@@ -263,13 +273,14 @@ Default config values — copy this and change any value you want:
 - Style values can be Starship/terminal strings (`bold purple`, `fg:202`, `#89b` / `#89b4fa`, `bg:blue fg:bright-green`) or Pi theme tokens (`accent`, `borderMuted`, `thinkingHigh`). Short `#rgb` hex values expand to `#rrggbb`.
 - `projectRefreshIntervalMs`: project status polling interval; `0` disables polling. Values `1..4999` clamp up to `5000` (minimum 5s); invalid/non-finite values fall back to `30000`.
 - `contextStyle`: `text` (default), `gauge`, or `text+gauge` for the context segment.
+- `separator`: controls the default footer layout and extension-status connectors: `pipe` (default, ` | `), `dot` (` · `), `chevron` (` › `), or `none` (one space). Cycle it from the `/zentui` **Layout** tab. This selects the separator glyph; `colors.separator` controls its color. Custom `footerFormat` literals and `$sep` keep their existing behavior.
 - `contextThresholds`: `{ warning, error }` percentages (default `70` / `90`) that select contextNormal / contextWarning / contextError colors.
 - `pathDisplay`: controls how the cwd/`$cwd` path is shown. `mode` is `basename` (default, last segment only) or `full` (path with home contracted to `~`). In `full` mode, `depth` keeps only the last N trailing directories (`0` = entire path after `~`, max `5`); when parents are dropped the path is prefixed with `…/` (Starship-style). The `/zentui` **Layout** tab cycles path mode and path depth (`0`–`5`; depth is ignored for basename). Example: `~/Projects/foo/bar` with `depth: 2` → `…/foo/bar`.
 - `icons`: every shown icon key is configurable; omit any key to use the Zentui default. `icons.mode` is `auto` | `nerd` | `ascii` (default `auto`, same glyphs as nerd). ASCII mode swaps in plain fallbacks for statusline icons and runtime symbols — useful without a Nerd Font. Custom per-icon strings always win over mode defaults. Custom `icons.os` always wins; when left at the mode default, Zentui maps the OS icon by platform. `rail` sets the vertical glyph drawn as the left rail of the active editor frame and previous user messages when `copyFriendly` is disabled (default `│`; any single Unicode vertical or block glyph). `editorPrompt` controls an optional copy-friendly editor prompt glyph; the default is `""` so copy-friendly mode stays rail-free.
 - `colorSources`: `theme` maps styles through Pi theme tokens; `terminal` emits terminal colors. `/zentui` switches these sources; manual JSON controls specific style values.
 - `features`: `editor` enables Zentui's custom editor, selector borders, and previous-message chrome. `statusLine` enables Zentui's custom footer/status line. `copyFriendly` hides editor and previous-message rail glyphs so native terminal selection copies less chrome. All three can be changed from `/zentui` or direct slash-command arguments.
 - `footerSegments`: show or hide individual built-in footer segments (`cwd`, `gitBranch`, `gitStatus`, `gitCounts`, `gitCommit`, `gitMetrics`, `runtime`, `packageVersion`, `sessionDuration`, `username`, `time`, `os`, `context`, `tokens`, `cost`). Toggle them from the `Built-in segments` tab in `/zentui`.
-- `footerFormat`: optional Starship-style template string that fully controls the footer layout. When set, it overrides `footerSegments`. See [Footer Format Template](#footer-format-template) below. The `/zentui` **Layout** tab configures context style, path display mode/depth, and icon mode; set or clear custom formats with `/zentui format`.
+- `footerFormat`: optional Starship-style template string that fully controls the footer layout. When set, it overrides `footerSegments`. See [Footer Format Template](#footer-format-template) below. The `/zentui` **Layout** tab configures context style, separator, path display mode/depth, and icon mode; set or clear custom formats with `/zentui format`.
 - `gitCommit`: Starship [`git_commit`](https://starship.rs/config/#git-commit)-style options for the `gitCommit` footer segment. `hashLength` (default `7`, clamped to `4`–`40`) controls the short-hash display length. `onlyDetached` (default `true`) shows the hash mainly on detached HEAD. `showTag` (default `true`) appends an exact-match tag (`git describe --tags --exact-match HEAD`). The tag probe piggybacks on the existing git refresh — it only runs when both the segment and `showTag` are on, and misses/failures degrade silently.
 - `gitMetrics`: Starship [`git_metrics`](https://starship.rs/config/#git-metrics)-style options for the `gitMetrics` footer segment. Uses `git diff HEAD --numstat` (staged + unstaged combined — the Starship “total dirty” view) to show aggregate `+added −deleted` line counts. `onlyNonzero` (default `true`) omits each zero component independently and hides the segment entirely at `0/0`. `ignoreSubmodules` (default `false`) adds `--ignore-submodules=all`. The numstat diff piggybacks on the existing git refresh and uses a hard 2s timeout; a metrics-only failure degrades silently without discarding fresh branch/status data. On very large monorepos the diff may lag or be omitted on timeout.
 - `extensionStatuses`: controls third-party statuses published by other Pi extensions through `ctx.ui.setStatus()`. `defaultPlacement` and each `placements` value can be `off`, `left`, `middle`, or `right`. The `Extension segments` tab in `/zentui` lists only statuses that are currently active.

+## Fixed editor (experimental, opt-in)
+
+The fixed editor pins the Zentui editor and footer at the bottom of the terminal while the transcript scrolls above. This enables composing follow-up messages while referencing earlier conversation history.
+
+### How to enable
+
+```text
+/zentui fixed-editor enable
+```
+
+Or in `~/.pi/agent/zentui.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+	"fixedEditor": {
+		"enabled": true
+	}
+}
+```
+
+### Keyboard controls
+
+| Key | Action |
+| --- | ------ |
+| `PageUp` / `PageDown` | Scroll transcript one viewport up/down |
+| `Ctrl+Shift+↑` / `Ctrl+Shift+↓` | Scroll transcript up/down (Kitty protocol variants supported) |
+| `Enter` | Jump to bottom (and submit message) |
+
+### Mouse scroll (default on)
+
+Mouse wheel scrolling is enabled by default when the fixed editor is on. Disable it via `/zentui` Features or:
+
+```json
+{
+	"fixedEditor": {
+		"enabled": true,
+		"mouseScroll": true
+	}
+}
+```
+
+**Warning**: Mouse scroll enables SGR mouse reporting, which disables native terminal text selection, URL click-through, and tmux/Herdr scrollback for the Pi session. Toggle off if you need those features.
+
+### Conflicts and limitations
+
+- **Incompatible with** `pi-powerline-footer`, `@tifan/pi-fixed-editor`, and `pi-sticky-input`. These packages patch the same Pi TUI internals; only one rendering owner can be active at a time.
+- **Alternate screen**: Uses the terminal's alternate screen buffer. Native scrollback history is not accessible while the fixed editor is active.
+- **Pi version fragility**: Patches internal TUI methods (`doRender`, `render`, `terminal.write`, `terminal.rows`) that may change across Pi versions. If the TUI layout is unsupported, Zentui falls back to normal rendering with a console warning.
+- If your terminal is stuck after a crash, run `reset` or restart the terminal.
+
 ## Requirements
 
-- [Pi](https://pi.dev) coding agent 0.79 or newer
+- [Pi](https://pi.dev) coding agent 0.80 or newer
 - A [Nerd Font](https://www.nerdfonts.com/) for icons (or set `icons.mode` to `"ascii"`)
