Terminal

3.23.0

Minor Changes

• b66f9d4: Document and require Python 3.9 or above; use 3.9 for development (macOS ships 3.9 by default).
  • Update README badge and install instructions to state Python 3.9 or above.
  • Lower minimum Python version in plugin requirements (magic.ts) from 3.10 to 3.9 so
    the settings UI and checks reflect the same minimum.
  • Use Python 3.9 for development: .python-version, Pyright pythonVersion in
    pyproject.toml; runtime and requires-python remain 3.9 or above.
  • Add Python version sync notes in AGENTS.md and comments in pyproject.toml.

Patch Changes

• e023673: Complete macOS Option key handling and migrate to public xterm.js API.

  • Add Option+Arrow word navigation
  • Add Option+Backspace/Delete word deletion
  • Replace internal _core.coreService.triggerDataEvent() with public terminal.input()
  • Fix Shift+Enter regression caused by attachCustomKeyEventHandler conflict
  • Consolidate all custom key handlers into MacOSOptionKeyPassthroughAddon

• 58bda3d: Use Python 3.9-compatible type annotations in unix_pseudoterminal.py.

  Commit ab83e53 introduced from typing import Self (Python 3.11) and
  type[X] | None (Python 3.10) in a refactor. The plugin runs on the user's
  system Python, which on macOS defaults to 3.9.6 (Command Line Tools).
  Both Python 3.9 and 3.10 crash with ImportError at startup.

  Replace with from __future__ import annotations and forward-reference
  class name. Three lines changed, zero behavioral impact.

• 3785050: Rename MacOSOptionKeyPassthroughAddon to CustomKeyEventHandlerAddon.

  The addon handles multiple custom key behaviors (macOS Option key passthrough,
  Shift+Enter, Option+Arrow/Backspace/Delete); the new name reflects its role as
  the single custom key event handler addon. The addon slot is renamed from
  macOptionKeyPassthrough to customKeyEventHandler. The macOSOptionKeyPassthrough
  setting (and its behavior) is unchanged.
