Termexo v0.8.3: smoother typing and tasks you can adjust mid-run

Maker update: Termexo v0.8.3 is out. I maintain this MIT-licensed Windows workbench for Claude Code, Codex CLI, OpenCode and real terminals. If typing has felt delayed while agents are working, this is an update worth installing.

Give keystrokes room to run

Git queries and event synchronization previously queued on the same IPC thread as terminal input. The release moves background commands to a thread pool. The official release reports key-input latency p99 falling from 514 ms to 19 ms in its measurements. These are release-reported results, not an independent benchmark or a guarantee for every machine.

Less repeated background work

Git status now reacts to filesystem changes, with a 60-second fallback check. A status read uses one Git process instead of 5–8. Event records keep only the fields the UI needs, preserve their read position across restarts, and prune records older than 30 days at startup. The reported event-read step fell from over a second to a few milliseconds; this is not the total app launch time.

Adjust tasks while they run

Send additional instructions through the same agent session, or stop a task while preserving its terminal and session so you can continue later or return it to the backlog. A pinned agent overview and collapsible sections make status easier to scan.

Upgrade

Existing users are encouraged to update to v0.8.3. The first launch after upgrading may still be slow while old event data is processed once. Later launches read incrementally. Agent CLIs and model services still require their own setup.
