0.2.0

Enough has changed to bump the version. We're skipping 0.1.x because previously the CLI would always report version as 0.1.0, and we'd like to distinguish it in bug reports..

  • Registers can now be selected via " (for example "ay)

  • Support for Nix files was added

  • A per-file LSP symbol picker was added to space+s

  • Selection can be replaced with yanked text via R

  • 1g now correctly goes to line 1

  • ctrl-i now correctly jumps backwards in history

  • A small memory leak was fixed, where we tried to reuse tree-sitter query cursors, but always allocated a new one

  • Auto-formatting is now only on for certain languages

  • The root directory is now provided in LSP initialization, fixing certain language servers (typescript)

  • LSP failing to start no longer panics

  • Elixir language queries were fixed

0.0.10

Keymaps:

  • Add mappings to jump to diagnostics
