We're excited to announce Hoppscotch v2025.6.0, packed with new features and improvements to enhance your API testing experience.

Improved Variable Scope

Environment variables in Hoppscotch now support initial and current values, allowing you to set default values for your variables that can be overridden at runtime. When current values are not set, the initial values will be used.

You can copy all or one-by-one variable's current to initial and vice versa.

• Initial Value: This is the default value for the variable, which can be set when creating or editing the variable.
• Current Value: This is the value that will be used at runtime. If not set, the initial value will be used.
• Note: Initial values are set by workspace members with roles Owner and Editor. Current values can be set by any user.
• Note: Current values are not synced to the team and are only available to the user who set them.

Keyboard Shortcuts for Desktop App

The Hoppscotch desktop app now supports keyboard shortcuts for various actions, making it easier to navigate and use the app efficiently.

Here are some of the keyboard shortcuts you can use in the desktop app:

• Ctrl/Cmd + T: Open new tab
• Ctrl/Cmd + W: Close current tab
• Ctrl/Cmd + Alt + Left: Navigate to previous tab
• Ctrl/Cmd + Alt + Right: Navigate to next tab
• Ctrl/Cmd + 9: Corresponds to (, navigate to the left-most tab
• Ctrl/Cmd + 0: Corresponds to ), navigate to the right-most tab
