A new release is here! Amongst many other things, we now have custom keybinding support :partying_face:

Thank you so much to everyone who contributed in this release :heart:

Highlights

Custom keybinding system

You can now configure custom keybindings for the search TUI. Remap keys to suit your workflow!

Full docs: Advanced Key Binding - Atuin Documentation

Examples

Simple binding

[keymap.emacs]
"ctrl-c" = "return-original"

Conditional binding (first matching rule wins)

[keymap.emacs]
"left" = [
  { when = "cursor-at-start", action = "exit" },
  { action = "cursor-left" },
]

Boolean condition expressions

[keymap.emacs]
"ctrl-d" = [
  { when = "cursor-at-start && input-empty", action = "return-original" },
  { action = "delete-char-after" },
]

SQLite-backed config storage

We’ve replaced several loose files with a SQLite database. This should improve reliability and make things easier to manage internally.

Sync page size parameter

You can now specify the download/upload page size for sync (#2408) — helpful for tuning sync performance, especially on slower connections or large histories.

Dotfiles: sort and filter for aliases/vars

atuin dotfiles alias and var listing now supports sort and filter options, making it easier to manage larger sets of aliases and variables.

Important note for self-hosters

We’ve changed how the server works! Going forwards, the server is now a separate binary, rather than being bundled with the client.

You can install it with

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -LsSf https://github.com/atuinsh/atuin/releases/download/v18.12.0/atuin-server-installer.sh | sh

The docker command now looks like

docker run -d -v "$CONFIG:/config" ghcr.io/atuinsh/atuin:<LATEST TAGGED RELEASE> start

(start, instead of server start)
