New in Air: Multiproject View, a New Markdown Editor, and IME on Windows

Air, an agentic development environment, released a new version featuring a multiproject view that allows opening several projects in one window and running agents across them in parallel, a new Markdown editor that renders formatted text without a split preview, and fixed IME support for Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and other languages on Windows. The update also includes a Customize screen for keymap, theme, and accent color selection on first launch, and Agent Review now lets users choose which agent and model run the review.

Air gets a new multiproject view: open several projects in one window and run agents across them in parallel. The sidebar groups tasks by project, so you always see which agent is working on which project – no more window juggling for multirepo work.

Markdown files now render as formatted text while you edit – clear headings, formatted lists, highlighted code – with no split preview. The syntax recedes while you read and appears when you edit.

And on Windows, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and other IMEs now work as intended. This was one of our most-reported Windows issues, and it’s fixed.

Also in this release: a new Customize screen lets you pick your keymap, theme, and accent color on first launch, and Agent Review now lets you choose which agent and model run the review.

Your projects now share one window #

Until now, opening another repository in Air meant opening another Air window. The new multiproject view puts multiple projects and their tasks in one place. The sidebar groups tasks by project, search covers the full task list, and each task keeps its project and branch visible as you move between them.

This changes the unit of navigation in Air from windows to tasks. Start an agent in your backend repo, switch to the frontend while it runs, and then jump to a completed task in a third project – all without losing track of which agent is working where. Running and completed tasks stay visible together, so you can coordinate multirepo work as one workflow instead of several disconnected Air sessions.

You can also group tasks by status to see what needs attention, what’s running, and what’s ready to review.

Markdown files now read like documents #

Air now renders any .md file with clear heading hierarchy, formatted lists, distinct code blocks, and syntax highlighting for commands, paths, and inline code.

It is still an ordinary Markdown file. The syntax recedes while you read and appears when you edit, making READMEs, plans, notes, and documentation easier to scan without parsing the formatting first.
