Copilot CLI v0.0.410-0: Session Loading & Keyboard Fixes
Session persistence, keyboard improvements, and smoother animations in Copilot CLI. Page Up/Down scrolling, ctrl+d to exit, and better MCP error visibility.
TL;DR
- ACP server now loads existing sessions — no more starting from scratch
- Better keyboard support: Page Up/Down, ctrl+n/p, ctrl+d to exit
- Repo-level validation tool toggles and smoother UI animations
- Fixed Shift+Enter newlines in kitty terminals
New
- Repo-level validation settings — disable individual validation tools per repository instead of globally
- ACP session persistence — ACP server can load existing sessions, reducing setup friction
- Page Up/Page Down scrolling — navigate alt-screen mode with familiar keyboard shortcuts
- Tilde expansion in MCP config — use ~ in MCP server cwd configuration for cleaner paths
- Arrow key alternatives — ctrl+n and ctrl+p now work as up/down navigation
- ctrl+d to exit — quit the CLI with ctrl+d on an empty prompt, standard Unix behavior
Improved
- Shell mode access — removed from Shift+Tab cycle, now only accessible via ! command for cleaner navigation
- /tasks dialog — consistent icons and typography across the interface
- MCP error visibility — server errors and loading issues now surface in the timeline for better debugging
- UI smoothness — frame coalescing and optimized alt-screen animations reduce input jitter
Fixed
- --no-warnings flag — resolved "unknown option" error
- Shift+Enter in kitty — newline insertion now works correctly in terminals using kitty keyboard protocol
