Breaking changes

Hint callback execution

The action and pick callbacks are now executed in the main process, not the content process. This change was made so that you can access the glide API in the callbacks, making them much more useful.

For example, only selecting the hint with the largest width:

// before
glide.hints.show({
  pick: (hints) => {
    let biggest_hint = hints[0]!;
    let biggest_width = hints[0]!.element.offsetWidth;
    for (let i = 1; i < hints.length; i++) {
      const hint = hints[i]!;
      const width = hint.element.offsetWidth;
      if (width > biggest_width) {
        biggest_hint = hint;
        biggest_width = width;
      }
    }
    return [biggest_hint];
  },
});

// after
glide.hints.show({
  pick: async ({ hints, content }) => {
    const widths = await content.map((element) =>
      element.offsetWidth
    );
    let biggest_hint = hints[0]!;
    let biggest_width = widths[0]!;
    for (let i = 1; i < hints.length; i++) {
      const hint = hints[i]!;
      const width = widths[i]!;
      if (width > biggest_width) {
        biggest_hint = hint;
        biggest_width = width;
      }
    }
    return [biggest_hint];
  },
});

For the action function:

// before
glide.hints.show({
  action: (element) => {
    element.click();
  },
});

// after
glide.hints.show({
  action: async ({ content }) => {
    await content.execute((element) => element.click());
  },
});

Relative path resolution

Previously calls to APIs like glide.fs.read() with relative paths would resolve relative to the config file instead of the current file.

For example:

// <config>/glide.ts
glide.unstable.include("foo/bar/stuff.glide.ts");

// <config>/foo/bar/stuff.glide.ts
glide.fs.read("data.json");

0.1.55a would read config>/data.json

0.1.56a will now read config>/foo/bar/data.json

Custom hint label generators

You can now override label generation for hints to use whatever strategy you'd like.

For example, a very naive implementation for using the first two characters of the element text as the label:

glide.hints.show({
  label_generator: async ({ content }) => {
    const texts = await content.map((element) =>
      element.textContent!
    );
    return texts.map((text) => text.slice(0, 2));
  },
});

Changes

• Bumped Firefox from 146.0b9 to 147.0b3
• Added support for nested glide.unstable.include() calls
• Added glide.modes.list()
• Added glide.commandline.is_active()
• Added support for overriding commandline custom option matching so you can bring your own fuzzy finder
• Added <CR> keymapping to accept the hint with typed label
  • This is helpful for custom label generator functions that may define labels with the same prefix
• Added support for DOM.create_element() in the content process
• Fixed glide.o.switch_mode_on_focus disabling certain non-focus mode changes
• Fixed keymap types to correctly allow <leader>-, <<, < and other similar sequences
  • Thanks to @suveshmoza for the contribution!
• Fixed repeated glide.styles.remove() calls with the same ID
• Fixed glide.styles.add() erroneously adding duplicate styles
• Fixed static properties / methods on builtin classes not being accessible, e.g. URL.canParse()
• Fixed GlideProcessError not being exposed to the sandbox
• Fixed glide.hints.show() with auto_activate: true not respecting action: () => ...
• Fixed elements returned by commandline options render() functions from being needlessly duplicated, and breaking references
