Keyboard Shortcut Updates in Kaleidoscope 5.2
We received feedback about keyboard shortcuts no longer working in the text merge since the recent Kaleidoscope 5.2 release. While it’s true that we changed some shortcuts, all functionality remains intact, and we believe more consistent and usable than before. In this post, we’ll provide background on navigation and merge actions, explain the rationale behind the changes, and offer tips on how to revert to the old behavior if you still prefer that after reading.
Kaleidoscope 5.2 eases the process of resolving merge conflicts by offering Base to A / B Comparisons, and more
Kaleidoscope 5.2 adds news tricks to support you even better when dealing with merge conflicts, in particular Git merge conflicts.
The kaleidoscope: URL scheme
Kaleidoscope 5.1 comes with a URL scheme, yet another new way to integrate with other apps on your Mac. Why would someone need that? Glad you asked!
How to open a Changeset from any app on macOS
Kaleidoscope 5 introduces a groundbreaking feature that allows users to effortlessly open the changeset for any Git commit. This feature comes in two distinct forms tailored to accommodate all macOS applications: one leveraging a system service and the other integrated with Kaleidoscope Prism. Both options can be further optimized by adding a keyboard shortcut for swift execution.
Welcome Kaleidoscope 5
Today we are proudly introducing Kaleidoscope 5! This update represents another big milestone. While we had started to integrate Git over the last few releases, Kaleidoscope 5 is reaching a new level, enabling you to dig into the history of your coding projects like never before.
Kaleidoscope 4 — A Year in Review
It’s been one year since Kaleidoscope 4 was released. Time to look back at our achievements and also glimpse ahead.
Folder Comparison Reinvented
Recently, we have spent a lot of time on many aspects of the folder comparison feature for Kaleidoscope 4.4 and 4.5. We have overhauled some of the underpinnings and worked hard to improve reliability and speed. But we also added some major new features. It’s time to tell you a bit what they are and how you can benefit from those changes.
Kaleidoscope 4.3 improves Git File History and Git Merges with Markdown and more
For the previous two feature releases, Kaleidoscope gained the ability to talk to git for the Git File History and the Merge Context Shelf. We now took some time to refine and add smaller bits, to increase your productivity and make Kaleidoscope more fun.
Kaleidoscope 4.1 and Git
With the first major update to Kaleidoscope 4, we are entering completely new territory: Kaleidoscope can now directly talk to Git. While Kaleidoscope could always integrate with Git, until now it could only show the results of a Git operation, such as git difftool and git mergetool, which was typically initiated through a Git client like Tower. For the 4.1 update, we decided to focus on the ability to display and compare multiple revisions of a file.
