0.71.0

Added

• Yank-ring paste cycling — after p/P, pressing <C-p> replaces the pasted text with the previous numbered register ("1–"9). <C-n> reverses direction. Cycling wraps. Any non-cycling command cancels state; <C-p>/<C-n> then revert to k/j. Gated by enableYankRing setting (default: on). Uses vim-keypress event detection and addToHistory.of(false) for single-undo-group cycling.
  • Plugin: src/vim/yank-ring.ts (new), src/settings.ts (enableYankRing), src/main.ts (lifecycle integration)
• Indentation text object (ii/ai) — ii selects contiguous lines with same-or-greater indentation. ai adds the parent line above and trailing blank lines. Zero-indentation and blank lines return no match. Column-aware tab handling via CM6 state.tabSize. Gated by existing enableTextObjects setting.
  • Plugin: src/text-objects/indentation.ts (new), src/text-objects/register.ts
• gr blockwise visual mode — <C-V> block selection + gr now replaces each line in the block with corresponding register content. Single-line registers duplicate to all block rows; multi-line registers apply line-by-line; excess register lines truncate to block height. Cursor lands at top-left of block. Previously returned early (no-op).
  • Plugin: src/operators/replace-with-register.ts (blockwise branch)

Changed

• EasyMotion label positioning — labels now appear one character to the right of the target character (after the target) instead of on top of it. This prevents labels from obscuring the character they target. The change applies to all EasyMotion motions (word, char, line, search). Match highlights now also appear behind EasyMotion labels.

Fixed

• Flash highlight rectangles hardcoded to 8×16px — the .vim-motions-flash-match highlight boxes used a fixed width: 8px; height: 16px regardless of actual character dimensions, breaking with proportional fonts, different font sizes, and CJK characters. Now dynamically measured via coordsAtPos() for both start and end of each match. CSS dimensions use custom properties (--vim-motions-flash-w, --vim-motions-flash-h) with fallbacks. (#75)
• Flash labels obscure matched text — labels were positioned at the match START coordinate, rendering on top of the matched characters. Labels are now positioned at the END of the matched text (one character past the last matched character), matching flash.nvim's default after = true behavior. Matched text remains visible with a colored highlight underneath. (#75)
• Flash match highlights missing during label phase — when labels appeared (pattern met minPatternLength), match highlights disappeared. Now showOverlay renders both match highlights AND labels simultaneously (flash.nvim parity). Match highlights persist during label narrowing — only labels update when typing a label prefix. (#75)
• Flash jump-mode label narrowing destroyed match highlights — in jump mode (s), typing a label prefix character destroyed the entire overlay and recreated it with only remaining targets, losing match highlights for non-matching targets. Now uses updateLabels() to narrow labels while preserving all match highlights. (#75)
  • Plugin: src/easymotion/overlay.ts (extracted measureTarget + measureLabelAnchor + renderHighlightSpans shared helpers, added renderHighlights to showOverlay, label positioning at end-of-match), src/easymotion/types.ts (matchLength?: number on Target), src/easymotion/targets.ts (matchLength in findSubstringTargets), src/flash/search-mode.ts (matchLength in findSearchMatchTargets), src/flash/jump-mode.ts (widened currentOverlay type to OverlayHandle, label narrowing via updateLabels), styles.css (CSS custom properties for .vim-motions-flash-match dimensions)
• Flash jump mode two-character label premature exit — when flash jump mode (s) displayed two-character labels (28+ matches with default 27-char label alphabet), typing the first character of a two-char label either jumped to the wrong single-char target or appended the character to the search pattern, destroying the label state. The same bug affected post-//? search labels. Fixed by adding prefix accumulation with label narrowing: typed characters are checked as label matches first (exact → jump, prefix → narrow and update overlay), then fall back to extending the search pattern. Extracted shared waitForFlashLabel() into src/flash/label-input.ts for reuse by char-mode.ts. (#76)
  • Plugin: src/flash/label-input.ts (new: shared label selection state machine), src/flash/jump-mode.ts (prefix accumulation + label narrowing), src/flash/search-mode.ts (prefix accumulation + label narrowing), src/flash/char-mode.ts (imports shared waitForFlashLabel)
• Flash jump s conflicting with surround cs/ys/ds in operator-pending mode — when flash jump mode was enabled with s as the key, surround operations (cs", ds", ysiw") were intercepted by flash because motions take precedence over partial action matches in operator-pending mode. Fixed by implementing an operator-prefix shadow resolver in the codemirror-vim fork: when an operator is pending and the next key fully matches a motion but also partially matches an operatorPending action (e.g., surround's s<character>), the resolver defers to the partial match, waiting for the next character to disambiguate. A configurable timeout (operatorshadowtimeout, default 1000ms) falls back to executing the deferred motion if no next key arrives. (#76)
  • Fork: ~/Repos/codemirror-vim/src/vim.js (shadow resolver in matchCommand(), timer in handleKeyNonInsertMode(), cleanup in clearInputState() + teardown, operatorshadowtimeout option)
  • Fork: ~/Repos/codemirror-vim/src/types.ts (_shadowTimer on vimState)
  • Plugin: src/settings.ts (operatorshadowtimeout setting + Settings UI), src/vimrc/loader.ts (operatorshadowtimeout/ost in KNOWN_SET_OPTIONS)

Tests

• 5 unit tests in test/unit/flash-targets.test.ts: findSubstringTargets sets matchLength (5-char, 1-char, 2-char patterns), empty pattern returns empty, findCharTargets does not set matchLength
• 2 e2e tests in test/specs/flash-jump-mode.e2e.ts: two-char label narrowing (labels persist after typing first char of two-char label), single-char label immediate jump
• 3 e2e tests in test/specs/flash-jump-mode.e2e.ts: shadow resolver surround coexistence (cs"', ds", ysiw" with flash s enabled)
• 10 tests in ~/Repos/codemirror-vim/test/vim_test.js: shadow resolver (cs, ds, ysiw surround wins, dd/cc regression, dw/cw no-activation, Escape clears timer, g~ regression, ost=0 disables)
• 6 e2e tests for gr blockwise in test/specs/operators.e2e.ts (4 unskipped + register preservation + cursor position)
• 13 e2e tests in test/specs/indentation-textobj.e2e.ts (inner/around selection, operators, zero-indent, blank lines, nesting, yank, cursor position, mode verification)
• 8 e2e tests in test/specs/yank-ring.e2e.ts (cycling, reversal, cancellation, fallback to k/j, paste variants, register preservation)
