* 0.3.0 ** Fixes *** Candidate window reversal See [[https://github.com/abo-abo/avy/issues/27][#27]]. *** Jumping to newlines with =at-full= style See [[https://github.com/abo-abo/avy/issues/5][#5]]. *** Stop =at-full= style from shifting text sometimes See [[https://github.com/abo-abo/avy/issues/5][#5]]. *** Fix =at-full= interaction with tabs When at a tab, visualize it using =tab-width= spaces. See [[https://github.com/abo-abo/avy/issues/43][#43]]. *** Fix overlay issue when the same buffer is in two windows See [[https://github.com/abo-abo/avy/issues/47][#47]] and http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=20607. *** Quote punctuation chars See [[https://github.com/abo-abo/avy/issues/63][#63]]. *** Update screenshot for =avy-goto-char= in README.md Use ~C-:~ as the new suggested binding instead of the pi char. See [[https://github.com/abo-abo/avy/issues/64][#64]]. ** New Features *** =avy-goto-line= can now break into =goto-line= Just enter a digit and you'll be transferred into =goto-line= prompt with that digit already entered. This means that you can just bind ~M-g g~ to =avy-goto-line= without losing anything. See [[https://github.com/abo-abo/avy/issues/29][#29]]. *** =avy-goto-line= now works with all kinds of overlay styles Any of the following do something different now: #+begin_src elisp (setq avy-styles-alist '((avy-goto-line . post))) (setq avy-styles-alist '((avy-goto-line . at))) (setq avy-styles-alist '((avy-goto-line . at-full))) (setq avy-styles-alist '((avy-goto-line . pre))) #+end_src See [[https://github.com/abo-abo/ace-link/issues/17][#17]]. *** New defcustom =avy-case-fold-search= Non-nil when searches should ignore case, so e.g. =avy-goto-char= "b" will match both "b" and "B". On by default. Use this to turn off this behavior: #+begin_src elisp (setq avy-case-fold-search nil) #+end_src See [[https://github.com/abo-abo/avy/issues/34][#34]]. *** New command =avy-goto-word-or-subword-1= Enter one char, and select a visible word or subword that starts with it, depending on =subword-mode=. Move the point there. See [[https://github.com/abo-abo/avy/issues/33][#33]]. *** =avy-move-line= should remove empty line after original one is moved See [[https://github.com/abo-abo/avy/issues/40][#40]]. *** =avy-move-line= now takes a prefix arg Use e.g. ~M-3~ before =avy-move-line= to move 3 lines at once. *** Most commands can be used non-interactively Example: #+begin_src elisp (defun avy-goto-lp () (interactive) (avy-goto-char ?\()) #+end_src This command only goes to the "(" character. This is actually very similar to [[http://oremacs.com/lispy/#lispy-ace-paren][=lispy-ace-paren=]], except the implementation is only one line. See [[https://github.com/abo-abo/avy/issues/44][#44]]. *** (almost) all defcustoms are explained on the wiki See [[https://github.com/abo-abo/avy/wiki/defcustom][the defcustom wiki page]]. *** Allow all operations to work across frames You have to customize =avy-all-windows= for this. By default, it's set to work on all windows on the current frame. To make it work only on the current window, use: #+begin_src elisp (setq avy-all-windows nil) #+end_src To make it work on all frames, use: #+begin_src elisp (setq avy-all-windows 'all-frames) #+end_src *** New command =avy-goto-char-in-line= This is =avy-goto-char= reduced only to the current line. Few candidates means very short decision chars path. See [[https://github.com/abo-abo/avy/issues/49][#49]]. *** New overlay style =de-bruijn= How to use it: #+begin_src elisp (setq avy-style 'de-bruijn) #+end_src What it does: when your leading chars are clumped up together, it's impossible to overlay the decision path without shifting the buffer text a bit. For example, with the word "buffer", you =avy-goto-char= "b", and: - the path for the first "f" is "aj" - the path for the second "f" is "ak" It's not possible to overlay 4 characters over "ff" in "buffer". But to with =de-bruijn= style, which results in the path being "aj" and "jk". It's possible to overlay "ajk" just fine. Pros and cons of =de-bruijn= over other styles: - a pro is that it's possible to display the full decision path for clumped up chars, which is truncated for other styles - a con is that the decision path is of the same length (e.g. 2 or 3) for all candidates, while with other styles it's possible to have a few candidets with a shorter path. See [[https://github.com/abo-abo/avy/issues/51][#51]] and [[https://github.com/abo-abo/avy/issues/5][#5]]. *** New defcustom =avy-ignored-modes= This is meant for visual modes like =doc-view-mode= or =image-mode= that can have a huge number of chars in a single window. Which results in a huge number of candidates even in other windows. Current setting: #+begin_src elisp (setq avy-ignored-modes '(image-mode doc-view-mode pdf-view-mode)) #+end_src See [[https://github.com/abo-abo/avy/issues/57][#57]]. *** New tutorial on writing custom commands See the [[https://github.com/abo-abo/avy/wiki/custom-commands][the custom-commands wiki page]] and [[https://github.com/abo-abo/avy/issues/55][#55]]. *** New face setup New variable =avy-lead-faces= will determine the faces used to color the current decision depth you're in. For example, if to select a particular candidate you need to press "abc": - "a" will be highlighted with a face that corresponds to depth 3 - "b" will be highlighted with a face that corresponds to depth 2 - "c" will be highlighted with a face that corresponds to depth 1 But if another candidate needs "ef": - "e" will be highlighted with a face that corresponds to depth 2 - "f" will be highlighted with a face that corresponds to depth 1 See [[https://github.com/abo-abo/avy/issues/53][#53]]. *** New variable =avy-translate-char-function= You can use this, for example, to interpret one character as another in =avy-keys=. Example: #+begin_src elisp (setq avy-translate-char-function (lambda (c) (if (= c 32) ?a c))) #+end_src This will translate ~SPC~ (32) into ~a~. So you can press either ~a~ or ~SPC~ to mean "a". *** =avy-isearch= works for different styles See [[https://github.com/abo-abo/avy/issues/61][#61]]. *** Switch the default style from =pre= to =at-full= I've come to like =at-full= more than =pre= over time. The difference is that =pre= hides no chars in your buffer, while =at-full= doesn't shift text. Use this to restore the previous default behavior: #+begin_src elisp (setq avy-style 'pre) #+end_src
