-{root} argument (current tree root) can be used in verb patterns - Fix#395
-working_dir verb attribute - Fix#396
-client-server mode fixed, no longer feature-gated (but still only available on
unix like systems)
-broot tries to keep same selection on option changes
-:tree_up and :tree_down internals, mapped to ctrl-up and ctrl-down - Fix#399
-better handling of auto color mode: two separate behaviors: for app running
and for export when leaving - Fix#397
-remove the deprecated --no-style launch argument (use --color no instead)
-deprecate the --out argument (redirecting the output is the recommanded
solution)
-fix a few minor bugs
-new auto_exec verb property: a non-auto_exec verb isn't executed directly on a
keyboard shortcut but fills the input so that it may be edited before execution
on enter key.
-add support for backtab key (by default it's bound to :previous_match).
-:rename built-in verb, best used with its keyboard shortcut F2.
-new standard verb arguments: {file-stem}, {file-extension}, and {file-dot-extension},
-new :toggle_second_tree internal - Fix#388.
-total size of staging area computed and displayed if sizes displayed elsewhere.
-new file_sum_threads_count conf property to define the number of threads used
for file summing (size, count, last modified). The goal is to more easily
search what's the best value depending on the cpu, OS and disk type/speed.
-:input_clear internal - Fix#24.
-the default (non prefixed) search is now "path fuzzy" instead of "name fuzzy".
You can still change the default mode and mode bindings in the config. This was
done after a survey in chat.
-new "unordered tokens" search type: t/ab,cd searches for tokens "ab" and "cd"
in any order and case insensitive in the subpath, matches for example
src/dcd/Bab.rs - Fix#378
-fix search modes configuration removing all default mappings - Fix#383
-conf / quit_on_last_cancel to allow quitting with esc when there's nothing
to cancel - Fix#380
-new parent skin entry for the part of the sub-path before the file name
(visible when you search on subpath)
-when a content search has been done, opening a file with a compatible command
(like the standard :edit) opens on the first line with a match
-fix :previous_match not jumping over indirect matches - Fix#377
-fix typing a prefixed pattern then emptying it while keeping the prefix
doesn't remove filtering - Fix#379
-fix shifted matching chars highlighting with regex patterns when showing
icons - Fix#376
Minor changes:
-modal mode: revert to command mode on command execution - Fix#372
-modal mode: when in command mode, '/' only enters input mode and is never
appended to the input
-better handle failing external programs when not leaving broot
Major feature: staging area
You may add files to the staging area then apply a command on all of them.
This new feature is described here, https://dystroy.org/broot/staging-area/
Several verbs have been added. Type "stag" in help to see them and their
keyboard shortcuts.
v1.2.10
-fix shift based key shortcuts - Fix#363
-check there's another panel before executing verbs with other-panel argument
- Fix#366
v1.2.9
-Fix crash on :input_del_word_left - Fix#361
-Remove diacritics and normalize unicode from input on fuzzy search (an
unnormalized string with unwanted diacritics most often happen when you paste
a string in the input)
v1.2.8
-It's possible to define several key shortcuts for a verb, using the "keys"
property
-Improvements of fuzzy matching
v1.2.7
-Don't ask again for installation if no sourcing file has been found
v1.2.6
-Clipboard features (copy and paste verbs) now work on Android/Termux (needs
the Termux API to be installed)
-Fix a compilation problem on non gnu windows - Thanks @Stargateur
-Obey '--color no' even in standard application mode. In that case,
automatically enable selection marks or you wouldn't know what line is selected
v1.2.5
-Fix style characters being written in --no-style mode - Fix#346
-Replace --no-style with --color taking yes, no or auto, with detection of
output being piped in auto mode (default). --no-style is still usable but it's
not documented anymore - Fix#347
-Fix wrong version number written in log file - Fix#349
-By default the number of panels is now limited to 2 (can be changed in conf
with max_panels_count). The goal is to improve the global ergonomics for the
most common (universal?) use case - Fix#345
-line_down_no_cycle and :line_up_nocycle. They may be mapped instead of
:line_up and :line_down when you don't want to cycle (ie arrive on top when
you go down past the end of the tree/list) - Fix#344
-fix selected line number rendering in text preview
-special paths in "no-enter" or "hide" aren't counted when summing sizes or
dates. It's a compromise: it makes all sums a little slower, especially if you
have a lot of special paths or complex ones, but it allows skipping over the
very slow disks and thus makes some cases much faster - Fix#331
-br fish shell function uses shell completion of broot
-tree height in :pt now applies even when there are more root items (thus
truncating the tree) - Fix#341
-fix the F5 and F6 shortcuts (copy and move between panels) in the default
configuration
-allow dashes instead of underscores in conf property names. This fixes a
regression as "special-paths", "ext-colors" and "search-modes" were defined
with a dash up to version 1.0.7. Now both spellings are OK - Fix#330
-fix some problems with paths containing spaces
(regression since 1.1.11) - Fix#329
-experimental "modal mode" (or "vim mode") in broot.
See https://dystroy.org/broot/vim_mode/
Warning!
-DON'T activate this mode until you really tried broot. Broot isn't a text
editor and can't be confused with one. This mode may be more comfortable when
you constantly jump from vim to broot but only after you understood how broot
works.
This isn't really about a "vim mode". This is about a "modal mode" in which
single letter key shortcuts are possible because the input at the bottom isn't
always focused. You may devise single letter shortcuts without taking
inspiration in vim
You may be an avid vim user, as I am, and still prefer not to use modality in
broot. Starting in command mode means you have one more letter to type before
searching, because search is done in input mode. And broot is search oriented
and often used in very short sessions (less than 5 seconds from intent to
launch to being back in the shell in the right directory or editing the right
file in your favorite editor).
-fix mouse staying captured during external app execution - Fix#325
-fix handling of rules starting with '/' in the global gitignore - Fix#321
-alt-c now mapped to the new :copy_line verb which, when in tree, puts the
selected path in the clipboard and, when in text preview, puts the selected text
line in the clipboard - Fix#322
-it's possible to define verb execution patterns as arrays instead of simple
strings, to avoid having to escape quotes - Fix#319
-when sizes are displayed (eg on br -s), show size of root line and root
filesystem info
-modified size cache management makes some size computations faster
-sizes (and dates and counts) are progressively displayed
-optional icons, thanks to @asdf8dfafjk (@fiAtcBr on Miaou)
See https://dystroy.org/broot/icons
-dev.log renamed into broot.log
-:line_up and :line_down accept an optional count as argument - Fix#301
v1.0.5
-in case of IO error when previewing a file, display the error instead
of quitting
-fix regression related to display of texts with characters taking
several columns
-preview now supports opening system files with size 0 (eg /proc "files")
A better way to navigate directories.
-Get an overview of a directory, even a big one
-Find a directory then cd to it
-Never lose track of file hierarchy while you search
-Manipulate your files
-Manage files with panels
-Preview files
-Apply a standard or personal shortcut to a file
-Replace ls (and its clones)
-Sort, see what takes space
-check git statuses
Thanks Maya for suggestions
