v1.6.0

This release is all about making working with requests easier and quicker. The editors intellisense helps you choose directives, fill in options, and find files with less typing.

Added

Directives can be completed without first typing a comment marker. Accepting @name after typing @na inserts # @name .
Press Ctrl+N in editor insert mode to show suggestions at the cursor. Use Up / Down to select an item and Tab or Enter to accept it.
After accepting a suggestion, the popup shows what can follow it. Choosing @auth opens auth modes, oauth2 opens its options, and grant= opens the supported grant types.
Header completion follows the same pattern. Accepting Content-Type opens value suggestions such as application/json.
Workflow steps and branches suggest request names for using= and run=.

You can use these suggestions to build directives such as:

# @auth oauth2 grant=client_credentials
# @settings http-version=2 followredirects=true

File and directory suggestions are now available for request bodies, script and body includes, gRPC descriptors, and TLS, SSH, and Kubernetes path options.

Suggestions are filtered by file type:

# @use modules/helpers.rts as helpers
# @query < queries/users.graphql
# @variables < data/users.json

Choosing a directory opens its contents. Relative paths start from the request file's directory, or the workspace for temporary documents.

Changed

Options that can appear only once disappear after use, including their aliases.
@compare suggestions follow the selected environment group. Baseline suggestions use the comparison targets already chosen.
@apply use= can still be repeated, but profiles already selected are omitted.
Dynamic helpers with example calls now insert the call and select only its arguments for replacement.
Variable completion adds missing closing braces. Completing {{ho, {{ho}, or {{ho}} with host produces {{host}}.
In editor insert mode, Ctrl+N controls completion. Outside insert mode, the configured New Request shortcut still applies.
The built-in help and bottom command bar include the completion shortcut.

Fixed

Completing an existing header name preserves its value and spacing without duplicating the colon or remaining name.
Completing a URL scheme preserves the rest of the URL without duplicating existing scheme text.
Request, profile, and environment names containing spaces are quoted when inserted.
Baseline suggestions work with flat environment files.
Completion inside expressions and helper arguments preserves the surrounding text and existing arguments.
Editing inside a name while the popup is open keeps the replacement range current, preventing completion from removing closing braces.
Accepting a suggestion before an existing space continues to the next argument.
Completing one entry in a list of file paths preserves the other entries.
