mdt v0.1.0

We’re happy to announce mdt v0.1.0, the first public release. This version includes all the core features that make mdt a complete terminal markdown workflow.

A collapsible directory tree with real-time search filtering, fuzzy file finder (ff), and full file management — create, delete, rename, and move files and directories without leaving the terminal.

Full CommonMark rendering with syntax-highlighted code blocks (powered by syntect), tables with box-drawing borders, task lists, nested blockquotes, and heading jump navigation.

Vim-style keybindings with insert and normal modes, dirty-file tracking, and familiar commands (:w, :wq, :q!, :e).

A real-time split-pane preview that updates as you type. Choose between horizontal or vertical layouts with Space+p and Space+s. Debounced rendering keeps editing responsive, and parallel scrolling keeps both panes in sync.

Files reload automatically when changed on disk by another process.

Mouse support, width-aware text wrapping, terminal background color detection, NO_COLOR support, and advisory file locking.

Terminal window
cargo install mdtui
