⭐️ New Features

Command Palette gets even more powerful

The Command Palette introduced in v12.14.0 gains major search and action improvements in v12.15.0. Press F2 (default) to open the palette and type a keyword to jump to any action.

Searching for commands in the Command Palette
Improved Japanese search with Budoux morphological analysis support.

Multi-step wizard commands

Complex actions that require multiple inputs are now guided step by step:

  • Open URL — Enter a URL and choose where to open it (new tab, current tab, new window, etc.).
  • Search Web — Pick a search engine, then enter your query.
  • Reopen in Container — Select from your registered containers to reopen the current tab.

The wizard walks you through URL entry and destination selection.

New switchers

Quickly jump to history entries, bookmarks, open tabs, recently closed tabs, and recently closed windows — all from the palette. History and bookmark results support async search with pagination (load more).

Tab switcher in the Command Palette
Switch between open tabs or recently closed tabs from a single list.

Tab management commands

Tab bar actions can now be performed from the Command Palette:

  • Close Other Tabs
  • Close Tabs to Start / End (supports vertical tab orientation)

Improved search — especially for Japanese

  • Budoux morphological analysis — splits Japanese, Chinese, and Thai command labels into meaningful segments (e.g., "タブ閉じる" → "タブ" + "閉じる")
  • English keyword search — type "bookmark" in Japanese locale to find bookmark-related commands

New mouse gesture actions

  • Open Settings / Open Floorp Hub
  • Toggle Share Mode
  • Copy page URL as Markdown

Drag and drop tabs into Split View

Dragging a tab onto the split view area shows a drop overlay indicating where the tab will land.

Mouse gesture commands for split view operations (open/close panes, swap, cycle layout, etc.) have also been added.

Refined Floorp Start and Hub appearance

Top site tiles on Floorp Start and sidebar items in Floorp Hub have been visually refined — improved hover visibility and tighter spacing between clickable Hub items.

macOS shortcut editor improvements

On macOS, modifier keys (⌘, ⌥, etc.) are now displayed with platform-native formatting in the shortcut editor.

🧪 Floorp Flasco

  • Assign containers to Progressive Web Apps is now available in Floorp Flasco.

Assigning a container to a Progressive Web App

When this feature is enabled, you can choose which container to assign when installing a web app.

It also supports opening multiple containers, so you can run a container-based PWA separately from a regular PWA that uses the default container. In other words, you can open the same website as separate PWAs — one per container.

This is an experimental feature and is planned to move to the stable channel in a future release.
