Previous Releases

... from 0.8.4 Bug Fixes

• :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.

• 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)

Bug Fixes

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 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

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

• 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 : 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, 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.

• 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.
• :close and :hide - same as :quit - close current editor.
• :only - Close all editors except the current editor.
• :display - same as :registers - display register contents.

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.

• 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.
