kitty-scrollback.nvim v4.0.0 is officially released! Check out the announcement here.
What is kitty-scrollback.nvim?
A Neovim plugin (and Kitty Kitten) that allows you to navigate your Kitty scrollback buffer to quickly search, copy, and execute commands in Neovim.
Check out Advanced Configuration Examples for more demos!
What changed?
See Migrating to v4.0.0 for the detailed migration guide.
- Previously, kitty-scrollback.nvim did not open Neovim with your Neovim configuration by default. This has changed to loading your Neovim configuration by default, with the ability to opt out. If you prefer to continue not loading your Neovim configuration, then follow the steps at No Configuration.
- If you previously used the flag
--no-nvim-args
, then delete it from your configuration because it no longer has any effect. The flag--nvim-args
remains unchanged and can still be used. ksb_example
configurations have been removed and can no longer be referenced by name. If you were previously referencing an example configuration by name, then you can manually copy it from ./tests/example.lua into your kitty-scrollback.nvim configuration. See Plugin Configuration for detailed instructions on configuration kitty-scrollback.nvim.- The command
KittyScrollbackGenerateKittens
and apigenerate_kittens
no longer have an option to generateksb_example
configurations.- The command
KittyScrollbackGenerateKittens
no longer accepts the bang!
modifier - The api
generate_kittens
signature removed theall
parameter
- The command
- The reserved
global
configuration name has been removed and global options are now configured by the first element of the options table without a key. See Global Configuration for more details. - The undocumented reserved
default
configuration name has been removed. kitty-scrollback.nvim defaults toksb_builtin_get_text_all
if no configuration is provided.
Other minor version updates
- You can now paste and execute commands directly from visual mode! Previously, this could only be done with the paste window that is used for editing commands. Check out the demos in the Features section.
- The environment variable
KITTY_SCROLLBACK_NVIM
was added and is set totrue
while kitty-scrollback.nvim is active. See Environment Variables. - Documented the filetype
kitty-scrollback
and provided an example of using it in an autocmd. See Filetypes.
What's next?
The next feature I plan to work on is adding tmux support (see #155).
