Vim text editor version 8.2 has been released. One of the main features of this release is the long-awaited support for pop-ups (including plugins).
In the list of other innovations:
- Dictionaries with the ability to use literal keys: let options = #{width: 30, height: 24}
- The const command, which is used to declare immutable variables, for example: const TIMER_DELAY = 400.
- It is possible to use block syntax to assign text from multiple lines to variables.
let lines =<< trim END
line one
line two
END - Ability to chain function calls by type:
mylist->filter(filterexpr)->map(mapexpr)->sort()->join() - The xdiff library is used to improve the representation of differences in texts.
- Several changes that improve the use of Vim under the Windows OS family: support for translations for the installation file, support for ConPTY.
