v0.22.0
Jun 21, 2026Hey everyone, today new major release featuring a great improvement to file search!
You don't need to do anything in order to benefit from it, as Vicinae will automatically rebuild your index on first startup.
Here are the main things that changed when it comes to file search:
- Files are now searchable using their full path, not only their name
- File search queries are now fuzzy-ish
- You can filter files according to the general category they belong to (document, audio, video, directory, image...)
- The file indexer should consume less resources, during the initial indexing in particular
- Improved file indexer heuristics to attempt to maintain the index as fresh as possible
- You get proper feedback in the vicinae launcher UI when the indexer is doing important work, such as populating the initial index
- Vicinae will try to spellfix your query if there is no match for it
- CLI verb to query the file index

v0.21.7
Jun 15, 2026## New settings window
One more rework of the settings window. Bigger, more spacious, and supports searching for extensions AND their commands from one unified search bar.
Also: added a dedicated "Appearance" section and exposed more settings that were only modifiable from the config file before that.

## New "Search Fonts" command
The "Search Fonts" command is now using a grid layout which helps with previewing many fonts at once. Each font uses a dedicated "showcase glyph" depending on what its primary script is.
The default action shows a full preview of the font in all the scripts it supports.
It's also possible to filter fonts per script, and per other characteristics, such as emoji support.

v0.21.6
Jun 6, 2026# Global shortcuts
Vicinae now supports global shortcuts on X11 and macOS (alpha, from source builds). You can change the keybind to toggle the vicinae window and assign keybinds to any command of your choice.
For wayland users, it is possible to get global shortcut support if your compositor supports our proposed protocol [ext-hotkey-v1](https://github.com/vicinaehq/vicinae-wayland-protocols/tree/main/staging/ext-hotkey). For now the only existing server implementation for it is my [niri fork](https://github.com/aurelleb/niri) and the [corresponding niri PR](https://github.com/niri-wm/niri/pull/4145). Edit: [there is also an Hyprland PR now](https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/pull/15010). If you want proper global shortcut support, please upvote the PR and talk about the protocol around you! If you are an OSS maintainer, I would be glad to PR a client/server implementation for you, just hit me up!

v0.21.3
May 30, 2026This release features a few important changes:
- we now use our own image rendering pipeline and no longer offload work to the default QML Image loader. One visible change is better quality icons, especially noticeable with things like emojis.
