Syntax Highlighting
Edit v2 adds the Lightweight Syntax Highlighter. It has a ~40kB footprint for a dozen languages plus runtime, barely grows with each language added, and runs at >100MB/s.
The highlighter is based on a simple programming language that combines regular expressions with explicit control flow. It's designed such that the runtime can be easily ported to other languages, including JavaScript.
The list of languages will surely grow over time, and contributions for widely used languages are very welcome. If you're an experienced compiler developer, we'd greatly appreciate any advice and contributions to the LSH compiler. If you're interested in ports of the runtime, please let us know!
See you in v3, with the introduction of a tiny CSS parser for UI theming.
Changes
- Syntax highlighting (#753, #776, #777, #624, #795)The whole LSH stack: compiler, runtime, integration, and initial language definitions. See above.For path matching, we've written our own glob matcher (#743).
- Preliminary support for
settings.json(#742, #779)For now, this is limited tofiles.associations, which lets you map file paths and extensions to languages for syntax highlighting. I expect v3 to be centered around configurability. - Find & Replace now supports capture groups (#222) (thanks @viyic!)You can use
$1,$2, etc. in the replacement string when regex mode is on. - You can move lines with Alt+Up/Down (#230) (thanks @juemrami!)
- Tab and Shift+Tab indent and unindent multiple lines at once (#245) (thanks @liltrendi!)
- Whitespace inside selections is now visible (#397) (thanks @pheonick!)
- Pressing Ctrl+L selects the entire current line (#541) (thanks @recently-avoid-dyin!)
- Opening a directory via the CLI drops you into the file picker (#577) (thanks @four-poetic-drew!)
- Unsaved work is indicated with a ● in the terminal title (#523) (thanks @adamjoer!)
- The file picker now uses natural sort for filenames (#763)
file2.txtsorts beforefile10.txt, as it should.
Bug Fixes
- Invalid CLI arguments are properly rejected instead of silently ignored (#503) (thanks @spinualexandru!)
- Fixed random Unicode text input corruption on *nix (#520) (thanks @manitofigh!)
- Fixed a file truncation issue when writing Unicode files (#548)
- Fixed undo grouping when backspacing (#590)
- Fixed the alpha blending formula for colors (#594)We were using
srgb_to_linearon premultiplied colors, which is no bueno. - Scrolling and clicking have gone through a divorce (#603, #812, #819)No more phantom selections when you just wanted to scroll.
- Fixed UI colors with Terminal.app's new "Clear Dark" theme (#728)
- Fixed multiple issues found under Linux (#706)UTF-8 parsing for SGR mouse coordinates,
sighandler_twarnings, GDB pretty printing. - Single-line files will now properly save as CRLF on Windows (#739) (thanks @UnnaturalTwilight!)
- Fixed horizontal scrolling on macOS touchpads (#794) (thanks @barkure!)
- You can now replace zero-width regex matches (e.g.
$) (#815) (thanks @MihneaTeodorStoica!) - Accidentally pasting multiple lines into a single-line input field will not break the UI anymore (#818)
- Fixed a crash when sorting directories on Linux without ICU being available (#823)
Smaller Changes
- SIMD support for LoongArch (#539, #535, #551, #547, #602, #554) (thanks @heiher!)
- We'll now automatically create parent directories on save (#738) (thanks @stescobedo92!)
- Printing
--helpor--versionno longer requires a TTY (#556, #810) - Fixed Ctrl modifier handling during mouse input (#604)
- On Windows,
SetConsoleModefailures now show a useful error
