peco 0.6.0

What's new in 0.6.0

v0.6.0 - 24 Feb 2026
[Breaking Changes]
* Migrated terminal backend from termbox-go to tcell (#567).
* Removed deprecated config fields Matcher, InitialMatcher, and
CustomMatcher. Use InitialFilter and CustomFilter instead.
Note: CustomFilter uses a different format than CustomMatcher:
Before: "CustomMatcher": { "MyFilter": ["/path/to/cmd", "$QUERY"] }
After: "CustomFilter": { "MyFilter": { "Cmd": "/path/to/cmd", "Args": ["$QUERY"] } }
* Removed deprecated CLI option --initial-matcher.
Use --initial-filter instead.
* The action ViewArround has been renamed to ViewAround (fix typo).
The old name still works but shows a deprecation notice. If you have
"ViewArround" in your config, please update it to "ViewAround".
* Removed Use256Color config field. After the tcell migration,
256-color and truecolor support is automatic via terminfo detection.
Existing configs with this field will continue to load without error.
* Shift+Tab is now mapped to Tab internally. Use M-[,Z in your
keymap config if you need a distinct Shift+Tab binding.
* Default key bindings for GoToNextSelection and
GoToPreviousSelection have changed. GoToNextSelection was
previously unbound (it silently conflicted with KillEndOfLine on
Ctrl+K in v0.5.x) and is now bound to Alt+j. GoToPreviousSelection
was previously bound to Ctrl+J and is now bound to Alt+k.
* ANSI color support is now enabled by default (--color=auto).
ANSI escape sequences in input are now parsed and rendered with
colors preserved. To disable, use --color=none or set
"Color": "none" in your config file.
* Query terms starting with - are now interpreted as negative
(exclusion) filters. In v0.5.x, foo -bar searched for lines
matching both "foo" and literal "-bar"; in v0.6.0 it searches for
"foo" while excluding lines containing "bar". To match a literal
hyphen prefix, escape it with a backslash: \-bar.
[Features]
* Added YAML configuration file support. You can now use
~/.config/peco/config.yaml in addition to JSON (#576).
* Added negative filter terms. Prefix a search term with - to exclude
matching lines, e.g. -unittests SSO matches "SSO" but excludes
lines containing "unittests" (#434, #592).
* Added peco.FreezeResults / peco.UnfreezeResults actions.
Freezing locks the current result set so you can clear the query, …
