…view New features: - Interactive font selector (-S/--select-font) with live preview - Shows monospace fonts by default, use --all for all fonts - Uses system's fc-list to enumerate available fonts - Interactive font size selector (-Z/--select-size) with live preview - Interactive opacity selector (-O/--select-opacity) with live preview - Direct setters: -f/--font, -s/--size, -o/--opacity - Show current settings with -F/--font-info (now includes opacity) Technical improvements: - Use synchronous file writes during preview to prevent race conditions - Add validation for empty/corrupted config files - Use YAML setIn() method for cleaner nested value updates Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
