What feature would you like to see?
Dear Kimi Code CLI Team,
First, thank you for the excellent work on kimi-cli. The recent updates have brought many great features. However, I'd like to provide feedback about a change that has significantly impacted my w
orkflow.
The Issue
Since version 1.15.0, the following changes were made:
- Terminal window/tab title was changed to generic "Kimi Code" (no longer shows the working directory path)
- Input prompt was simplified by removing the username prefix (and the path is not shown anywhere in the ongoing prompt)
Why This Is a Problem
When working with multiple projects simultaneously across different terminal windows/tabs, I can no longer identify which repository/directory each kimi session belongs to without:
• Running pwd or /pwd every time I switch contexts
• Scrolling back to the welcome screen that only shows on startup
This creates significant friction in daily workflow, especially for developers who:
• Work with multiple repositories
• Use multiple terminal tabs/windows
• Switch between projects frequently
Suggested Solutions
Could you please consider one of the following:
- Configuration option in ~/.kimi/config.toml:
[ui]
show_work_dir_in_prompt = true # Show path before the prompt symbol
or
show_work_dir_in_title = true # Show path in terminal window title
- Show abbreviated directory in prompt:
~/projects/myrepo >
/home/user/projects/another-project ›
- Restore the previous behavior where the path was visible in the window title.
Current Workarounds (Not Ideal)
• Using /pwd command repeatedly
• Restarting kimi to see the welcome screen
• Downgrading to v1.14.0 (but losing all new features)
