elio-fm/elio v1.9.0 on GitHub

Added highlighted previews and icons for LaTeX, TeX, and BibTeX files (.tex, .ltx, .sty, .cls, .bib).
Show the current git branch in the footer while browsing repositories, with a * marker for local changes. ([#157])
Made Open With work on directories too, using the same app picker and system directory handlers. ([#157])
Added --chooser-file FILE [PATH] to run elio as a file chooser, writing the confirmed selection as absolute paths, one per line, to FILE or stdout with -; cancel exits silently with a nonzero status. ([#153])
Added persistent multi-path selection across directories, allowing chooser confirmation and bulk actions to use selected paths from multiple folders.
elio <path> now accepts file paths as well as directories, opening the parent directory and focusing the file entry, including hidden files, file symlinks, and broken symlinks.
Added configurable symlink_absolute (-) and symlink_relative (_) shortcuts for creating absolute or relative symlinks from yanked items in the current directory. ([#159])
Added Del as a default trash shortcut and Shift+Del as a default permanent-delete shortcut; [keys] now accepts delete / del as named key values. ([#162])

Updated shell integration scripts to pass --chooser-file invocations directly to elio, so chooser mode does not change the parent shell directory. Re-run elio shell install after upgrading to refresh existing shell integration.
Improved the Open With menu with keyboard navigation, scrolling, and an overflow scrollbar for long app lists.
Improved narrow browser pane resizing so Places gives up space sooner, preview remains useful longer, and stacked preview layouts behave more consistently.
Simplified Create and Help overlay hints.

Blocked nested selections and prevented pasting a folder into itself.
Fixed Caps Lock letter input when terminals report Caps Lock separately from the character.
Fixed image previews inside tmux when stale Alacritty/Kitty markers from the tmux server environment hid the active supported terminal.
Fixed several terminal/UI freeze cases around large image-preview output, focus changes, keyboard enhancement probing, and slow autofs/network mounts.
Fixed image and PDF preview redraws during resize bursts, with resize settling tuned separately for tmux and non-tmux terminals.
Fixed the active sidebar item highlight in the terminal ANSI and transparent example themes.
Fixed UI freezes when selecting all items in very large folders.
Fixed Linux/BSD Open With (O) behavior by reporting missing handlers accurately, showing the app used for direct single-app launches, and offering $VISUAL or $EDITOR in the current terminal for text/code files when the editor is not registered as a desktop app; o / Enter uses the same editor fallback only when no desktop handler is available. ([#168])
Fixed folder item counts lagging behind during fast mouse-wheel navigation.
Improved status bar behavior in narrow terminals by prioritizing focused item context, shortening open-file messages, and removing redundant idle hints. ([#174])
