Focus 0.2.0

on GitHub

• BREAKING CHANGE: the default config is no longer used as a fallback for missing keymaps, so any keybinds you haven't listed explicitly in the global config won't be included. It's best to start with a fresh config if possible to ensure you have all the most recent options. In the future the plan is to have a config migration system which will add new options or rename/remove existing ones

• New features:

  • Line numbers can now be enabled (default shortcut is Alt-Shift-L). To enable permanently, use show_line_numbers: true in the config
  • Line wrap is now supported (use the toggle_line_wrap command - the default shortcut on Windows is Alt-Z). If you want line wrap to be on by default, use line_wrap_is_on_by_default: true. There is currently no way to enable line wrap for certain file types only, but that's coming later.
  • New command: toggle_block_comment (for the supported languages)
  • New command: autoindent_region (bound to Ctrl-Tab by default on Windows/Linux, Option-Tab on Mac). Works with the C-like languages we have syntax highlighting for. Should work similarly to Emacs.
  • New command: delete_current_file. Not bound to anything by default, but can be used from the commands dialog (thanks @SentientCoffee)
  • New command: save_as. Also not bound to any key combination by default (thanks @SentientCoffee)
  • New commands: move_to_previous_buffer, move_to_next_buffer. They work like normal editor history, but skip the cursor movements and jump right to the next buffer or layout change
  • New config option: cursor_blink_time_in_seconds (5 by default). Set to 0 if you don't want the cursors to blink at all.
  • It is now possible to paste whatever was copied with N cursors into another file as long as the number of cursors there is also N (thanks @hfr4)
  • Syntax highlighting for GLSL (thanks @SentientCoffee)
  • Syntax highlighting for Golang (thanks @OlyaIvanovs)
  • Linux: The Open Projects Directory command as well as shift-clicking files/directories in the "open file" dialogs (Ctrl+O, Ctrl+Shift+O, Ctrl+P) should now work.
    By default the editor will try to auto-detect the preferred file manager using the XDG utilities.
    In case the auto-detection fails you can manually set the commands to run via the explorer_command and explorer_reveal_command options in the "[[linux]]" section of the config file.
    Example:

        [[linux]]
        # '%s' is replaced with the path of the file/directory to open
        explorer_command:         konsole -e mc "%s"      # this command is used when opening a directory
        explorer_reveal_command:  nautilus --select "%s"  # this command is used when highlighting a specific file in a directory

• Bug fixes:

  • Focus will fall back to a slower hash function on CPUs which don't support AES instructions instead of crashing
  • When opening a file outside of workspace the editor should no longer scan its parent folder and its subfolders (but tell us if it still does)
  • Mac: Focus no longer collects window events when another window is active. This eliminates several bugs (Cmd+Tab spawning cursors, I-Beam cursor when using other apps) at the cost of no longer being able to vertically scroll unless Focus is active. For now.
  • Fixed a bug with the Navigate to file dialog being empty
  • Fixed a bug with global search not finding everything when case sensitive or whole word toggles are just turned on
  • Fixed several issues in the editor history
  • Linux: fixed a bug related to mouse cursor handling which caused slowdowns and cursor flickering on X11 (thanks @valignatev)
  • Linux: there's now a VERY basic save file dialog for new files (thanks @rexim)

• Other changes:

  • copy will now copy whole lines to clipboard if the config option copy_whole_line_without_selection is enabled in config
  • Delete-to-start/end-of-line commands now copy whatever was deleted
  • Added #ifdef/#ifndef highlighting to C/C++
  • Added #compile_time/#no_debug/#no_aoc highlighting to Jai
  • Multi-cursor line cuts will no longer include extra newlines
  • When adding cursors above/below it's now possible to easily remove the last added cursor by executing the opposite command (thanks @WWilliams741)
  • Added a notification about match case or match whole word toggles active when no search results found
  • When editor width is limited in settings, the non-editor part of the window will be colored using the background_dark color
  • Linux: The editor shoudn't use any CPU while idle.
  • Linux: timers are now supported. As a result some animations (such as the text cursor blinking) should now actually work as expected.
  • Linux: More robust and resilent mechanism to get user's locale and input method for X11 backend. Fix locale-related segfaults
  • Linux: Improve smooth scrolling performance.
  • Global search will now try to preserve search results and cursor position when searching using the same query
  • Windows: The editor window should open on the primary monitor by default
