Nyxt 3 Pre-release 3

3-pre-release-3

• nyxt/repl-mode:lisp-repl renamed to repl ( UNBOUND ) and redesigned to be more approachable with buttons and commands controlling cell formatting, deletion, cleaning, and movement.
• New prediction capabilities. Nyxt can now predict your next command, it will show up automatically in the execute-command menu. Nyxt uses a stochastic model to generate predictions for what your next command will be. The model is stored locally and is cleared after every session.
• New describe-mode command (an alias for describe-class ).
• describe-command became an alias for describe-function .
• auto-mode is now incorporated into Nyxt core, with its settings residing in modable-buffer now.
• Support for key files and Yubikey locking in KeePassXC password interface.
  • There are default rules for Gopher, Gemini, and Nyxt-internal-pages.
  • The rules file is now moved to auto-rules.lisp (instead of the old auto-mode-rules.lisp).
• Startup is more robust against corrupted history files.
• diff-mode is removed.
• History globality can be set on a per-buffer basis. See the global-history-p slot in context-buffer .
• backtrack-to-hubs-p allows to revisit the "hub" URLs you often visit, instead of adding them to history anew.
• nyxt:// pages can be linked from the outside Internet due to scheme security settings changes.
• When started with --remote and without --quit , Nyxt now reads s-expression from standard input and sends it to the remote process. This avoids the performance penalty of a new process startup on each iteration.

Bindings

• Add set-action-on-current-suggestion ( UNBOUND ) , bound to C-c C-j by default.

Programming interface

• define-configuration automatically resolves class names and slot names even without package prefix.
• Keybindings are also resolved to reasonable commands when necessary.
• Generate methods instead of functions in define-parenscript and define-parenscript-async to ease hooking into those with, for example, :around methods.
• after-init-hook and after-startup-hook are browser slots, instead of global variables they used to be.
• Allow the command argument to ffi-add-context-menu-command to be an arbitrary function.
• New package nicknames:
  • time for local-time
  • types for trivial-types
  • sym for nsymbols
• The third value in the object-attributes is interpreted as display HTML for the suggestion. See the color-picker support as an example application for this feature.
• Universal describe-* commands have been replaced with new sources for the regular commands, such as function-non-nyxt-source , function-internal-source and so on.
• The browser class has a profile slot.
• Renderers are now first class objects, see the renderer class. It's possible to change renderer from a same REPL session.
• set-url ( C-l ) and set-url-new-buffer ( M-l ) accept the :URL keyword argument and load it when provided.
• New ffi-height and ffi-width methods to unify most of the height & width methods used before.
• Rename prompter:return-actions to actions-on-return .
• Rename prompter:marks-actions to actions-on-marks .
• Rename prompter:selection-actions to actions-on-current-suggestion .

Bug fixes

• VI insert mode is triggered in more cases where it should be triggered.
• Invoke the right WebKit command when cutting text with ffi-buffer-cut
• Fix the display of history suggestions when going forward in history.
• Security: all the non-ASCII domain names are shown as IDN punycodes in addition to aesthetic display in status buffer.
• The canceled page requests are stored to history, making it more consistent.
