Hunea
  • English

      • Defaults stay restrained

      Hunea's defaults are deliberately restrained: usable out of the box, without manufacturing noise for you.

      For example:

      • print_transcript_on_exit defaults to false: exit does not flood the shell
      • copy_on_mouse_selection_release defaults to false: finished selections do not auto-copy, reducing accidents
      • Reasoning stays collapsed by default: open the transcript overlay when you need the long form

      But "restrained defaults" is only one side of the coin. The other is that Hunea is highly configurable — many settings that other products simply don't let you touch can be adjusted here to fit your habits.

      Restrained by default, but highly flexible

      • Even key semantics can be swapped: swap_enter_and_send turns Enter from send into newline (Ctrl+J / Shift+Enter to send); ctrl_c_clears_input decides whether a single Ctrl+C with a draft clears the input or falls back to exit confirmation; esc_interrupt_presses even lets you set how many Esc presses interrupt a running request (1/2/3).
      • How the command menu triggers is up to you: command_menu_mode can be inline /, or a floating menu via Ctrl+O, or both.
      • Scrolling feel comes in six levels: scroll_animation ranges from snappy, fast to gentle, glide, deciding whether the wheel snaps or glides; motion also controls the overall decorative animation level.
      • UI skins are switchable: user_input_style offers three presentation styles for user messages (framed cx, compact full-line cc, legacy ms), so you're not locked into one look.
      • The status line is assembled on demand: status_line / status_line_2 freely combine git-branch, current-dir, current-model, throughput, latency, context-used, and more — order is display order, and you can even build a second line.
      • How reasoning is shown is optional: show_reasoning_content decides whether to show the thinking chain; reasoning_content_display then picks collapsed, full, compact, or snippet.
      • Runtime behavior is configurable down to retry details: request_retry_attempts, request_retry_delays, and request_timeout_seconds let you tune retry count, per-retry waits, and timeouts; tool_max_turns can also cap tool-call rounds.
      • Your external editor of choice: external_editor points Ctrl+G at any command via an argv array — VS Code, Cursor, Zed, nvim, whatever.

      In short, Hunea pairs "quiet by default" with "open to tweaking": leave it alone and it won't bother you; change it and there's almost always a knob to turn.
