...


Previous Releases
-----------------

... from 0.8.4

  minor issues such as not being able to clear highlighted text using the
  Ctrl-Shift-F7, for example.
- :quit command now works in all forms (e.g. :q, :qu, :qui, :quit).
- Performing a change command while in visual mode now properly terminates
  visual mode.
- Fixed internal error caused when trying to use visual mode with IDEA's
  "column mode".

0.8.3 from 0.8.2
Bug Fixes
- After a fresh install it is possible to get a NPE when loading the first
  project. Now fixed.
- Fixed :class and :find. These were also broken by the focus fix in 0.7.2.

Bug Fixes
- Updated to show up in the plugin list for Pallada.
- Fixed NullPointerException when using the :qall, :q, or :wq commands.
- Fixed the :edit, :next, :previous, :argument, :first, and :last commands.
  These were broken by the focus fix in 0.7.2.

0.8.0 from 0.7.3
New Features
- Support for Pallada (IDEA 4.5)
- Support for the hlsearch option and the :nohlsearch command. Now when a
  search is done, all matching text is highlighted. The highlight attributes
  are based on the "General|Search result" color setting. (Not for 4.0.x)
- Support for aw, aW, iw, and iW while in visual mode or as arguments to the
  y, gu, gU, g~, c, d, and ! commands.
  
Bug Fixes

- b and B while on the first word of a file didn't work.

0.7.3 from 0.7.2

New Features
- Added support for digraphs. Currently you can use Ctrl-k {char1}{char2} to
  enter a special character. This works while in Insert/Replace mode, as an
  argument to the r, F, T, f, and t commands, or while entering an ex command.
  The :digraphs command has been added to display the currently supported
  digraphs. Certain special cases of the Ctrl-K {char1}{char2} sequence are not
  supported. This supports all two character digraphs as listed in RFC1345.
  This amounts to 1,338 digraphs! Ensure the file encoding can handle the
  characters you enter.
- Added support for the 'digraph' option. If set, digraphs may be entered using
  {char1} [BackSpace] {char2}. This works in Insert/Replace mode or while
  entering an ex command.
- Added support for Ctrl-v {digits}. This works while in Insert/Replace mode,
  as an argument to the r, F, T, f, and t commands, or while entering an ex
  command.
- A new Vim.xml keymap needs to be installed or Ctrl-K needs to be removed
  from all source control menus.

Bug Fixes
- Fixed backspace in ex entry. Deleting the first character was closing the ex
  entry window.

- Fixed focus problem with : and / and ? commands.
- Fixed word motion on strings such as 1/2/3.

  properly. This "more" window hadn't been working for a while.
- Fixed cursor position when issuing the O command on the first line.
- The confirmation dialog used with the :s//c command now has a default button
  and mnemonics for all buttons.
- A space is now properly allowed between the range and the command in a :

  now leaves you in visual line mode.
- Undoing all changes in a file now correctly marks the file as unchanged if it
  hasn't been saved in the meantime.

  all files use the :wall command.
- Enhanced the :e command. Support for :e# and :e <filename> have been added.
  :e# selects the previous tab. :e <filename> will search the entire project
  and open the first matching file. Relative paths are supported too. :e with
  no argument will still bring up the File Open dialog.
- Added support for the gP and gp commands.
- Added support for the z+ and z^ commands.

  insert/replace mode.
- Better support for split view editing.

versions prior to 0.6.0.

Bug Fixes
- Put back file saving for the :w related ex commands

0.4.1 from 0.4.0

Bug Fixes
- Fixed vim.xml for Windows. This file was getting deleted by Idea on Windows
  due to a mismatch in the case of the name.
- The O command now properly indents the new line.
- Fixed Null Pointer Exception when editing file templates.

Temporary Work-arounds
- Disabled the saving of files when using any of the :w related commands until
  a fix can be found for the dead-lock bug. ZZ and ZQ still save files.

0.4.0 from 0.3.2

New Features
- A VIM tool window has been added. This is used to show the current mode (if
  :set showmode is set) and any messages normally shown on the last line in
  VIM. To make this useful you should do the following:
  - Show the VIM tool window.
  - Make the VIM tool window docked.
  - Turn off auto-hide for the VIM tool window.
  - Shrink the tool window so just the window title is visible.
  - Do not move the VIM tool window to the left or right - leave on the bottom
    or top.
- Various error messages are now displayed in the new status bar.
- Added support for : register
- Added support for / register

New Commands
- Added support for q{register} command - macro recording.
- Added support for @{register} and @@ commands - playback register contents.
- Added support for :@{register}, :@@, and :@: - run register as command or
  repeat last :@ command.

New :set Options
- showmode is now supported.

Bug Fixes
- Hitting escape while entering a search string resulted in a search for the
  previous search string instead of doing nothing.
- The :registers command didn't display trailing newlines in a register
- Fixed focus problem if user hits escape in the find dialog after entering
  the :find command.
- All the search and substitute commands acted strangely if the text contained
  real tab characters. Tabs are now properly handled.
- gd and gD weren't working in read-only files.

0.3.2 from 0.3.1

New Commands
- Added support for {visual}!{filter}, !{motion}{filter}, and !!{filter}.
- Added support for [p, ]p, [P, ]P - put text but do not autoindent. Note -
  This plugin's support for putting text with or without proper indenting is
  reversed from VIM.

New Features
- Entering a count before the v or V command to start Visual mode is now
  supported.
- Repeating Visual commands is now supported.

Bug Fixes
- Now properly handle :0, :1, and :<negative> commands
- More problems with Visual mode - none of the visual change commands left
  you in insert mode after deleting the text and undo wouldn't put the text
  back.
- Fixed the handling of undo/redo with regard to text added to a file while not
  in insert mode. This can happen with the use of the Generate... menu for
  adding constructors, getters, etc. This also can happen when IDEA adds an
  import statement automatically. This also allows you to undo import
  optimizations!
- Doing a cw or cW when the cursor is already on the end of a word/WORD now
  correctly deletes only the last character of the word/WORD and not the next
  word too.
- gd and gD now properly save the jump location before moving to the
  declaration.
- z<Enter>, z-, and z. now move the cursor to the start of the line.
- Visual mode is now exited after issuing the = or gq command.
- The commands c% and d% where not removing the closing match as expected.
- The d{motion} command now becomes linewise when the motion covers more than
  one line and there is just whitespace before the start and after the end.
- Renamed some source files to avoid problems on case insensitive platforms.
- Entering a count for the . (repeat) command sometimes results in an internal
  error.
- Repeating an R command resulted in the text being inserted instead of
  overwriting old text. This now works properly.
- Issuing a p command when on the last line of a file pasted the line before
  the last line instead of after the last line.

0.3.1 from 0.3.0

New Commands
- Added support for [w, ]w, [b, and ]b. These move the cursor forward to start
  of next camel word, forward to end of next camel word, backward to start of
  previous camel word, and backward to end of previous camel word respectively.
  These are NOT in VIM but are very useful when working with mixed case method
  and variable names. Like their normal w, e, b, and ge counterparts, these may
  be used as operators for the c and d commands.
- :qall, :quitall, :wqall, and :xall - closes all editors.
- :wall - same as :write - save all files.
- :xit and :exit - same :wq - save files and close current editor.

Changed Commands
- ZZ, ZQ, :q and :wq will not exit IDEA anymore

Bug Fixes
- Visual mode became unusable without doing a Ctrl-\ Ctrl-n command after each
  visual mode command. This unstable mode also caused undo to work improperly
  resulting in garbled text.
- Ex commands that take a count instead of a range (:next, :Next, etc.) were
  getting the current line number as the count instead of one.
- The == command can now be repeated with the . command.
- Backslashes (\) in the replace text of a :substitute command was not being
  handled correctly in all cases.
