Neon Vision Editor v2.1.7

[v2.1.7] - 2026-11-07

Why Upgrade

• On the Mac, words from the macOS dictionary and your Text Replacements appear in a list below the caret as you type.
• Markdown previews and PDF exports show TeX formulas offline, using a bundled copy of KaTeX.
• Typing in large documents on iPhone and iPad is faster, with far less delay per keystroke in files over 1 MB.
• Quitting the Mac app with several tabs open no longer crashes.
• Right Arrow accepts inline suggestions as the setting describes, and Tab also works with Caps Lock on.
• Cheaper Inference is available as an optional AI provider.

Highlights

• In the word list, Up and Down Arrow pick a word, Tab or Right Arrow accepts it, and Escape closes the list.
• Clicking a word in the list inserts it, and Return accepts a word you picked with the arrow keys.
• Cheaper Inference uses gpt-5.4-mini by default, keeps its API token in the Keychain, and lets you set your own model id.
• Markdown previews and PDF exports render inline and display TeX formulas offline with bundled KaTeX. Formula underscores are preserved, and document JavaScript remains disabled (#942).

Fixes

• Typing in large documents on iPhone and iPad is faster, with far less delay per keystroke in files over 1 MB.
• "Suggest Words from System Dictionary" on the Mac shows a list of matching words below the caret while you type. Up and Down Arrow pick a word, and Tab or Right Arrow accepts it. Return accepts it once you have picked a word with the arrow keys. Clicking a word inserts it, and Escape closes the list. Right Arrow now accepts inline suggestions as the setting describes, and Tab also works with Caps Lock on (#926).
• Quitting with several tabs open on the Mac no longer crashes when a tab's editor finishes opening while its window is closing (#875).
