Fixes

Candidate window reversal

See #27.

Jumping to newlines with at-full style

See #5.

Stop at-full style from shifting text sometimes

See #5.

Fix at-full interaction with tabs

When at a tab, visualize it using tab-width spaces.

See #43.

Fix overlay issue when the same buffer is in two windows

See #47 and http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=20607.

Quote punctuation chars

See #63.

Update screenshot for avy-goto-char in README.md

Use C-: as the new suggested binding instead of the pi char.

See #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 #29.

avy-goto-line now works with all kinds of overlay styles

Any of the following do something different now:

(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)))

See #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:

(setq avy-case-fold-search nil)

See #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 #33.

avy-move-line should remove empty line after original one is moved

See #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:

(defun avy-goto-lp ()
  (interactive)
  (avy-goto-char ?\())

This command only goes to the "(" character. This is actually very similar to lispy-ace-paren, except the implementation is only one line.

See #44.

(almost) all defcustoms are explained on the wiki

See 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:

(setq avy-all-windows nil)

To make it work on all frames, use:

(setq avy-all-windows 'all-frames)

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 #49.

New overlay style de-bruijn

How to use it:

(setq avy-style 'de-bruijn)

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 #51 and #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:

(setq avy-ignored-modes '(image-mode doc-view-mode pdf-view-mode))

See #57.

New tutorial on writing custom commands

See the the custom-commands wiki page and #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 #53.

New variable avy-translate-char-function

You can use this, for example, to interpret one character as another in avy-keys.

Example:

(setq avy-translate-char-function
          (lambda (c) (if (= c 32) ?a c)))

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 #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:

(setq avy-style 'pre)
