Picker API

You can now use the commandline as a picker for arbitrary options.

For example, creating a basic version of :tab that only shows bookmarks:

glide.keymaps.set("normal", "<leader>o", async () => {
  const bookmarks = await browser.bookmarks.getRecent(10);

  glide.commandline.show({
    title: "bookmarks",
    options: bookmarks.map((bookmark) => ({
      label: bookmark.title,
      async execute() {
        const tab = await glide.tabs.get_first({
          url: bookmark.url,
        });
        if (tab) {
          await browser.tabs.update(tab.id, {
            active: true,
          });
        } else {
          await browser.tabs.create({
            active: true,
            url: bookmark.url,
          });
        }
      },
    })),
  });
}, { description: "Open the bookmarks picker" });

You can also customise how each option is displayed by providing a render() function on each option that returns a HTMLElement:

{
  label: bookmark.title,
  render() {
    return DOM.create_element("div", {
      style: {
        display: "flex",
        alignItems: "center",
        gap: "8px",
      },
      children: [
        DOM.create_element("span", [bookmark.title]),
        DOM.create_element("span", [bookmark.url], {
          style: { color: "#777", fontSize: "0.9em" },
        }),
      ],
    });
  },
};

See the full commandline docs for more information.

Split views API

Warning

This feature is very early in development in Firefox, there will be bugs.

Firefox has work in progress support for split views, so you can view multiple tabs at the same time.

You can now manage split views directly from the Glide config with glide.unstable.split_views, for example:

glide.keymaps.set(
  "normal",
  "<C-w>v",
  async ({ tab_id }) => {
    const all_tabs = await glide.tabs.query({});
    const current_index = all_tabs.findIndex((t) =>
      t.id === tab_id
    );
    const other = all_tabs[current_index + 1];
    if (!other) {
      throw new Error("No next tab");
    }
    glide.unstable.split_views.create([tab_id, other]);
  },
  {
    description:
      "Create a split view with the tab to the right",
  },
);

glide.keymaps.set(
  "normal",
  "<C-w>q",
  async ({ tab_id }) => {
    glide.unstable.split_views.separate(tab_id);
  },
  {
    description: "Close the split view for the current tab",
  },
);

Changes

• Bumped Firefox from 146.0b4 to 146.0b9
• Added gU keymapping to go to the root of the current URL hierarchy
• Added gu keymapping to go up the URL hierarchy
• Added CommandLineExit autocmd
• Added glide.commandline.show()
• Added support for removing autocmds with glide.autocmds.remove()
• Added glide.content.fn() for marking callbacks as executing in the content process, currently supported in glide.keymaps.set() and glide.excmds.create()
• Added glide.o.switch_mode_on_focus for disabling automatic mode switching
• Added children syntax sugar to DOM.create_element() so you can now do DOM.create_element('div', ['child'], { ...props })
• Made the glide.o type extensible
• Fixed glide.keys.send() potentially resulting in out-of-order key events
• Fixed the glide.o.yank_highlight type to allow rgb(255, 255, 255) strings
