This is a patch release mainly aimed at fixing some issues mostly introduced or exposed in the latest 0.40.0 release.

However, this version also introduces two exciting new features:

1. Ctrl j is now bindable thanks to a community contribution (thanks @hiasr !) - you can read more about the technical details of the implementation.
2. A new zellij action list-clients command was added for tools wishing to integrate with Zellij through the command line (this should facilitate interaction with other nested multiplexers such as neovim).

All changes

• fix(sessions): issue where sessions would occasionally become unresponsive (https://github.com/zellij-org/zellij/pull/3281)
• fix(cli): respect all options (eg. default-layout) when creating a session in the background from the CLI (https://github.com/zellij-org/zellij/pull/3288)
• fix(cli): rename tab and pane from cli (https://github.com/zellij-org/zellij/pull/3295)
• fix(plugins): respect $SHELL when opening a terminal from plugins (eg. from the filepicker strider) (https://github.com/zellij-org/zellij/pull/3296)
• fix(tabs): closing a tab no longer breaks tab movement (https://github.com/zellij-org/zellij/pull/3299)
• feat(plugins): add API to open new tabs with a LayoutInfo (https://github.com/zellij-org/zellij/pull/3305)
• feat(cli): add zellij action list-clients to allow listing the connected clients as well as their pane_id and running command (https://github.com/zellij-org/zellij/pull/3314)
• feat(cli): allow binding Ctrl J (https://github.com/zellij-org/zellij/pull/3307)

Do you like Zellij :heart: ?

Me too! So much so that I spend 100% of my time developing and maintaining it and have no other income.

Zellij will always be free and open-source. Zellij will never contain ads or collect your data.

So if the tool gives you value and you are able, please consider a recurring monthly donation of 5-10$ to help me pay my bills. There are Zellij stickers in it for you! https://github.com/sponsors/imsnif
