fresh-editor 0.2.13

0.2.13

Features

• Inline Diagnostics: Diagnostic text displayed at end of lines, right-aligned, with version-aware staleness dropping. Disabled by default — enable "diagnostics inline text" in the Settings UI (#1175).

• Theme Editor Redesign: Virtual scrolling, mouse support, flicker-free inline styling. New "Inspect Theme at Cursor" command and Ctrl+Right-Click theme info popup.

• Open File Jump: path:line[:col] syntax in Open File prompt and Quick Open (#1081, #1149).

Improvements

• Plugin API: registerHandler() replacing globalThis pattern, restartLspForLanguage, process-limits for registerLspServer, async reloadGrammars(). Strict TypeScript across all plugins.

• Load Plugin from Buffer: Run and hot-reload plugins directly from an open buffer, with LSP support for plugin dev buffers.

• Status Bar Toggle: Command palette command and config option to show/hide the status bar.

• LSP Environment Variables: Pass environment variables to LSP server binaries via config (#1159).

fresh-editor 0.2.12

0.2.12

Features

• Auto-Close Config: Separate auto_close toggle (default: true) to independently control bracket/quote auto-close, skip-over, and pair deletion — previously coupled to auto_indent. Per-language overrides via languages.<lang>.auto_close (#1144).

• Surround Selection: Typing an opening delimiter with a selection wraps it instead of replacing it (e.g. selecting hello and typing ( produces (hello)). Controlled by auto_surround config with per-language overrides.

• Smart Quote Suppression: Quotes typed inside an existing string no longer auto-close, preventing unwanted doubled quotes (#1142).

• Read-Only Mode: Files without write permission and library/toolchain paths (rustup, /usr/include, /nix/store, Homebrew Cellar, .nuget, Xcode SDKs) automatically open as read-only. New "Toggle Read Only" command to override. Status bar shows [RO] indicator.

Bug Fixes

• Multi-Cursor Enter: Fixed Enter key in markdown mode only inserting a newline at the last cursor, ignoring secondary cursors. Falls back to built-in insert_newline when multiple cursors are active (#1140).

• Multi-Cursor Position Drift: Fixed cursors with no events during bulk edits (e.g. Delete at end of buffer) drifting to stale positions. Uses saturating arithmetic to prevent overflow with overlapping selections (#1140).

Improvements

• Log Noise Reduction: Disabled span close events (~90% of log volume) by default and moved 12 high-frequency log sites to trace level. Typical log size reduced from ~266MB to ~5-10MB. Set FRESH_LOG_SPANS=1 to re-enable (#1154).

Internal

• Added multi-cursor shadow model property-based tests with random operation sequences across 2-3 cursors.
• Added e2e regression tests for multi-cursor Enter with auto_indent, Ctrl+D selection, tree-sitter, and markdown grammar.

fresh-editor 0.2.11

0.2.11

Features

• Whitespace Indicators: Granular control over whitespace visibility — configure space (·) and tab (→) indicators independently for leading, inner, and trailing positions. Master toggle, per-language overrides, and a new whitespace_indicator_fg theme color.

• Indent-Based Code Folding: Code folding now works in large file mode and for files without LSP folding ranges, using indentation analysis as a fallback. Fold from any line within a block (not just the header). Unified byte-offset pipeline for consistent gutter indicators.

• Session Open-File Enhancements: --wait flag blocks the CLI until the user dismisses a popup or closes the buffer — enables use as git core.editor. Range selection syntax (file:L-EL, file:L:C-EL:EC) and hover messages (file:L@"markdown msg") for annotated file opening. Auto-attaches a client when open-file starts a new session.

• GUI: macOS Native Integration (experimental): Native menu bar with dynamic when/checkbox conditions, Cmd keybindings (macos-gui keymap), app icon, and .app bundle resources. Menu tracking detection prevents state mutations from causing menu jumps.

• Platform Icons: Application icons for Windows .exe, Linux .deb/.rpm packages, and macOS app bundles.

Bug Fixes

• Bracket Highlight Hanging on Large Files: Bracket matching now caps scanning at 1MB and uses 16KB bulk reads instead of byte-at-a-time, preventing hangs on large files.

• Markdown Plugin Activation: Plugin now activates based on buffer language (not just file extension), fixing cases where Set Language to markdown didn't enable smart editing (#1117). Reverse bullet cycling on Shift+Tab now works correctly (#1116).

• Settings UI: Fixed Save button mouse click not closing the dialog. Fixed Reset button not showing confirmation dialog. Fixed Discard dialog persisting on reopen.

• Active Tab Styling Bleed: Fixed active tab border color bleeding through dropdown menus.

• Cursor Corruption on Tab Click: Fixed hardware cursor appearing at wrong position when clicking a tab in an inactive split.

• Comment Delimiter Colors: Fixed comment delimiter characters (e.g. //) using the wrong color in syntax highlighting.

• Scroll Events Routing: Fixed mouse scroll events going to the file explorer panel regardless of mouse position.

• File Explorer Border: Fixed hover/drag bugs on the file explorer resize border.

• Windows Named Pipe Crash: Fixed crash in Server::handle_new_connection on Windows.

• Bar/Underline Cursor Invisible: Fixed bar and underline cursor styles being invisible on characters due to REVERSED modifier creating a block-like highlight (#851).

• Wrapped Line Viewport Scroll: Fixed viewport scroll limit counting logical lines instead of visual rows, causing erratic scrolling, skipped wrapped rows, and stuck End key with line wrap enabled (#1147).

• Search on Large Files: Fixed multi-GB memory consumption, O(N²) offset accumulation, and search scan never completing when capped at max matches. Chunked incremental search, viewport-only overlays, and 100K match cap (#1146).

• macOS Menu Hover Jump: Fixed menu bar jumping to leftmost menu during hover by using WaitUntil instead of Poll and caching menu item states.

Improvements

• Status log and warning log buffers are now read-only.
• Replaced buffer_modified JS plugin with native Rust diff indicators, eliminating JS↔Rust round-trips on every edit/scroll.

Internal

• Folding system refactored to use byte offsets instead of line numbers for gutter indicators, fixing consistency issues in large file mode.
• Unified fold indicator pipeline shared between LSP-based and indent-based folding.
• Fixed Nix build: include PNG files in source filter for GUI icon resources.

fresh-editor 0.2.9

0.2.9

Features

• Code Folding: Fold/unfold code blocks via LSP foldingRange. Per-view fold state, gutter indicators for collapsed ranges, fold-aware scrolling. Toggle via command palette ("Toggle Fold") (#900). Thanks @asukaminato0721 !

• Large File Line Numbers: Large files show byte offsets in gutter/status bar until scanned. On-demand parallel line index scanning (via Ctrl+G prompt or "Scan Line Index" command) gives exact line numbers with progress indicator. Remote scanning counts newlines server-side without data transfer.

• Markdown Source Editing: New plugin for smart Markdown source-mode editing — auto-continues list items on Enter (bullets, ordered lists, checkboxes), removes empty markers, Tab indents + cycles bullet style (#1095).

• GUI mode - can run without terminal (highly experimental): GPU-accelerated windowed mode via winit + wgpu. Build with --features gui and run with --gui to try it.

Improvements

• Smart Backspace Dedent: Backspace in leading whitespace removes one indent unit (tab_size spaces or 1 tab) instead of a single character.

• Diagnostics Panel: Up/Down now scrolls the editor to preview diagnostic location. Enter jumps and focuses the editor.

• Glob Patterns in Language Config: filenames field now supports glob patterns (*.conf, *rc, /etc/**/rc.*) for extensionless file detection (#1083).

• Disabled single-quote auto-close in Markdown files (interferes with apostrophes).

Bug Fixes

• Auto-Indent: Fixed tab_size setting ignored for auto-indent; fixed indent level lost on normal statement lines; fixed Go auto-dedent using spaces instead of tabs (#1068); fixed Python nested indent after consecutive : lines (#1069).

• File Explorer Dotfiles: Fixed dotfiles always visible regardless of "Show hidden files" toggle. Config show_hidden/show_gitignored now applied on init (#1079).

• LSP Toggle Desync: Fixed state corruption when toggling LSP off/on — now sends didClose so re-enable gets fresh didOpen (#952).

• LSP Client Capabilities: Now advertises all supported capabilities including publishDiagnostics, enabling diagnostics from strict servers like pyright (#1006).

• LSP Status Indicator: Fixed status bar indicator disappearing after each request completion (#952).

• Set Language: Fixed command storing display name instead of canonical ID, breaking LSP config lookups (#1078).

• Escape Sequences in Client Mode: Fixed mouse codes, Shift+Tab, and standalone ESC not working in fresh -a attach mode (#1089).

• Client Mode Terminal Reset: Fixed terminal not fully restored on exit in client mode (#1089).

• Ctrl+End with Line Wrap: Fixed viewport not scrolling to trailing empty line; fixed Down arrow not reaching it (#992).

• Diagnostics Panel Windows Paths: Fixed file URIs not decoded properly on Windows (#1071).

• Debug Keyboard Dialog: Fixed not capturing keys in client/server mode (#1089).

Performance

• Replaced linear span lookups in syntax highlighting with O(1) amortized cursor.
• Eliminated JSON round-trip and JS re-parsing in plugin hook dispatch (~16% CPU reduction).
• Path-copying PieceTree mutations with structural diff via Arc::ptr_eq — O(edit regions) instead of O(all leaves).
• Viewport-aware filtering and batch API for large file gutter indicators (~780K IPC commands → ~50 per edit).

Internal

• Update flake.nix to rust 1.92.0
• Split GUI backend into separate fresh-gui crate.
• Unified language detection with DetectedLanguage struct and single apply_language() mutation point.
• CI now runs clippy with --all-features to lint GUI code.

fresh-editor 0.2.5

0.2.5

Features

• Persistent Auto-Save: New auto_save_enabled config option (default: false) to automatically save modified buffers to their original file at a configurable interval (auto_save_interval_secs, default: 30s) (#542)

• Smart Home: Home key now uses smart home behavior by default, toggling between the first non-whitespace character and column 0. On soft-wrapped lines, smart home respects visual line boundaries instead of jumping to the physical line start (#1064).

Bug Fixes

• Diff View Scrollbar: Fixed scrollbar click-to-jump and thumb drag not working in side-by-side diff views. Composite buffer views now use row-based scrolling via CompositeViewState.

• Terminal Bracket Paste: Fixed pasted text going into the editor buffer instead of the terminal PTY when in terminal mode (#1056).

• LSP did_open Reliability: Fixed buffer being incorrectly marked as LSP-opened when the did_open send fails, which prevented retry and could corrupt server document state.

• Remote Editing Data Loss: Fixed intermittent data loss when loading large files via SSH remote editing on macOS. The bounded channel now uses backpressure instead of silently dropping data when the buffer overflows (#1059).

Configuration

• Renamed auto_save_interval_secs (recovery) to auto_recovery_save_interval_secs to distinguish it from the new persistent auto-save feature. Added auto_recovery_save_interval_secs config option (default: 2s).

Internal

• Introduced typed LeafId and ContainerId wrappers around SplitId to enforce leaf-vs-container constraints at compile time.
• Enabled #![deny(clippy::let_underscore_must_use)] crate-wide; all ignored Result values now have explicit annotations or proper error handling.
• Made request_completion and request_signature_help infallible, removing dead Result return types.
• Added CONTRIBUTING.md with development guidelines.

fresh-editor 0.2.4

0.2.4

Features

• Markdown Compose Mode: Distraction-free writing mode with concealed markup, soft breaks, table rendering, and mouse support. Split-view allows editing source and rendered markdown side-by-side with synchronized scrolling.

• Vertical Rulers: Configurable column rulers with add/remove commands via command palette. Per-buffer state and Settings UI JSON editor support (#1028).

• Horizontal Scrollbar: New horizontal scrollbar with drag support and toggle commands (#972).

• Smooth Scrolling: Cursor movement now scrolls one line at a time instead of jumping/recentering the viewport (#1040).

Improvements

• Macro Keybinding: F4 shortcut for Play Last Macro. Removed Ctrl+0-9 and Alt+Shift+0-9 macro keybindings (#700).

• Configurable Clipboard: New clipboard config with use_osc52 and use_system_clipboard toggles to prevent hangs in certain terminals (#964). Useful for Putty and other terminals that sometimes cause Fresh to hang on OSC 52.

• Scrollbar Visibility: New show_vertical_scrollbar and show_horizontal_scrollbar config options (#974).

• Package Manager: Reinstall support for local-path packages.

• File Explorer Persistence: Show hidden and show gitignored toggles now persist to config immediately (#569).

Bug Fixes

• Macro correctness: Replaying a macro now respects the exact same effect as interactive flow.

• Cursor Navigation: Cursor up/down now lands at end-of-line when goal column is past content (#514).

• Line Numbers: Fixed line numbers leaking between splits due to shared margins state. Line numbers now live exclusively in per-split BufferViewState.

Plugin API

• Plugin API v2: Versioned plugin API with createTerminal, sendTerminalInput, closeTerminal, getAllCursors, and plugin state API. Improved type declarations in fresh.d.ts (#1045).

• Split Labels: Splits can be labeled to prevent files opening in managed splits. Labels persist across save/restore. New before option to place buffers left/top.

Internal

• Refactored per-buffer view state: cursors owned by SplitViewState, ComposeState extracted from EditorState.
• Conceal ranges, soft breaks, and overlay filtering by view_mode at render time.
• Plugin state snapshot reports active split's view_mode and compose flag.
• i18n updates for vertical rulers and macro shortcuts across all locales.
• PieceTree Performance: Use binary search instead of linear scan in line lookup.

fresh-editor 0.2.3

0.2.3

Bug Fixes

• Undo Corruption After Save: Fixed undo corrupting text after a bulk edit (e.g. multi-cursor or replace-all) followed by save. Piece tree buffers are now restored alongside the tree during undo.

• Theme Not Found After Restart: Fixed theme reverting to default when the JSON name field differs from the filename (#1001).

• AltGr+Shift Input on Windows: Fixed AltGr+Shift key combinations not being recognized as text input (#993).

• Winget Manifest: Fixed UpgradeBehavior indentation causing schema validation failure in winget publishing.

Internal

• Added shadow model undo/redo property-based tests for increased piece tree correctness confidence.
• Added blog showcase system with animated GIF demos for the documentation site.

fresh-editor 0.2.2

Release 0.2.2

Bug Fixes

• Regex Find-and-Replace: Fixed regex mode not working. Added capture group support ($1, $2, ${name}) and a toolbar hint when regex mode is active.

• Keybinding Editor: Fixed actions with no default keybinding missing from the editor; all actions are now listed. Fixed inability to delete built-in keymap bindings. Fixed deleted bindings reappearing after save.

• LSP Completion Popup: Fixed completion popup blocking typing when using non-English locales.

• Revised in-editor help: Rewrote the in-editor help manual, should be a bit more useful.

Internal

• Locked Cargo.toml dependency versions to minor; docs recommend --locked. Dependency updates.
• ~53 documentation clarity fixes.

fresh-editor 0.2.1

Release 0.2.1

Features

• Experimental Session Persistence: Fresh now supports a client/server mode, attach/detach/reattach to editor sessions with full state preservation. Start with fresh -a <name> or fresh -a (directory-based), detach via File menu or command palette. Sessions persist across terminal disconnections. Use fresh --cmd session list/kill/attach and fresh --cmd session open-file NAME FILES to manage sessions from the command line. Allows using Fresh like tmux, or by opening files across other applications, e.g. yazi edit action triggers a file open in Fresh.

• Keybinding Editor: Full-featured editor for customizing keybindings. Search by text or record key, filter by context/source, add/edit/delete bindings with conflict detection and autocomplete. Try menus: Edit..Keybinding Editor, or command palette. Changes are saved in config.json

Improvements

• LSP Improvements:

  • Per-buffer LSP toggle command to enable/disable LSP for individual files
  • Default LSP configs for bash, lua, ruby, php, yaml, toml (#946)

Bug Fixes

• LSP Document Sync: Fixed document corruption when LSP servers received didChange after didOpen, and when bulk edits (selection replacement, multi-cursor) bypassed LSP notifications.

• LSP Completion Popup: Fixed popup swallowing non-word characters, arrow keys, and other keys. Popup now dismisses correctly allowing keystrokes to pass through (#931)

• LSP Diagnostics: Fixed diagnostic gutter markers not appearing on implicit trailing lines with zero-width ranges (clangd-style diagnostics).

• Line Wrapping: End/Home keys now navigate by visual line when wrapping is enabled, matching VS Code/Notepad behavior (#979).

• Syntax Highlighting: Fixed highlighting lost when saving files without extension (shebang detection) outside working directory (#978).

• Buffer Settings: User-configured tab size, indentation, and line numbers now preserved across auto-revert.

• Terminal Scrollback: Any character key exits scrollback mode instead of just 'q' (#863).

• 32-bit ARM Build: Fixed setrlimit type mismatch on ARMv7l platforms (#957).

Configuration

• Added C++20 module extensions (.cppm, .ixx) for C++ syntax highlighting (#955).

Documentation
