  • Improve the performance when scrolling.
  • Disable/enable the cursor less often when redrawing the text of the editor.
  • Just check once if the parent process is man when needed, not at every editor start.
  • Seldom allocate memory when rendering and highlighting text.

Fixes

  • Use atomic bools to fix a race condition.
  • Improve how signal handlers are cleared and set up.
  • Adjust the logic for when the undo buffer is full.

Look and feel

  • Highlight the current line when moving up and down with the arrow keys.
  • Improve a status message for the Nano/Pico compatibility mode.
  • Remove Toggle status bar from the ctrl-o menu, but add a Toggle block editing option.
  • Stop ctrl-g from toggling multiline/block editing.
  • Let ctrl-g toggle the status bar if no definition is found (like it was before).
  • Let ctrl-space toggle between Nroff and Man page mode (experimental feature).
  • Also support home, end, pgup, pgdown and ctrl-insert (as an "undocumented feature").
  • Let ctrl-g also try to jump to a matching parenthesis or bracket (only for characters currently on screen, for now).

  • Improve single line comment syntax highlighting in Elm.
  • Improve syntax highlighting for configuration files.

  • Add a new theme named Orb.
