Backlog - BooTTY Extension

Quick Wins

• Add keyboard shortcut for "New Terminal" (Cmd+Shift+T)
• Cache file existence checks with TTL (avoid repeated round-trips)
• Debounce resize handler (150ms)
• Add .vscodeignore for lean extension packaging

Code Quality

• Split webview/main.ts into modules (file-link-provider.ts, search-controller.ts, theme-utils.ts)
• Export proper TypeScript types from ghostty-web (blocked: requires ghostty-web changes)
• Add unit tests for path resolution, message handling, keybinding logic

Performance

• Batch checkFileExists requests (50ms debounce, parallel fs.stat)
• Add LRU cache for file existence results (implemented in file-cache.ts)
• Profile and optimize link detection regex (pre-compiled patterns, early-out)

Features

• Terminal tabs
• Split panes
• Copy/paste context menu (browser default)
• Search in terminal (Cmd+F)
• Scrollback persistence across window reloads
• Drag-and-drop files into terminal (paste path)
• Bracketed paste mode support (paste events wrapped with \x1b[200~ / \x1b[201~ when DECSET 2004 enabled)
• Bell notification (visual/audio)
• OSC 9 notifications

Developer Experience

• Publish ghostty-web to npm (replace file:../ghostty-web)
• Add CHANGELOG.md for releases
• Add contributing guide
• Document architecture (extension ↔ webview ↔ PTY flow)

Selection & Clipboard

• Verify ghostty-web selection API works correctly
• Double-click to select word
• Triple-click to select line
• Shift+click to extend selection (native xterm.js feature)
