## About this Devlog
|
||||
|
||||
I try to keep a log of major (and some minor) changes and new features
|
||||
going into flow as I work on them.
|
||||
|
||||
You can [subscribe to this page via
|
||||
RSS]($link.page('devlog').alternative('rss')) and find more devlog entries

# [Release 0.7.0 🎉]($section.id("2026-02-13T09:21:56+01:00"))
|
||||
|
||||
We kick off the new Year with a major release!
|
||||
|
||||
[]($video.asset('2026-02-13_flow-0.7.0_teaser.mp4').controls(true))
|
||||
|
||||
## Completion
|
||||
|
||||
Flow now has full **inline auto completion** support! There is a new
|
||||
dropdown UI with support for insert and replace completion styles while
|
||||
editing inline. An info popup box can display completion and hover
|
||||
documentation and there are commands to toggle modes and styles
|
||||
interactively.
|
||||
|
||||
There are three completion trigger modes available:
|
||||
- `manual` - completion is triggered via keybind to the `completion` command
|
||||
- `automatic` - completion is triggered whenever a trigger character is inserted
|
||||
- `every_keystroke` - completion is triggered on every insert operation
|
||||
|
||||
Trigger characters are provided by the current document's LSP. Note that a
|
||||
completion request may not always return results and in that case no
|
||||
completion UI will be shown. Completion items that insert LSP snippets are
|
||||
now supported and the next snippet tab stop can be selected with the `tab`
|
||||
key. There are two keybind modes for inline completion. `standard` mode
|
||||
will steal the `up/down` and `enter` keys from the main editor and
|
||||
`noninvasive` mode that will not. `noninvasive` mode requires that you use
|
||||
the alternate keybindings `ctrl+n`/`ctrl+p` to pick a completion item
|
||||
and `tab` to select it. These keybindings also work in `standard` mode.
|
||||
|
||||
The original palette style completion UI is also still available and may be
|
||||
selected with the `toggle_completion_style` command.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Keybinds:
|
||||
- `ctrl+space` or `ctrl+.` - manually trigger completion
|
||||
- `ctrl+space` (when completing) - toggle info box, info panel or no info
|
||||
- `up`, `down`, `ctrl+p`, `ctrl+n` - pick a completion item from the list
|
||||
- `enter`, `tab` - select and insert a completion
|
||||
- `esc` - cancel completion
|
||||
- `ctrl+k r` - toggle insert or replace completion mode
|
||||
- `alt+f9` - select next completion dropdown UI widget style
|
||||
- `shift+alt+f9` - select next info box widget style
|
||||
|
||||
Configuration options:
|
||||
- `completion_trigger`
|
||||
- `completion_style`
|
||||
- `completion_insert_mode`
|
||||
- `completion_info_mode`
|
||||
- `dropdown_keybinds` - `standard` or `noninvasive`
|
||||
- `dropdown_limit`
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Vertical Splits
|
||||
|
||||
Flow Control can now show multple editors in vertical, side by side, views.
|
||||
Each split can have it's own tab bar and tabs may be moved between splits
|
||||
with mouse or keyboard commands. Commands or palettes that navigate to
|
||||
files now have an "alternate" mode that will open the file in a new split
|
||||
if it is not already open.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Keybinds:
|
||||
- `ctrl+\` - add_split
|
||||
- `ctrl+k w` - close_split
|
||||
- `ctrl+1` to `ctrl+8` - focus_split
|
||||
- `ctrl+page_down` - select tab right
|
||||
- `ctrl+page_up` - select tab left
|
||||
- `ctrl+shift+page_down` - move tab right
|
||||
- `ctrl+shift+page_up` - move tab left
|
||||
- `shift+enter` - (palette or command) navigate to file in a new split
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Centered View
|
||||
|
||||
When only one split is open on a wide screen you can now center the view.
|
||||
The width of the centered view is controllable with keybinds and/or the
|
||||
`centered_view_width` configuration option.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Keybinds:
|
||||
- `ctrl+k x` - toggle centered view
|
||||
- `alt+-` - shrink centered view
|
||||
- `alt+=` - expand centered view
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Horizontal scrolling
|
||||
|
||||
Horizontal scrolling with a horizontal mouse wheel is now supported. Also,
|
||||
scrolling the regular vertical mouse wheel with the `shift` key pressed
|
||||
will now scroll horizontally. Fast scroll (hold the 'alt' key) is also
|
||||
supported for horizontal scrolling.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Git Diffs
|
||||
|
||||
Diff markers in the editor gutter are now based on the git HEAD commit if
|
||||
the current project is a git repository. Also, the new commands
|
||||
`goto_next_change` and `goto_prev_change` will move the primary cursor to
|
||||
the next/previous marker in the gutter.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Keybinds:
|
||||
- `alt+f5` - goto_next_change
|
||||
- `alt+shift+f5` - goto_prev_change
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Blame
|
||||
|
||||
Git blame information for the current line is displayed in the remaining on
|
||||
the line. This can be toggled with the `toggle_inline_vcs_blame` command.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Keybinds:
|
||||
- `ctrl+shift+g alt+b` - toggle_inline_vcs_blame
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Variable Expansions
|
||||
|
||||
Tasks and `filter` bindings may now use variable expansions in their
|
||||
arguments. Variable names to be expanded should be wrapped in `{{` and
|
||||
`}}`.
|
||||
|
||||
The following variables are available in this release:
|
||||
|
||||
- `{{project}}` - The path to the current project directory
|
||||
- `{{file}}` - The path to the current file
|
||||
- `{{line}}` - The line number of the primary cursor
|
||||
- `{{column}}` - The column of the primary cursor
|
||||
- `{{selection}}` - The current selection of the primary cursor
|
||||
- `{{selections}}` - All current selections seperated by NL characters
|
||||
- `{{selectionsZ}}` - All current selections separated by NULL characters
|
||||
- `{{indent_mode}}` - The current indent mode (`tabs` or `spaces`)
|
||||
- `{{indent_size}}` - The current indent size (in columns)
|
||||
- `{{blame_commit}}` - The blame commit ID for the line at the primary cursor (if there is one)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Highlight References
|
||||
|
||||
Added support for the LSP `textDocument/documentHighlight` request as the
|
||||
`highlight_references` command. Flow will automatically mark the results of
|
||||
this query as matches so you can use the the `goto_next_match` and
|
||||
`goto_prev_match` commands to navigate them. `highlight_references` is also
|
||||
available as an idle action for automatic reference highlighting (See the
|
||||
Idle Actions secion below)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Keybinds:
|
||||
- `ctrl+k i`
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Auto Run Commands, Auto Backups & Session Saving
|
||||
|
||||
`auto_run_commands` and `auto_run_time_seconds` can be used to configure
|
||||
commands that will run automatically like a cron job. `save_session` and
|
||||
`save_session_quiet` commands were also added to make auto run useful as a
|
||||
backup tool.
|
||||
|
||||
The default configuration for `auto_run_commands` is `save_session_quiet`
|
||||
and the default for `auto_run_time_seconds` is 120, so in the (rare!) event
|
||||
of a flow crash you can return to flow with minimal data loss with `flow
|
||||
--restart-session`.
|
||||
|
||||
The `save_session_and_quit` command was also added for when you want to
|
||||
manuall exit and restart flow with `flow --restart-session`.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Idle Actions & Commands
|
||||
|
||||
Idle actions & commands run whenever the user pauses their interaction with
|
||||
flow. Actions are specific functions designed to run on idle. At the moment
|
||||
just `hover` and `highlight_references`. These actions have commands to
|
||||
toggle them interactively. The idle timeout is configured with the
|
||||
`input_idle_time_ms` option.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Find Mode
|
||||
|
||||
There are now three find modes. Exact match, case folded (insensitive)
|
||||
and auto mode. Auto mode (the new default) selects to do an exact match
|
||||
search or case folded search depending on whether the query term contains
|
||||
case foldable characters or not. So if you enter a lowercase search term
|
||||
you get a case insensitive search. Also, auto find mode (which searches as
|
||||
soon as you select something) now has a command (and a keybind) to toggle
|
||||
it on/off.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Keybinds:
|
||||
- `alt+c` (in find mode) - toggle exact or case folded search mode
|
||||
- `alt+f3` - toggle auto find mode
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Hints
|
||||
|
||||
There is a new key hints overlay that displays all currently available
|
||||
keybindings. It can be explicitly activated with `alt+f1` or `ctrl+?`, and
|
||||
will be automatically displayed when an incomplete keybinding sequence is
|
||||
waiting for additional input. The key hints overlay is invisible to mouse
|
||||
events and can be active in any flow input mode or submode.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Keybinds:
|
||||
- `alt+f1` or `ctrl+?` - show/hide the key hints overlay
|
||||
- `shift+f1` or `ctrl+alt+?` - next key hints page
|
||||
- `shift+alt+f9` - next widget style for key hints
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Restart with Sudo
|
||||
|
||||
You can now restart the flow session with `sudo` to save files with root
|
||||
permissions. The current session, with unsaved file content (but currently
|
||||
not undo info), is first saved and then automatically restored when flow is
|
||||
restarted by sudo. If the `sudo` command fails for any reason the saved
|
||||
flow session can be reloaded as usual with `flow --restart-session`. Flow
|
||||
now displays a red lock symbol in the status bar and a (configurable)
|
||||
warning message on the home screen when running with root permissions.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Symlinks
|
||||
|
||||
Flow can now follow symlinks when writing files and scanning the project
|
||||
tree. New options `retain_symlinks`, `follow_directory_symlinks` and
|
||||
`maximum_symlink_depth` control symlink behavior. Symlink following on file
|
||||
save (`retain_symlinks`) is now enabled by default.
|
||||
`follow_directory_symlinks` when scanning the project tree is not enabled
|
||||
by default.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Symbols Palette
|
||||
|
||||
Added support for the LSP `textDocument/documentSymbol` request with a
|
||||
palette interface to browse and filter symbols in the current document.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Keybinds:
|
||||
- `ctrl+shift+o` - open the symbols palette
|
||||
- `enter` - jump to the highlighted symbol
|
||||
- `shift+enter` - select the highlighted symbol
|
||||
- `up/down/pgup/pgdn/home/end` - browse the symbols list
|
||||
- `anything else` - filter the symbols list with a fuzzy search
|
||||
- `esc` - cancel and return to original document location
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Project switching
|
||||
|
||||
Switching projects without exiting Flow Control (`ctrl+r`) now restores
|
||||
open tabs and splits making for a much smoother multi-project workflow.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Last Palette
|
||||
|
||||
You can now re-open the last used palette with the `last_palette` command.
|
||||
This restores the state of the palette when last used, which is very
|
||||
useful, for example, for browsing through multiple files that match a fuzzy
|
||||
query.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Keybinds:
|
||||
- `ctrl+,` - open lasted used palette
|
||||
- [helix] `space '` - open lasted used palette
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Goto Matching Bracket
|
||||
|
||||
Added the classic goto matching bracket command.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Keybinds:
|
||||
- flow - `ctrl+shift+\`
|
||||
- emacs - `C-M-p C-M-n`
|
||||
- vim - `%`
|
||||
- helix - `mm`
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Reflow text
|
||||
|
||||
The `reflow` command can soft wrap paragraphs of text. There is basic
|
||||
detection of the line prefix to aid in reflowing indented or commented
|
||||
blocks of text. Blank lines are preserved as paragraph boundaries. The
|
||||
default line width for `reflow` is configured with the `reflow_width`
|
||||
config option and can also be specified for the current, and any following,
|
||||
`reflow` operation with an integer command parameter. (`alt+1`, etc.)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Keybinds:
|
||||
- `alt+q` - reflow paragraph
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## LSP Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
The `open_lsp_config_global` and `open_lsp_config_project` will open a json
|
||||
file where you can add LSP configuration that is sent to the LSP on startup
|
||||
via the LSP `initializationOptions` init request field. Project and global
|
||||
configurations are not merged in anyway and project config overrides global
|
||||
config entirely. The project (and global) LSP configuration is stored in
|
||||
the flow configuration directory, even for project specific config.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
