v0.8.2

0.8.2 — 2026-07-01

viewbus goes keyboard-first. There’s now a proper shortcut layer you can drive without touching the mouse — and customize to your liking.

New

  • Keyboard shortcuts. Toggle Settings (Ctrl/⌘+,), notifications (Ctrl/⌘+Shift+N), and the sidebar (Ctrl/⌘+B); refresh the current namespace (Ctrl/⌘+R), reload the app (Ctrl/⌘+Shift+R), or hide to the tray (Ctrl/⌘+W).
  • Shortcut cheat sheet. Press ? anywhere to see every shortcut and navigation key at a glance.
  • Rebind anything. A new Settings → Keyboard tab lets you record your own bindings, with live conflict detection and reset-per-action or reset-all. Only the bindings you change are stored — everything else follows the platform defaults.
  • Message navigation. With a message open, / move through the filtered list and Esc closes it. The sidebar tree keeps its arrow-key browsing.

Improvements

  • Clearer selection. The selected message row now stands out with a stronger highlight and an accent bar, so you never lose your place in a long list.
  • Refreshed home-screen tips. Shorter, at-a-glance tips highlighting shortcuts, bulk operations, monitoring, the built-in MCP server, and themes.

All local-first as always. Update via the in-app updater or grab a fresh installer from viewbus.app — your settings, themes, monitored sets, and stored connections carry over untouched.
