Code fences with /path:start-end on the fence line get parsed.
Apply replaces that line range in the target file.
Fallback: insert at cursor or replace selection.
agent-copilot.md instructs model to produce ranged fences.
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.
setHtml() resets the document layout. sb->setValue(sb->maximum()) was
reading a stale maximum before relayout completed. Use moveCursor(End)
+ ensureCursorVisible() which forces layout and scrolls reliably.
Also: fix session list state updates destroying delegates (rename fix)
already included in previous commit.
- Add configurable close-to-tray (Settings > System Tray)
- QSystemTrayIcon with show/hide toggle and quit action
- closeToTray property persisted in theme.conf
- Window hides instead of quitting when enabled
- Fix session rename being interrupted by state changes
- onStateChanged no longer calls refreshSessions()
- State updates in-place via sessionStateUpdated signal
- Delegates track state locally, preserving rename TextField
- Replace Qt.callLater scroll debounce with Timer (16ms) to coalesce
rapid contentHeight changes and eliminate scroll flickering
- Add execute button (play icon) on code blocks for scripted languages
(bash, python, perl, ruby, etc.) — launches in terminal
- Fix assistant bubble width: always use 95% of available width
- Add minimum width (280px) to code fence blocks
- Move emoji popup into prompt RowLayout so it appears near input
- Disable wheel scroll inertia (direct contentY) while keeping flick
inertia intact
- Apply all fixes to both KF5 and KF6 QML files
- Tool blocks: expanded via sub-blocks (same as assistant) so embedded
diffs and code fences render properly with coloring
- Call blocks: always JSON, use formattedContent (pretty-print + highlight)
- Prose sub-blocks use Text.MarkdownText for native backtick/bold/link support
Tool results often contain markdown with code fences and diffs.
Using formattedContent treated the whole block as raw text.
Now tool blocks expand into parsed sub-blocks (prose, code, diff)
just like assistant blocks, so embedded diffs get colored.
HTML RichText collapses multiple spaces, destroying JSON indentation.
Wrap all highlighted output in <pre> tags and use real newlines instead
of <br>. pre-wrap allows wrapping at container width.
QSyntaxHighlighter applies colors to the layout only (not accessible
via QTextBlock iteration). Replace with a custom AbstractHighlighter
subclass (HtmlBuilder) that builds HTML directly in applyFormat().
This actually produces colored output.
QML scope issues made JS-based formatting unreliable. New approach:
- FormattedContentRole in the model computes pretty-printed HTML in C++
- Call blocks: always prettyJson()
- Tool blocks: detect JSON/diff and format, otherwise escaped HTML
- QML just binds text: block.formattedContent || ""
The onVisibleChanged approach failed because block.blockContent could
not resolve through the Loader scope. Now using direct binding:
- call blocks: text bound to chatModel.prettyJson(block.blockContent)
- tool blocks: detect JSON/diff, format accordingly
- prettyJson() uses QJsonDocument for proper indentation + KSyntaxHighlighting
- Only evaluated when visible (lazy)
ListView.positionViewAtEnd() causes freezes by forcing instantiation
of all delegates to measure total height. Flickable+Column avoids this
- contentHeight is computed directly from Column.implicitHeight
- Scroll to bottom is just contentY = contentHeight - height
- No virtualization needed with only 20 blocks
- Eliminates all positionViewAtEnd and _scrolling guard complexity
- Code blocks show plain text immediately, highlight via Timer after
150ms (prevents blocking the render thread during initial load)
- Reduced initial blocks from 40 to 20
- Detect append vs full reset in setRawText for better session switch
- Model shows last 40 blocks initially, positioned at end
- Scrolling near top triggers loadEarlier() which prepends 30 blocks
- Scroll position maintained after prepend via contentY adjustment
- All blocks still parsed (for searching later) but only tail rendered
- Reduced initial render cost significantly
With 300KB+ chat logs producing hundreds of blocks, instantiating all
delegates was causing unresponsiveness. Cap the model at the last 80
blocks and set cacheBuffer: 200 to limit off-screen rendering.
- Cache parseSubBlocks per block (only reparse when content changes)
- Cache highlightedHtml results (code+language key)
- Prevents expensive KSyntaxHighlighting and regex on every render
- Also fixes scroll loop with _scrolling guard
- ChatBlockModel::reparse() now does incremental diffs instead of
beginResetModel which destroys all delegates and resets scroll
- ListView scroll uses _scrolling guard to prevent infinite loop
from positionViewAtEnd triggering contentHeightChanged
- Loader delegate: set explicit height from item.implicitHeight so
ListView can calculate correct contentHeight for scrolling
- Prose sub-blocks: escape HTML, convert newlines to <br> before
linkifying paths (RichText ignores bare newlines)
Replace flat TextArea chat view with structured ListView:
- ChatBlockModel parses raw chat text into typed blocks (user,
assistant, reasoning, call, tool, error, info)
- Sub-blocks parsed from markdown: prose, fenced code, diffs
- Code blocks rendered with KSyntaxHighlighting (auto light/dark theme)
- Diff blocks with red/green line coloring
- Copy button on code and diff blocks
- File paths linkified and clickable (opens with xdg-open)
- Reasoning/call/tool blocks collapsible (click to expand)
- User blocks highlighted with subtle accent background
- Error blocks in red
- Scroll pinning preserved (auto-scroll when at bottom)
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.
Scan ~/.local/share/color-schemes/ in addition to /usr/share/color-schemes/
so user-installed themes (e.g. Catppuccin) are discovered. Mode is now any
scheme name rather than just system/light/dark. Settings dialog uses a
ComboBox listing all available schemes plus "System".
- 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.
