3.0.0 (2020-04-25)

Additions

• LTerm_editor: two editor modes: default and vi

• LTerm_read_line: class virtual ['a] term:

  • method editor_mode : LTerm_editor.mode signal: the current editor mode
  • method set_editor_mode : LTerm_editor.mode -> unit: set the current editor mode

Add initial support for vi editing mode to LTerm_read_line:

• motions:
  • h l 0 ^ $
  • j k gg G
  • w W e E b B ge gE
  • f F t T
  • aw iw aW iW
  • include or inner ( ), [ ], { }, < >, ' and "
  • generic quote: aq? iq? where ? could be any character
  • bracket matching: jump back and forth between matched brakcets
• delete, change, yank with motions
• paste: p P
• line joining: J

Many thanks to @nilsbecker for his feature-request on vi edit mode and the helps during the development on this topic!

Breaking

• `LTerm_read_line
  • class virtual ['a] term: the type signature of method private execis changed frommethod private exec : action list -> 'a Lwt.tto?keys : LTerm_key.t list -> action list -> 'a loop_result Lwt.t`

Since this is a private method and is intended to be used internally, the backward-compatibility will not be affected in most cases.
