Rune Editor 1.7.2 Release Notes

Architectural Improvements & Optimizations

• Persistent Editor Refactor: The editor rendering logic has been drastically simplified.
  • Eliminated hidden, "dummy" editor DOM nodes when no tabs are active, significantly reducing memory footprint.
  • Slashed deep prop-drilling across the layout layers. UI components now natively dispatch commands and read state directly from the global stores.
  • The <Editor> component has been aggressively optimized to accept minimal props, drastically reducing re-render overhead.
• Decoupled Welcome Screen: The Welcome Screen now natively handles command palette dispatching via a global event bus (rune-open-command-palette), allowing it to be seamlessly embedded anywhere without rigid prop requirements.
• Size Reduction: Cleaned up dozens of unused variables, duplicate imports, and unused properties to maintain a pristine, lightweight codebase.

Fixes

• Fixed a bug where typing in the editor would cause the cursor to jump aggressively to the first line by pinning the persistent CodeMirror instances to unique IDs rather than reactive objects.
• Fixed a bug where modifying the search query in the "Replace" panel would inadvertently advance the cursor or trigger a live search while the user was still typing.
• Ensured strict active-tab focus logic, maintaining keyboard focus perfectly when switching tabs or panes.
