 This new release introduces the "welcome screen". The welcome screen is a friendly menu, intended to be run on terminal startup and allow users to either:
 1. Start a new session (optionally with a specific name or in a chosen folder)
 2. Attach to a running session

 This release includes a complete rework of Zellij's built-in filepicker, Strider. The filepicker allows users to quickly browse through their filesystem, opening files in their default editor in new Zellij panes or opening a terminal in a specific location.
 
-With the help of [pipes](#pipes), one can use this filepicker to interactively choose a file or folder in the filesystem and pipe the result to another command through a traditional shell pipe. For example: `zpipe filepicker | xargs -i cp {} my-chosen-file`.

 The filepicker can also be used from within other plugins to offload filepicking functionality rather than have the plugin implement it on its own. In fact, this is exactly what the welcome screen does in the example at the top of this post.

 Pipes also integrate seamlessly with existing shell pipes, providing flow control and giving plugin authors the ability to visualize data from the command line, allow users to pause a command line pipe mid-stream on certain messages or on a keystroke. We believe this functionality will help utilize the full 2 dimensions of the terminal window as never before, popping up floating panes in certain conditions and creating a many-to-many windowed pipeline. We look forward to seeing what plugin authors come up with!
 
 ## Open Floating Panes at Specific Coordinates
-A much requested feature after the introduction of floating panes, was to be able to open floating panes at specific coordinates and at specific sizes. Ths is now possible from the CLI (either with fixed numbers or percentage of the viewport): `zellij run --width 50 --height 20% -x 10% -y 50%`, from other plugins or from a keybinding.

 ## Rearrange Tabs
 Thanks to a community contribution, it's now possible to change the position of tabs. One can move the active tab left or right, by default with `Alt i` or `Alt o`.
 
 ## Disconnect other Clients
-Zellij, as a true multiplayer application, allows more than one user to attach to a running session. When this happens, each user gets their own cursor and the UI indicates in which pane or tab they are focused. Since by necessity the smallest screen width/height is used in such cases, it is sometimes desirable to log out other users from the session. This is now possible through the `session-manager`: `Ctrl o` to open the session manager, and then `Ctrl x` to disconnect other users.

 ## Plugin Aliases
 This version introduces "Plugin Aliases" which are a way to shorten the long plugin URLs (eg. `https://example.com/my-plugin.wasm`, or `file:/home/aram/code/plugin/my-plugin.wasm`) to something more memorable (eg. `filter` or `filepicker`). These aliases can be defined in the [configuration file](/documentation/configuration.html), and used wherever plugin URLs can be used: to launch plugins from the CLI, from layouts or from other plugins.

 ## New Possible Keys to Bind
-Thanks to some community contributions, it is not possible to bind `Ctrl`/`Alt` + Function keys (eg. `Ctrl F1`), as well as `Ctrl Space`. We as Zellij maintainers are aware that colliding keybindings are a big problem for many users and intend to fully and finally address this issue in the next version.
