Available without text selection. Ensures a kate session/agent exists
(reuses existing or creates new), sets cwd to the current project
directory, and updates the status bar.
Adds a Settings → Configure Kate → Plugins → Ollie config page with a
checkbox to enable/disable automatic ghost text completion. The setting
persists via KConfig and is applied when the ghost provider is created.
Sends selected text wrapped in a code fence with the appropriate language
(derived from Kate's highlighting mode). Useful for pasting code snippets
directly to the agent without any surrounding prompt text.
Adds a heartbeat timer (5s interval) that pings the 9P server with a
cheap read. If the server goes down, the status bar turns red showing
'disconnected'. When it comes back, the plugin reconnects and
re-selects the agent for the current project.
Status bar now shows connection state:
- Red '✗ disconnected' — server unreachable
- Gray '○ no agent' — connected but no agent selected
- Green '● kate/ID' — connected with active agent
- newAgent() is idempotent: selects existing agent by cwd if one exists
- Use rdwr() to get new agent ID from server instead of ls() ordering
- selectAgentForProject() returns bool for caller branching
- Connect to Kate project plugin projectChanged signal
- Update chat block parser to [[[type]]] / [[[end]]] format
- Guard pluginViewCreated for KF5 < 5.78
- KRunner: rewritten to use plan9port 9p command for all operations
(list sessions, kill, one-shot generate). No D-Bus dependency.
- Tray: removed. Was a thin D-Bus status wrapper, not useful enough
to justify maintaining.
- Plasmoid: removed. GUI is standalone now.
- Kate: temporarily disabled in CMake. Header partially converted to
9P (D-Bus includes removed, QProcess/9P helpers declared). Full
conversion is next.
- All ninepBin() helpers use $PLAN9/bin/9p (not hardcoded path).
- CMake: removed Qt5::DBus, KF5::Notifications, KF5::Plasma deps.
Only remaining link deps: Qt5::Core, Qt5::Widgets, Qt5::Quick,
Qt5::QuickControls2, KF5::Runner.
MovingRanges are owned by the document. When the document is destroyed,
it deletes its ranges. If clearAnnotations is called after the document
is gone (e.g., view changed), qDeleteAll double-frees. Track the owning
document with QPointer and only delete ranges if it's still alive.
Only render the last 40 blocks eagerly. Earlier messages are
lazy-loaded in chunks of 20 as the user scrolls up. This fixes
the progressive slowdown that occurred during long sessions where
the full HTML re-render on every ChatUpdated signal became O(n)
on the entire conversation history.
Register an action with the gitplusplus plugin (kate-worktree) that
appears in the Git++ tree view context menu. When triggered, it reads
the computed diff from the gitplusplus lastDiff property and submits
it to the active ollie session for review.
Also adds a "Review Diff" entry to the standard KTextEditor context
menu when the document has Diff highlighting mode (fallback path).
Context menu: right-click selection shows Fix/Refactor/Add tests/Document
actions that submit the selection with file+line context to the agent.
Apply button: code blocks in assistant messages get a clickable Apply
button that inserts the code into the target file (detected from
preceding prose) or the active document.
Inline annotations: file:line references in agent output are highlighted
with MovingRanges in the active editor view.
Replace single-line TextField/QLineEdit with multi-line TextArea/QPlainTextEdit.
Enter sends, Shift+Enter and Ctrl+J insert newlines. Max height capped so the
input area does not take over the panel.
- Kate: add always-visible stop button next to prompt input
- All front-ends: sort sessions alphabetically by ID
- All front-ends: only auto-scroll chat if at bottom, show
floating go-to-bottom button when scrolled away
- CMakeLists: set KDE_INSTALL_PLUGINDIR to QT6_INSTALL_PLUGINS
so plugins install to lib64/qt6/plugins/ (where Kate looks)
m_ghost was parented to the view, so Qt parent-child cleanup could
destroy it when a view was replaced. The raw pointer remained non-null,
causing a double-free on the next viewChanged signal.
Fix by using QPointer<OllieGhostProvider> which auto-nulls on destroy.
Also replace qobject_cast with dynamic_cast for KF5 KTextEditor
interfaces to avoid crashes when qt_metacast accesses uninitialized
KateViewConfig during early view activation.
- Add Default Backend / Default Model config for chat sessions
(overrides OLLIE_BACKEND / OLLIE_MODEL env vars)
- Pass configured backend/model to CreateSession D-Bus call
- Move "Completion enabled on startup" checkbox below text fields
- Deduplicate status bar indicator when multiple views exist
- Make install target depend on build
- Remove Escape-to-dismiss (conflicts with Kate popups)
- Fix parent not passed to InlineNoteProvider causing provider recreation
on every viewChanged signal (killed debounce timer, no completions fired)
- Add view() accessor, use it in setupGhostProvider check
- Null-check focusProxy() to prevent crash during early viewChanged
- Multi-line completions: first line as inline note, continuation lines
rendered via GhostOverlay floating widget
- Guard event filter and signal handlers against active completion popups
- Add suggestion cycling (Meta+O,N / Meta+O,P) with history
- Add Meta+O,C to toggle completions on/off with status bar indicator
- Add Meta+O,D to dismiss current suggestion
- Add Meta+O,Tab to manually trigger a completion
- Add config page for completion backend and model override
- Pass backend/model config via D-Bus Complete context parameter
Adds OllieGhostProvider that renders AI completions as translucent
gray text after the cursor. Uses the new Complete D-Bus method with
500ms debounce. Tab accepts, Escape dismisses, any edit clears.
Works on both KF5 and KF6 builds.
- Side panel (right dock) with live chat view, streaming via ChatUpdated
- Prompt input at bottom, enter to send
- Context actions: 'Ask File' (describe current file), 'Explain' (explain selection)
- Auto-creates session in current file's directory
- Adopts existing sessions on load
