NMSh v0.1.0
The first public release of NMSh.
NMSh is a terminal frontend for a real persistent zsh session, adding a fixed bottom editor, semantic highlighting, autocomplete, scrollable history, and richer command feedback while preserving normal shell behavior.
Highlights
- Persistent real zsh session
- Fixed bottom multiline editor
- Semantic command highlighting
- Highlighted submitted-command history
- Shell-aware completion and history suggestions
- Animated command lifecycle feedback
- Scrollable history viewport
- Fullscreen application passthrough
- Ghostty keyboard and appearance integration
Compatibility
- macOS
