NeoTerm v2.0.167 - Keyboard Shortcuts & Adaptive Theme Fixes

🔧 Critical Keyboard Fixes

This release resolves two major keyboard-related issues that significantly improve the user experience.

Fixed Issues

1. ⌨️ Keyboard Disappearing on Tab Switch with Shortcuts

Problem: When switching terminal tabs using keyboard shortcuts (Alt+1-9, Ctrl+Shift+Z, Ctrl+Shift+X), the on-screen keyboard would disappear and refuse to reappear until the Back button was pressed.

Solution: Implemented proper IME (Input Method Editor) connection restoration. Now when switching tabs via keyboard shortcuts, the system automatically:

• Restores focus to the terminal view
• Re-establishes the IME connection using restartInput()
• Ensures seamless keyboard availability across all tab switches

Impact: Keyboard shortcuts now work flawlessly without interrupting your workflow.

2. 🎨 HackersKeyboard Adaptive Theme Not Updating

Problem: The HackersKeyboard's adaptive theme feature wasn't synchronizing with terminal color scheme changes. This was especially problematic when:

• Switching between tabs with different profiles (each having unique color schemes)
• Changing the global color scheme in Customize settings
• Using profile-based sessions with custom themes

Solution: Implemented real-time color synchronization between NeoTerm and HackersKeyboard IME service:

• NeoTerm saves terminal colors (background, foreground) to SharedPreferences whenever colors change
• HackersKeyboard IME monitors these preferences and instantly applies adaptive theme updates
• Each tab's color scheme is respected - switching tabs updates keyboard colors automatically
• Works seamlessly with profile-based tabs and global color scheme changes

Impact: Your keyboard now perfectly matches your terminal's theme at all times, automatically adapting to each tab's unique color scheme.

Technical Details

Files Modified:

• app/src/main/java/io/neoterm/ui/term/NeoTermActivity.kt - Added IME restoration in onSelectionChanged()
• app/src/main/java/io/neoterm/ui/term/tabs.kt - Added updateKeyboardColorsForTab() method
• HackersKeyboard/src/main/java/io/neoterm/keyboard/pckeyboard/LatinIME.java - Added applyNeoTermAdaptiveTheme() method

Compatibility:

• Requires HackersKeyboard IME to be enabled for adaptive theme functionality
• Keyboard shortcuts work with any IME
• ARM64-v8a devices only

2. Install (allow "Install from Unknown Sources" if needed)
3. Enable HackersKeyboard in Android Settings → System → Languages & Input → Virtual Keyboard
4. Select HackersKeyboard as your input method in NeoTerm

NeoTerm v2.0.151 - Profile Settings Persistence & UI Performance

NeoTerm v2.0.151 - Profile Settings Persistence & UI Performance

🎯 What's Fixed

Profile Settings Persistence

• Fixed background color not persisting on tab switch - Terminal sessions now correctly maintain their background colors when switching between tabs
• Complete settings isolation - All settings (colors, fonts, extra keys) now properly apply for both profiled and non-profiled sessions
• Default profile system - Sessions without explicit profiles now use a dynamic default profile that always reflects current global settings

UI Performance

• Smooth tab switching - Eliminated UI freezes during tab switches by making settings application asynchronous
• Instant response - Tab switches now feel instant and fluid

🔧 Technical Changes

1. Default Profile System (ProfileComponent.kt)

   • Added getDefaultProfile() function that creates a hidden "DEFAULT" profile
   • This profile dynamically generates settings from current global preferences
   • Ensures non-profiled sessions always have correct settings

2. Unified Settings Application (tabs.kt)

   • Enhanced applyAllSettings() to use default profile when no explicit profile exists
   • Modified bindTerminalView() to always apply settings asynchronously (prevents UI freeze)
   • Settings now apply consistently whether tab has profile or not

3. Enhanced Session Switching (NeoTermActivity.kt)

   • Improved onSelectionChanged to ensure settings apply on every tab switch
   • Added checkAndApplySettingsChanges() to detect setting changes on activity resume

✅ Benefits

• ✓ Background colors persist correctly across all tab switches
• ✓ All settings (color schemes, fonts, extra keys) apply consistently
• ✓ Smooth, lag-free UI during tab operations
• ✓ Profile isolation maintained - no settings leak between profiles
• ✓ Non-profiled sessions properly use global settings

v2.0.41 - Advanced Text Selection with Scrolling

🎯 Advanced Text Selection System

✨ Major Improvements

• Unrestricted scrolling during text selection - Terminal scrolling works exactly like without selection

• 60 FPS auto-scroll when dragging handles near screen edge (16ms intervals)
• Both selection handles functional with accurate screen-coordinate detection
• Fling scrolling enabled during text selection for fast navigation
• Selection position preserved in buffer during scroll
