Ctrl+P in most coding agents is bound to bringing up a command bar. You should be able to bind both hotkeys to the functionality you want already.

I don’t know what the standard C-p and C-n bindings are. Could you share? The startup time is a known issue and scales badly with extensions. We’re aware of it but fixing it is tri…

The problem with the XDG spec is that it now forces you to have different paths on different platforms. It just increases the complexity and at the end of the day unless all softwa…

I guess they might have said mid-size? But definitely not large SUV.

The wild thing for me is that we just recently bought an XC90 and an American friend asked me how we're managing with three kids in a "compact SUV". That car is about as large as c…

This path would only be viable for one or two providers and even does not work within one provider. For instance within OpenAI many of their models do not share the same capabiliti…

It definitely is getting quite challenging. That said, a lot of user experiences are modelled around retaining transcripts for longer than a few minutes. Every claw or chat based a…

I guess the good aspect of sign in with Google is that it falls back nicely to sign-in via email which is very portable.

> But in the background of the article is clearly the goal to make sessions portable, not just being able to inspect it. It's partially implied even in the title. But not on the le…

The post for the most part is mine, so if something AI generated slipped into it it's on me. I can share with you what I did to write the article which I do for most of my writing.…

> What are features that only work with session transparency / ownership? That's sort of the thing: very little (beyond switching models and providers). Obviously what you lose is …

> providers increasingly diverging how they implement certain features and the APIs becoming quite complicated and provider specific This post only talks about the former.

But then on a cache miss you need to resend the whole thing. Cached websocket connections on OpenAI work like this in a way. But once you lose the connection then you lose that. Yo…

Hosted tools are absolutely fine. Hiding away their results in encrypted blobs less so.

We were thinking about it while writing it. I think one thing at least open source harnesses can do is push back on using some of these conveniences from the providers. For instanc…

Because if you don't, you trash the KV cache and things get way more expensive. We wrote about it here: https://earendil.com/posts/prompt-caching/ Encrypted reasoning content is on…

We do not.

> It's for using lsp to do things like symbol renames. It's cheaper to call an LSP server to do those kind of simple refactors than to spend tokens on the model doing it. Is OpenCo…

> How you deal with LSP? One of the best things in OpenCode is LSP integration. I would love to learn how LSP helps you. I did various basic evals with LSP and I did not find it to…

We are going to address this. Not by loading the agent but by finding a way to provide official plugins or blessed plugins. But we’re not yet sure what the right approach is.

> Suggestion for Pi: capitalize tool names for the Sonnet/Opus models (edit -> Edit, bash -> Bash, ...). Pi is doing that.

> When you use a Codex subscription in an agent like Pi or OpenCode, all the requests and tool call execution go through a sandbox owned by Codex app server That is not the case. T…

That kills the KV cache unfortunately. In some models (Gemini) I also doesn’t work because there is a signature on the model messages.

The problem with hyper targeting harnesses to models is that you end up locking yourself quite quickly into special behaviors of models, and you make your sessions non transferrabl…
