All notable changes to kjump are documented here.
The format is based on Keep a Changelog,
and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.
While the version is 0.x, the apps.json schema, the D-Bus API, and the
kjump CLI may still change between minor releases.
- Unit tests (
tests/, stdlibunittest) for the pure logic: shortcut id/name resolution,apps.jsonvalidation, the kga zero-sentinel anda(ai)key-sequence unwrapping, and theqdbusbinary resolver.
- Extracted
resolve(),strip_zero_keys(), andflatten_key_seqs()in the daemon (andresolve_qdbus()in the GUI) into pure, testable functions — no behaviour change.
0.1.0 - 2026-07-26
First public release. Run-or-raise for KDE Plasma 6 (Wayland and X11): press a global shortcut to focus a matching window, or launch the app if none is open.
kjumpddaemon: registers a global shortcut per app via kglobalaccel, raises matching windows through KWin's scripting D-Bus, and launches the configured command when no window matches. Owns its own kglobalaccel component, so all bindings appear as a single KJump section in System Settings → Shortcuts, persistent across daemon restarts.- Bidirectional shortcut sync: edits in the GUI push to kglobalaccel, and
edits made in System Settings sync back into
apps.json. kjump-configGUI (PySide6): manage apps and shortcuts, pick from installed applications, and grab a window's class with Pick from window….kjump <entry>CLI: trigger run-or-raise from the command line by an entry's id or name (case-insensitive) — for scripting and automation without binding a global shortcut.--versiononkjumpd,kjump-config, andkjump.- Per-user
make install/make uninstall(to~/.local, no root), including a systemd user unit for the daemon and a dependency check. - MIT license.
