The release of the text editor Vim version 8.2 has taken place. One of the main features of this release is the long-awaited support for pop-ups (including for plugins).
Other new features include:
- Dictionaries with the ability to use alphanumeric keys: let options = #{width: 30, height: 24}
- The const command, which serves to declare immutable variables, for example: const TIMER_DELAY = 400.
- It is now possible to use block syntax to assign text from multiple lines to variables.
let lines =<< trim END
line one
line two
END - Ability to use method chaining like:
mylist->filter(filterexpr)->map(mapexpr)->sort()->join() - The xdiff library is used for improved text difference representation.
- Several improvements have been made to enhance the use of Vim on Windows OS families: support for translations for the installer file, support for ConPTY.
