Nebula Terminal

Kuddev·Kuddev.Pebrel

A GPU-accelerated terminal for Windows that keeps your sessions alive.

Nebula is a terminal emulator for Windows, built in Rust on a GPU-accelerated rendering core and designed around one idea: your terminal sessions are too valuable to die with a window. It pairs a tmux-style resident session model with a glass UI, an AI-CLI-aware sidebar, and a shell experience that works without extra setup.

Release Notes

Added

  • Added confirmation before restoring default settings, with Cancel, Escape and backdrop dismissal available before any preferences change. Contributed by @WilliamWang1721 in #115.
  • Added Windows login-startup and silent-start switches in Settings → Advanced → Session lifecycle. Silent startup enables the tray so the window can be reopened; an explicit directory launch still opens a visible window. Contributed by @WilliamWang1721 in #117.
  • Added an independent interface text-size control, adjustable from 10 to 24 px without changing terminal text size. Contributed by @WilliamWang1721 in #127.
  • Added a separate terminal font fallback list for Chinese and other full-width characters. Font choices apply on Enter or leaving the field; the English and Chinese fields both default to bundled Maple Mono NF CN. Contributed by @WilliamWang1721 in #127.
  • Added “Focus follows mouse” in Settings → Interaction, off by default, and “Dim inactive panes” in Settings → Appearance, on by default. Both preferences take effect immediately.
  • Added right-click actions to the Shell launcher for choosing the default Shell and, on Windows, opening the selected Shell inside a new administrator Pebrel window.
  • Added Connect, Edit, and Delete to SSH launcher context menus. Delete uses the existing confirmation and undo flow.
  • Added Trae CLI recognition and its tab icon, plus a dedicated Oh My Pi icon.
  • Added CodeBuddy CLI recognition and its color tab icon, including the codebuddy, cbc, codebuddy-code and codebuddy-lowmem commands. Prewarm commands and old welcome text alone do not establish a foreground AI session. Fixed
  • Fixed font candidates being clipped near the window edge or covering their input after settings-page scrolling. The list opens above the field when needed, and both terminal-font fields align and display the current font.
  • Fixed a bare pebrel launch opening a new terminal in the wrong directory. The inherited launch directory is preserved, including when handing the request to an existing Windows instance.
  • Fixed restored WSL panes losing their saved guest directory during startup.
  • Fixed queued AI resume commands and session identities being lost during Shell initialization. Compact Codex resume screens are recognized without another AI message, and exiting the CLI clears the foreground identity.
  • Fixed long WSL directory titles overlapping distribution labels in the sidebar and top tabs.
  • Fixed quiet terminals retaining an intermediate startup size. The final viewport size reaches the terminal even when no more output arrives.
  • Fixed Windows terminal focus consuming Alt+F4 and Alt+Space. Alt+F4 now uses the normal window-close flow, and Alt+Space, followed by N, uses the system menu to minimize the window.
  • Fixed the top Settings tab disappearing when switching to another tab. It now remains available until explicitly closed, including when tabs overflow or the tab layout changes.
  • Fixed Alt+1–9 and Ctrl+1–9 tab shortcuts losing priority to terminal input. They now work while a terminal or CLI has focus and respect custom shortcut changes without restarting.
  • Fixed WSL filename search failing when the directory path contains spaces or shell punctuation. Cancelling a search stops its own directory scan.
  • Aligned macOS native window controls with the sidebar and Settings buttons, and preserved their reserved space in the top tab layout. Window controls follow the system appearance. Contributed by @WilliamWang1721 in #114.
  • Fixed the Git drawer retaining Chinese labels when the application resolves to English. Controls, history timestamps and application notices follow the selected language; switching languages preserves the commit draft and text selection. Contributed by @gao-jian-bin in #118.
  • Fixed explicitly configured terminal selection text colors being ignored. Themes without their own selection foreground preserve that setting; themes with an explicit foreground retain their precedence. Contributed by @Aschenbath in #125.
  • Fixed selected text disappearing behind opaque highlights in the answer reader and other selectable text views. Text remains visible while list and sidebar selection backgrounds retain their existing appearance. Contributed by @Aschenbath in #126. Improved
  • Reduced file browsing and filename-search memory use by starting recursive searches only when a query is entered, reusing a bounded cache and streaming paths beyond that cache. Repeated panel use releases obsolete results and cancels superseded searches. Case, whole-word and regular-expression options remain available, with visible feedback for incomplete searches and errors.
  • Reduced background-image memory use with bounded image loading and reuse while resizing the window. Replacing an image releases the previous resources; extended backgrounds retain their fit, alignment and text readability.
  • Replaced the low-resolution Claude Code icon with artwork exported from SVG at 1024 pixels, and prepared Agent icons at their display size for smoother tab edges.
  • Restored monospace lettering for terminal directory labels, sidebar headers, tabs and split-pane titles while retaining the independent interface text-size setting. Windows packages include a Pebrel installer and portable ZIP. Linux x64 packages and macOS Apple Silicon/Intel DMGs retain their Preview designation. macOS requires version 14 or later. Molecular structure rendering remains disabled.
