This is a release candidate build.
This release candidate build seems to be working very well for me, even when copied into an existing Cmder\vendor\clink directory. Be sure to make a backup copy of your Cmder installation before copying Clink into an existing Cmder installation!
(Yes, it's been hovering in release candidates for a while. That's because bugs keep being found that are important enough to fix before an official release. The goal is for this to be a quality-driven release, more than a date-driven release.)
Highlights for v1.1.24:
autoforterminal.emulationnow uses native VT support on Windows 10 build 15063 and higher, unless the HKCU\Console\ForceV2 regkey is 0.- Special quote handling now enables
"dir\"fito complete to"dir\file". CMD simply strips quotes during completion, and now Clink behaves similarly. - Breaking Change:
line:getword()andline:getendword()now strip quotes from the word. This should generally automagically make existing match generators work even with embedded quotes, but there's a chance that some match generator might need to be updated. This seems like a reasonable compromise, given the general benefit purchased by this breaking change. os:globdirs()andos:globfile()strip quotes from the globpattern in order to behave more like CMD. Embedded quotes are nonsensical and the intended interpretation is clear, so the APIs now help out with that.- Fixed #66; crash when injecting into 32 bit cmd.
- Fixed #64; wrong cursor position when PROMPT contains BEL character.
- Fixed #62; argmatchers should color
-x:"foo"as a flag if-x:is a flag. - Fixed #61; argmatchers should not handle completion for text immediately following
-flag:. Instead it always uses file completion. A custom generator can be used to override that behavior. - Fixed #60; completion fails with multiple slashes.
- Fixed completion in some circumstances. Readline and Clink didn't always agree on where the word breaks were; now Clink always tells Readline where the word breaks are (so that completion, input colorization, and lua scripts can all work properly and consistently).
- Fixed 256 color ANSI codes.
