# Aider v0.68.0: copy-paste mode for LLM web chat UIs, provider keys in config

> New `--copy-paste` mode and `/copy-context` command let you drive aider against a browser chat UI instead of an API. API keys and arbitrary environment variables for any provider can now be set from the command line or the YAML config file.

## What changed


- `--copy-paste` mode and `/copy-context` command for working against LLM web chat UIs
- `--api-key provider=key` and `--set-env VAR=value`, usable from CLI or the YAML config file
- bash and zsh support in `--watch-files`
- Control-D exits properly
- Token costs no longer counted when the provider returns a hard error
- Fixes: watch files on file types without tree-sitter support; o1 models usable as the weak model
- Better dependency-missing errors for Gemini and Bedrock
- Command line arguments regrouped with improved help text
- Self-upgrade uses the exact `sys.python`
- Experimental Gemini models added
