Releases: curlpipe/ox
0.4.3 - Editing Improvements
Some great editing improvements and other fixes
Added ➕
- Line swapping with Alt Up / Alt Down
- Bracket and quote pair plug-in (e.g. opening bracket will spawn a closing bracket)
- Auto indentation plug-in to make indentation happen automatically in the correct places
- Delete word command with Ctrl W
Fixed 🔧
- Fixed 3 modifiers from being used, so now you can bind Ctrl Shift Key and other combinations
- Removed the error that occurred whenever a shift key pair was used
0.4.2 - Increased Configurability
This is quite a big update that generally involves more powerful configuration ability.
Added ➕
- Commands are now exclusively defined in the config file (no more hard-coded ones)
- Custom syntax highlighting, so you can extend it to support file types that aren't supported by default
- Expanded editor API that now allows for getting text from the document, more advanced cursor moving and more fields to check the state of the document and editor
Fixed 🔧
- Updated README format
- Fixed error when inserting quotes into the editor
- Fixed issues with editor API where trying to query or edit lines that haven't been loaded yet (due to file buffering) crash the editor.
0.4.1 - Light fixes to syntax highlighting
Just some fixes here and there, also check out the updated documentation on plugins in the wiki here
Added ➕
- Latex syntax highlighting support
Fixed 🔧
- Nushell syntax highlighting issues
- Markdown syntax highlighting issues
- Error that came up whenever backspace was pressed
0.4.0 - Plug-ins, custom commands and increased configurability
The main thing in this update is the ability to write macros, customise key bindings and write your own commands.
~/.oxrc
, this is due to a change in how the configuration file is used. The syntax and documentation are still valid, so your configuration file will likely not require a huge rewrite when updating.
Added ➕
- Key bindings can now be modified from the configuration file to your preference
- You can now build macros (or plug-ins) within the config file and have them run when a command or key binding is pressed
Fixed 🔧
- Cleaned up the code a bit (errors are now better handled)
0.3.4 - Updated syntax highlighting
Also, note the new documentation in the wiki
Added ➕
- New version of synoptic, which now includes syntax highlighting for
nushell
Fixed 🔧
- Fixed help message being slightly incorrectly formatted
0.3.3
0.3.2
Update to add a few handy features and a command line with a help message
Added: ➕
- Readonly flag to set files to read only (see help on CLI for more info on how to use it)
- Filetype flag to set file's filetype (see help on CLI for more info on how to use it)
- A command line to run certain commands while the editor is open
- A toggleable help message to help new users
Fixed: 🔧
- Incorrect naming on CLI help message
0.3.1 - Bug fixes and handy features
Just a quick update to fix a few bugs and add a few core features
Added: ➕
- If you try to open files that don't exist, Ox will create them as a new file that will write to disk when you save
- You can now delete text with the delete key
Fixed: 🔧
- Fixed resizing issues causing cursor to go out of bounds
- Fixed editor crashing when opening markdown files
0.3.0 - Rewrite that has been 4 years in the making
It's been a long time since I touched this repository, but I was working in the background when I had free time trying to build a stronger, more reliable and robust backend.
Now I would like to present Ox 0.3.0, which has seen a complete rework from 0.2.7 which has a reputation for being extremely glitchy.
There may still be some issues, but the backend is much better tested and won't have bugs that are as extreme as previous versions (I hope).
It uses Kaolinite for its backend and Synoptic for syntax highlighting.
It includes the following benefits over the previous:
- Huge efficiency boost - it now uses a rope data structure, which is very efficient and integrates file buffering to avoid long loading times
- Lua configuration - more well established than RON and my own proprietary configuration language, and puts it on par with neovim (almost)
- Well-tested backend and modular design - a lot of the functionality I originally tried to cram into a single codebase has instead been spread over various crates, each with their own test suites that have a strong reputation of passing
The rest of it is largely the same, but I have some plans to extend it in the future (time permitting)
0.2.7
0.2.7
Comments
This is an update that focussed on very small elements of existing features to make them less annoying. Nothing new was really added, but the existing features have been greatly improved. From huge improvements in efficiency to better language highlighting and support. It took a long time but it was hopefully worth it.
Next Update
Next update will focus on adding mouse support. One of the major burdens of the editor is that it is a pain to copy and cut text from it. Also navigating files for those who aren't used to keyboard navigation is a pain. It will also add extra language support for several popular programming languages.
