Xplr Versions Save

This pre-release is for testing the new vroot feature with --vroot, SetVroot, ResetVroot, and the on_* hooks defined as return { on_* = [ list, of, messages ]}

This pre-release is for testing the new return { on_load = { list, of, messages } } hook definition in config files, and also for trying the improved -m/-M API.

This pre-release is for testing the new messages Call*0, BashExec*0 and the CLI arguments xplr -m / --pipe-msg-in, xplr -M --print-msg-in.

Changes & fixes

• The builtin search will now default to skim-v2 based fuzzy matching.
• esc while in search mode will recover the initial focus (i.e. cancel the search).
• The following messages will be available for search based operations:
  • SearchFuzzy
  • SearchFuzzyFromInput
  • AcceptSearch
  • CancelSearch
• Quick scrolling operations are supported using the following messages and keys:
  • ScrollUp page-up
  • ScrollDown page-down
  • ScrollUpHalf {
  • ScrollDownHalf }

Note: People who prefer the old regex based search, can use the regex-search.xplr plugin.

Changes & fixes

Bug fixes for passing filters using the --on-load argument.

Changes & fixes

Fixed support for the following keys in input mode:

• ctrl-h
• ctrl-b
• ctrl-f
• home
• end
• ctrl-k

Changes & fixes

• You can now access uid and gid of the file owners in the Lua API. See column-renderer and node docs.
• The input buffer will support more readline-like keys. Also, added "DeleteTillEnd" as another cursor based "InputOperation" option. See tui-input v0.5.0 release.
• Fixed applying regex based filters via the CLI and $XPLR_PIPE_MSG_IN pipe. See issue #503.
• You can use the prompt field to define input prompt for each mode, instead of using the SetInputPrompt message. See init.lua changes.

Changes & fixes

• BREAKING: The builtin modes cannot be accessed using space separated names anymore. Use underscore separated mode names. For e.g. SwitchModeBuiltin: create file becomes SwitchModeBuiltin: create_file and so on.
• Fixed a bug with handling tab key in the input buffer.
• Added xplr.config.general.global_key_bindings to define a set of key bindings that are available by default in every mode. e.g esc and ctrl-c.
• Added new builtin mode go_to_path which can be used for typing or pasting paths to enter into or to focus on. Type g p to enter this mode.
• Added basic tab completion support for the go_to_path, create_file, create_directory, rename and duplicate_as modes.
• Use the builtin function xplr.fn.builtin.try_complete_path to add easy tab completion support into your own configuration.
• Fixed syncing current working directory with OSC 7 compatible terminals (e.g. Wezterm).
• The NO_COLOR environment variable also disables OSC 7.
• Significantly optimized regex based search and filter.
• The files table is a little compact now.
• Removed boilerplate config from the default init.lua.
• Minor input prompt related improvements in different modes.
