Mitos 0.1.0

Mitos's first release builds on Helix's selection-first editing, multiple selections, syntax highlighting, language servers, and debugging. These are the main additions and changes since the fork, including work adapted from the upstream Helix PRs linked below.

Added

• Built-in spell checking for prose and comments, with correction suggestions, personal dictionaries, and temporary or permanent word ignores (Helix #15910).
• Image previews in editor panes and file pickers for PNG, JPEG, GIF, and WebP (#9). Previews automatically use Kitty graphics, Sixel, or iTerm2 inline images, depending on terminal support, with a half-block character fallback. GIF and WebP previews show a still image.
• A quicklist to collect search results, diagnostics, or symbol locations and move through them after closing the picker.
• A picker for changed Git files in the current workspace.
• Breadcrumb navigation showing the file path and enclosing symbols (Helix #15573).
• Custom : commands with aliases, command sequences, macros, and arguments.
• Automatic reloads when files change outside the editor (Helix #14544).
• Alt-r to replace selections with entered text and repeat the edit with ..
• Select all matching text objects within a selection (Helix #16088) and select the matched text when opening global search results (Helix #16061).
• Toggle breakpoints across multiple selections (Helix #16164).

Changed

• Rebuilt the terminal interface with Ratatui, with a welcome screen, optional file icons, clearer panels, updated pickers, and a simpler status line.
• Command help supports Markdown, and symbol lists use syntax-aware colors.
• Modus Operandi and Modus Vivendi are the default light and dark themes. The bundled theme collection is smaller.
• The executable is ms. User configuration lives in ~/.config/mitos (%AppData%\mitos on Windows), and project configuration uses .mitos/.
• Custom keymaps that used replace for character replacement must use replace_char. The default r binding still replaces characters.
• Reorganized the codebase, updated dependencies, and refreshed the documentation (#75).

Fixed

• Reduced blocking work during startup (#17), redraws, and code actions (#84).
• Improved terminal cursor handling (#101), file explorer navigation, and Windows file watching (#103), state paths, and line endings.
• Made comment joining syntax-aware (Helix #15992) and corrected formatting defaults on save.
