OmnySSH

Features

• OmnySSH Desktop — a new native GUI app. A desktop application built on the same engine as the TUI, sharing your hosts.toml and snippets.toml. It bundles a live metrics dashboard, a multi-session terminal, an SFTP file manager, command snippets, host management, one-click SSH key setup, a command palette, and light/dark themes. Distributed as native installers (macOS .dmg, Linux .AppImage/.deb, Windows .exe). The TUI is unchanged and still installs the same ways. macOS builds are unsigned — on first launch right-click the app and choose Open (or install via install.sh, which sidesteps the Gatekeeper prompt).
• File manager hidden-file toggle (.): show or hide dot-prefixed entries (hidden by default). The .. parent entry is always shown.
• Nerd Font file icons in the file manager: per-type glyphs replace the [DIR]/[ ] markers. Requires a Nerd Font — without one the glyphs render as empty boxes.

Changed

• Terminal next-tab moved from Tab to Ctrl+N, freeing Tab for the shell's own completion inside the embedded terminal.
• File manager h/Left now navigates to the parent directory (previously moved the cursor up), matching ranger/lf/nnn/vifm. Returning to a parent places the cursor on the directory just left.

Bug Fixes

• The terminal now handles Cyrillic and other multibyte text. OmnySSH forwards a UTF-8 locale (and the IUTF8 PTY mode) to the remote shell, mirroring a normal ssh client's SendEnv LANG LC_*. Previously the session could fall back to a single-byte locale, so line editing corrupted the prompt on Cyrillic input and editors like vim rendered mojibake (plain cat was fine). Applies to both the TUI and GUI terminals. Best-effort — servers that don't accept forwarded env vars are unaffected.

Packaging

• Release builds now ship the GUI. CI bundles native desktop installers for macOS (arm64 + x86_64), Linux x86_64 (.AppImage + .deb), and Windows x86_64, attached to each GitHub Release alongside the TUI archives and covered by SHA256SUMS.
• install.sh can install the GUI, the TUI, or both via --gui / --tui / --both (or OMNYSSH_INSTALL=…); it prompts when run interactively and defaults to the GUI (the flagship app) for piped curl | sh.

Documentation

• CONTRIBUTING now documents the omnyssh-gui crate and how to build/test the GUI with the Node/Tauri toolchain.
• Documented the Auto SSH Key Setup feature (Shift+K): added a README Features entry, a Quick Start key reference, and a Help popup shortcut. The feature already existed but was undiscoverable.
• README "Development Roadmap" now lists the current 1.1.0 release (and 1.0.5); it previously stopped at 1.0.4.
• Removed the dead connect keybinding from the config.toml example and the [keybindings] config struct. Enter-to-connect was always hard-coded, so the field never had any effect.

Internal

• Repository converted to a cargo workspace; the engine now lives in its own crate: The SSH engine, host/snippet/app configuration, metrics parsers, domain events, and the self-updater moved into the new omnyssh-core library crate (crates/omnyssh-core), which has no dependency on terminal-UI or CLI crates. The TUI application keeps the omnyssh package name and the omny binary (crates/omnyssh) and consumes the core as a regular dependency. This prepares the architecture for additional frontends (e.g. a GUI) without duplicating the engine.
  • The event bus is split: background tasks emit CoreEvent values; the TUI wraps them into its own AppEvent stream alongside input events.
  • threshold_color was replaced by a UI-agnostic ThresholdLevel in the core; the colour mapping moved to the TUI theme module.
  • Keybinding parsing (config strings → key codes) and PTY key-to-bytes translation moved from the engine into the TUI crate; the core PTY API accepts raw bytes only.
  • Removed the unused nucleo dependency.
  • No user-facing changes: behavior, appearance, the binary name, and install paths are unchanged.
• Removed leftover Alerts/Deep Probe remnants: Deleted the unused [smart_context] config (SmartContextConfig was parsed but never read) and reworded stale "Deep Probe" comments left after the subsystem was removed in 1.0.5. No user-facing change — existing config files containing a [smart_context] section still load, as the section is ignored.
