🎃Kaku v0.3 is out. A fast macOS terminal with great defaults, built for AI coding workflows. https://github.com/tw93/Kaku
This release is all about daily driver polish. Fullscreen feels solid, window restore is reliable across monitors, and a bunch of small workflow annoyances are gone.
Highlights
• Fullscreen is smoother with less flicker. Padding, tab bar, and split rendering stay correct
• Window restore now persists size and position, and restores correctly across multiple displays
• Finder and default terminal support. Open in Kaku from Finder, and set Kaku as the system default terminal
• Remote work is clearer. Tabs show SSH hostnames, and SSH is more compatible by using TERM xterm-256color
• UX feedback is explicit. Toast notifications for Copied and config reload
• Editing flow improvements. Selection autoscroll, shell history peek while staying inside vim or tmux
• Rendering and performance. Better font rendering for wide glyphs and Nerd Fonts, transparent window edge fix, lower GPU usage
• Power user details. Cmd K clears screen, Cmd Shift S toggles split direction, dictation works, Tab completion is back, kaku init auto-creates user config and can set an OpenCode theme, and kaku update is now safer with Homebrew
My workflow in Kaku
Left pane is my AI coding entry. On the right I keep two vertical splits: one for dev commands and debug runs, one for reviews and diffs. Tabs are one project per tab so it never gets messy, and I stay on shortcuts most of the time.(Tw93)
