Copilot CLI v0.0.411-0: Alt-Screen & SDK APIs
Alt-screen mode gets footer text selection, new SDK APIs for plan mode and autopilot, plus Windows shell fixes and memory improvements.
TL;DR
- Alt-screen mode now supports text selection in footer area
- New SDK APIs for plan mode, autopilot, fleet, and workspace files
- Windows shell commands, memory usage, and terminal bell behavior all improved
New
- Text selection in footer area — Alt-screen mode now lets you select text in the footer, fixing a long-standing UX gap.
- Alt-screen syntax options — Use
--alt-screen onand--alt-screen offfor explicit control instead of toggle-only behavior. - SDK APIs — New APIs for plan mode, autopilot, fleet, and workspace files give integrators more programmatic control.
Fixed
- Interactive shell commands now complete reliably on all Windows versions — no more hanging on older builds.
- Memory usage in alt-screen mode during long sessions has been reduced, making extended use less resource-heavy.
- Terminal bell now rings once when the agent finishes instead of on every tool completion — less noise, clearer signal.
- Text selection responsiveness in alt-screen mode improved for snappier interaction.
