-## 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
-in the [archive](/devlog/).

-# [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.
