Summary

The Gemini CLI has undergone a significant upgrade to enhance the user experience by making terminal interactions more robust, intuitive, and visually stable. This includes a revamped rendering foundation that eliminates common terminal application issues like screen flickering and bouncing input prompts, and introduces features such as mouse-based navigation, sticky headers, and a stable input prompt. These updates are designed to provide a smoother and more graphical-interface-like experience within the terminal, with improvements like flicker-free displays and robust rendering that adapts to terminal resizing without glitches. Despite using an alternate screen buffer for this improved experience, users can still access their complete chat history after exiting the Gemini CLI. The new features are available by default starting from version 0.15.0, with further enhancements like click-and-drag functionality and improved copy-paste solutions in development.
