit that would change it is refused and leaves the cursor where it was, and typing into a file's path drafts a new name as a click on it does. Sync moves the tag's positions when the prefix changes length, so a rename or the dirty marker still never moves the cursor off the text after it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5
