Scroll? More keys?

This release includes two nice features that include scrolling the viewport and supporting Ctrl+<arrow> keys. You can now use the ScrollUp and ScrollDown commands to scroll the viewport. VHS will also now recognize Ctrl+Left/Up/Right/Down keys.

Thanks to @joshka-oai and @sectore for their gracious contributions and support 🙂

First, download the checksums.txt file and the checksums.txt.sigstore.json file files, for example, with wget:

wget 'https://github.com/charmbracelet/vhs/releases/download/v0.11.0/checksums.txt'
wget 'https://github.com/charmbracelet/vhs/releases/download/v0.11.0/checksums.txt.sigstore.json'

Then, verify it using cosign:

cosign verify-blob \
  --certificate-identity 'https://github.com/charmbracelet/meta/.github/workflows/goreleaser.yml@refs/heads/main' \
  --certificate-oidc-issuer 'https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com' \
  --bundle 'checksums.txt.sigstore.json' \
  ./checksums.txt

If the output is Verified OK, you can safely use it to verify the checksums of other artifacts you downloaded from the release using sha256sum:

sha256sum --ignore-missing -c checksums.txt

Done! You artifacts are now verified!

VHS v0.9.0

Hurry up and Wait

This release introduces the Wait keyword:

Output wait.gif
Require gum
Type "./slow.sh"
Enter
Wait+Screen@10s /Hello/
Type "echo Lets Go!"
Enter
Sleep 1

This allows you to remove all the random Sleeps in your tape files!
You can now wait for specific conditions instead. This means more control while simplifying tape file creation.

More shells

There's also support for xonsh and osh, so you can now use them in
your tapes as well:

Output examples/settings/set-shell-xonsh.gif
Set FontSize 38
Set Height 225
Set Shell xonsh
Sleep 1s
Type "I am using xonsh."
Sleep 2s
