---

xplr → v1.1.0

• Config version stale (warning on startup): .config/xplr/init.lua:1 declares version = "0.20.0" but the binary is now v1.1.0. xplr checks this field at startup and will emit a compatibility warning until it matches.
  • Suggested edit: version = "1.1.0"
  • Ref: https://github.com/sayanarijit/xplr/releases/tag/v1.1.0

ghostty → v1.3.1

• Default change — clipboard: clipboard default changed from text to mixed (plain text + HTML) in v1.3.0. You have no clipboard setting in .config/ghostty/config, so copies will now include HTML alongside plain text. To restore the previous behavior, add to .config/ghostty/config:

  clipboard = text

kitty → v0.46.2

• New opt-in — pixel/momentum scroll (v0.46.0): pixel_scroll enables sub-line scrolling; momentum_scroll adds touchpad inertia. Add to .config/kitty/kitty.conf:

  pixel_scroll yes
  momentum_scroll yes
  

• New opt-in — tab drag (v0.46.0): tab_bar_drag_threshold lets you reorder tabs by dragging. Relevant since you use tab_bar_style powerline. Add to .config/kitty/kitty.conf:

  tab_bar_drag_threshold 10

lf → r41

• New opt-in — mergeindicators: Merges the tag and selection indicator columns into one, reducing the gap before filenames. You use set icons, so this affects your file list layout. Add to .config/lf/lfrc:

  set mergeindicators
