0.23.7

Bugs Fixed

• empty text committed by IME is unexpectedly ignored
• missing some communication method implementations in input connection (fix GBoard undo/redo support)
• missing highlighted delimiter foreground color in some built-in color schemes

Notice

Since v0.23.7 (inclusive):

• the group namespace is migrated to io.github.rosemoe instead of io.github.Rosemoe.sora-editor
• bom module is renamed to editor-bom

Due to the migration to Central Portal, the old namespace can not be used anymore.
This won't affect any previously published version.

Breaking Changes and Migration

Editor Selection API

The legacy moveSelectionUp, moveSelectionDown and other methods for moving/extending selection are removed.
Now selection moving and extending are seperated.

• moveSelection method: de-select any text and move the cursor based on given movement type
• extendSelection method: update selected range, based on the movement type passed and anchor for current text selecting
• selection anchor is updated as selection changes and text updates

For selection movement types, please see SelectionMovement enum.

Span API (for custom languages)

Span is now interface class. To migrate to new API, note:

• replace your field access with setters and getters
• do not use builder-like calls to set properties of Span
• you can not directly get underlineColor because it is resolved when the span is rendered

Release Notes for 0.23.1

Apply a minor fix to selection anchor updating.

About Sticky Scroll Preview

This is the first preview of sticky scroll feature and the feature is disabled by default. Please provide feedbacks if you have any.
Sticky Scroll helps you stay oriented in your code as you scroll, which is also introduced in Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code. Refer to this post of Visual Studio for animated preview of the original feature.
In sora-editor, it's now experimentally supported, including the sticky line display and options like scope-keeping policy and max sticky line count. We also added support for click navigation - jumping to the sticky line when clicked.
Hope this feature help you enjoy a better coding experience.
