BriskEdit 0.3.0-beta.2

Release Notes

0.3.0-beta.2 — search, code intelligence & folding

A beta build. Still an unsigned developer preview — on first launch, right-click
BriskEdit.app → Open → confirm. To receive further beta updates, set the
update channel to Beta in Settings — the beta channel now polls its own
update feed, so in-app updates work for beta testers.

New

• Find in Files. Project-wide search and replace with case / whole-word /
  regex toggles, results grouped by file. Uses ripgrep when installed (gitignore
  aware), with a pure-Swift fallback; searches dotfiles too (.env, .gitignore).
• Code folding. Expand/collapse blocks via chevrons in the gutter, with
  indentation-based fold regions.
• Symbol outline. A sidebar of the file's symbols from the language server;
  click to jump to a definition.
• Go to Definition. ⌘-click or F12 on a symbol.
• Hover tooltips. Rest the pointer on a symbol to see its type/docs from the
  language server.
• Minimap. A zoomed-out overview at the right edge; click or drag to scroll.
  Toggle from View ▸ Show Minimap or Settings.
• Multi-cursor. ⌘D selects the next occurrence as an additional cursor.
• More languages & a language picker. Dart, Java, Kotlin, Ruby, Lua, SQL,
  Perl, SCSS/Less, TOML, INI and more, plus a clickable language selector in the
  status bar (with auto-detect).

Improved

• Flicker-free highlighting. Syntax colors are applied as TextKit 2 rendering
  attributes instead of text-storage edits, so the visible text no longer
  flashes or jumps while typing, and the whole document is colored correctly.
• Snappier editor. The minimap rebuilds on a debounce instead of rescanning
  the document on every keystroke; project-search numbers lines in a single pass.
• Accessibility labels for the sidebar section picker, terminal toggle, and the
  search controls.

Compatibility

Requires macOS 26 or newer. Xcode 26+ to build from source.
