v0.6.0 🌈

Hello everyone. I've been using Glues as my main note-taking app, and I'm pleased to share this update. Here's a brief look at what's new. Expect more improvements soon!

Main Highlights

Design Renewal

• 256-Color Support
  Switched from just 16 ANSI colors to 256 colors. Everything now looks way more vibrant and consistent, no matter which terminal you’re using.

• Better Note Tree Browser
  • Added Nerd Font icons for directories and notes, so it’s easier to see what’s what at a glance.
  • Directories get a neat yellow icon, and notes have dimmer icons for contrast.

• New Bottom Status Area
  • Shows Vim mode (Normal/Insert/Visual) on the bottom-left corner.
  • Displays a breadcrumb to let you know exactly where you are.
  • Hides the Vim mode label when no tabs are open—clean and simple.

Keymap Side Panel

• Press ? to toggle a handy panel on the right with all the key mappings.
• No more cramming everything into a single top row. Now you can open/close the panel anytime you want.

Additional Improvements

• Tab Closing Tweaks: You can now close all tabs on the right or all on the left.
• Cleaner Tab Rendering: Removed the square brackets around editor tabs.
• “Saving…” Label Update: Redesigned for better visibility.
• OS Clipboard Integration: Yanked text goes straight to your system clipboard.
• Vim ‘a’ Command Fix: Properly inserts text at the end of a line.
• Rust Update: Bumped to version 1.84.
• Plus various refactoring and logging upgrades under the hood.

Hope you find these changes helpful! I’m loving it so far and will keep improving Glues for everyone. Enjoy!
