Kiro PTY
Enhanced terminal wrapper for kiro-cli using a pseudoterminal (node-pty) for full input control.
Features
- @ File Picker — Type
@ to open an inline file selector with fuzzy search. Open files are prioritized.
- Image Paste —
Cmd+V detects clipboard images (screenshots), saves to /tmp/kiro-imgN.png, and sends the path to kiro-cli.
- Finder File/Folder Paste —
Cmd+V detects files/folders copied in Finder and sends their paths.
- Send Code from Editor — Right-click selected code → "Send to Kiro-CLI" sends
file:line-range reference.
- Multi-session — Open multiple kiro-cli terminals in the same window.
- Auto venv — Detects
.venv in workspace and sets VIRTUAL_ENV + PATH for kiro-cli subprocesses.
