v1.9.30

Recent Breaking Change

• Breaking Change: the "gray text" auto-suggestions display is now off by default, due to too many complaints and frustration and support cost.
  • The Suggestions List since v1.8.0 is friendlier and more powerful; toggle it by pressing F2 or enable it by default via clink set suggestionlist.default true.
  • The "gray text" or "inline" auto-suggestions display can be turned on again via clink set autosuggest.inline true if preferred.

v1.9.30

• Added new Lua API rl.issuggestionlistactive() which returns whether the suggestion list is currently active.
• Fixed to not show suggestions if the input line contains only space characters.
• Fixed clink.onfiltermatches() events (regression introduced in v1.9.26).

v1.9.29

Recent Breaking Change

• Breaking Change: the "gray text" auto-suggestions display is now off by default, due to too many complaints and frustration and support cost.
  • The Suggestions List since v1.8.0 is friendlier and more powerful; toggle it by pressing F2 or enable it by default via clink set suggestionlist.default true.

v1.9.29

• Added new Lua APIs to query Readline's kill-ring (see rl.getkillringcount() and etc).
• Changed oh-my-posh.clinkprompt to work around an issue where in error cases oh-my-posh can accidentally emit a bash script instead of a Lua script.
• Fixed how popup lists distributed column widths when fitting them into the terminal width; they were meant to be distributed evenly but were accidentally skewed.
• Fixed macro text limit in rl.getkeybindings(); it was being limited as though the clink-help command was invoked, but the Lua function should use a different limit.
• Fixed display of prompt lines that contain an embedded EL (Erase in Line) escape sequence; appending an EL to a line that already contains an EL is unnecessary and can accidentally erase a background color intentionally applied by the line.
• Fixed flickering input hint line during prompt animation (e.g. clink-flex-prompt's animation during asynchronous prompt filtering).
• Fixed #883; the FTSC 133;D code was emitted too early and contained a mismatched exit code.

• Fixed scrolling jitter while trying to scroll the legacy conhost terminal while Lua scripts are trying to refresh the prompt in the background (e.g. async prompt filtering or animated prompts); refreshing the prompt is paused while the legacy conhost terminal is scrolled, and resumes after the prompt and input line are fully visible again.

• Updated documentation to be clear that the autosuggest.strategy setting is a list of strategy names separated by spaces (other punctuation are not separators).
• Fixed the "User scripts and history" checkbox in the uninstaller so it correctly deletes them when checked (regression introduced in v0.2, in 2012).
• Fixed the clink.debugprint() Lua API to handle UTF8 appropriately.
• Fixed off-by-one row when clicking the mouse in the suggestion list when the suggestionlist.hide_hints setting is false.
