Many features with new default keybindings have been added. Keybinding mentioned
in these release notes are for Flow mode unless otherwise mentioned. Please
check the command palette or the online command & keybinding reference
(ctrl+f2orctrl+k ctrl+s) for the active keybindings in other modes.LSP Completion
LSP completion suggestions support has been added. Completion requests are
triggered withctrl+spaceand supports fuzzy search of completion suggestions.
Accept a suggestiong withReturnorTab.Clipboard history
A history of cut & copy operations can be opened with
shift+alt+v. The history
is grouped by multi-cursor operations, so you can copy with multiple cursors and
then paste with a single cursor or multiple cursors. Paste operations now accept
an integer argument (alt+1,alt+2, etc.) to select a group from the history
to paste without first opening the clipboard history.Tabbar Tab Improvements
Tabs in the tabbar have received many quality of life improvements. There is now
a file type icon, and on hover, a close icon. Tabs can be dragged to a new
position with the mouse, or re-ordered with the keyboard with the new keybindings
ctrl+shift+page_upandctrl+shift+page_down. Recently closed tabs can be
re-opened withctrl+shift+t.AST selection & navigation improvements
The
expand_selectioncommand to expand the selection to the parent AST node
has been improved and now should work in any sitution.shrink_selectionand
the various sibling node selection commands will now select the node at the
cursor if there is no selection.Tasks
Tasks can now be added and deleted directly from the run task menu. Also the
run_taskcommand now accepts a string and with add and run a task in one step,
which is useful for running tasks directly from the command line. For example:flow --exec 'run_task:git grep -n TODO'Automatic Light & Dark mode selection
If your terminal supports it, flow will now select a theme to use based on the
system color scheme. The light mode and dark mode themes are independently
configurable. There is also a toggle command in flow to manually switch modes
bound toalt+f11, and a command line argument.Widget styles
Palettes and menus can now be display in a range of different styles. You can
switch through the available styles while a widget has focus with thealt+f9
keybinding. The selected widget style is persisted on a per widget type basis.Goto & Byte Offsets
The
gotomini mode now supports {row}:{column} syntax. Also, pressingbin
goto mini mode will toggle goto byte offset mode. Byte offsets are also
supported on the command line by prefixing the offset with the letter 'b'. For
example:flow src/main.zig:b123Also,
gotoandgoto_offsetcommands now accept integer parameters to directly
jump.Underline mode
Underline mode, triggered with
ctrl+_,ctrl+=orctrl+plus, will underline
the current line with various characters.Git status
A new git status palette lists changed and untracked files and lets you open
them. It may be opened with thectrl+shift+gkeybind or by clicking on the
git branch widget in the status bar.Kitty extensions for unicode widths & multi cursors
We now support kitty char width protocol extension for much better unicode
support in kitty. We also support kitty's multi-cursor protocol extensions to
show proper terminal cursors when editing with multiple cursors.Tab width settings
The tab width may now be interactively changed on a per buffer basis and there
are new commands to set the tab width for the current buffer, session and
globally.FreeBSD
We now produce binary release for FreeBSD, thanks to Zig 0.15 support for
FreeBSD cross-compilation.Win32 improvements
The win32 GUI renderer now supports wide characters. Also, filesystems without
proper support for fstat will work. This means flow now works correctly under
WSL1 and WSL2 on windows filesystems.Helix mode improvements
Helix mode has seen major improvments, mostly thanks to Igor Támara.
