GNU-devel ELPA - window-commander

Window Commander NEWS -- history of user-visible changes. -*- mode: emacs-news -*-
See the end of the file for an explanation of the versioning scheme.

* 3.0.3 (wip)

** Add support for software keyboards which use 'text-conversion'.
Full functionality should now be available using software keyboards on
Android (if they have modifier keys).
** Add minor mode menu for window commands.
** Add command for selecting the most recently used window.
** Fix window selection when less than 'wincom-minimum' windows are tracked.
** Remove legacy display function support which was left in by accident.
Setting 'wincom-display-lighter' to a function is now equivalent to
setting it to any other non-nil value.

* 3.0.2

** Fix info manual.

* 3.0.1

** Fix ELPA build.

* 3.0

** Rename to Window Commander.
** Remove functions and vars obsoleted in version 2.x.
** Accept a ':minibuffer' keyword argument for 'wincom-define-window-command'
instead of using a positional argument.

* 2.3

** Rework window commands
A new macro has been added ('swsw-define-window-command') which
greatly simplifies the creation of window commands; existing commands
now use it and 5 new window commands have been added:
'swsw-delete-other', 'swsw-split-window-below' and
'swsw-split-window-right', which correspond to the built-in commands,
'swsw-selected-window-prefix', which displays the buffer of the next
command in the selected window (Emacs 28+), and 'swsw-swap' which
swaps the state of the current window and the selected window.

* 2.2

** Rework display functions
'swsw-display-function' has been replaced by 'swsw-display-lighter',
display functions should now be added to 'swsw-mode-hook'.
For backwards compatibility, 'swsw-display-function' has been
redefined as an obsolete alias of 'swsw-display-lighter', and
'swsw-mode' currently still handles cases where the value of
'swsw-display-lighter' is a function.
Display functions which are added to 'swsw-mode-hook' shouldn't
require any arguments.

* 2.1.1

** Indicate that some functions are for interactive use only.

* 2.1

** Bump required Emacs version to 27.1.

** Update window information when switching frames.
This fixes several issues when 'swsw-scope' isn't set to t.

** Make 'swsw-select' and 'swsw-delete' respect 'swsw-scope'.
Previously, 'swsw-select' and 'swsw-delete' would not select/delete
the only other window if it was on a different frame and 'swsw-scope'
allowed tracking it.

** Remap 'other-window' to 'swsw-select' when 'swsw-mode' is active.
By default this changes nothing since the default binding for
'other-window' is 'C-x o'.
This change has been made to add (simple) out-of-the-box compatibility
with alternative key binding sets or different Emacs distributions
(provided they bind 'other-window').

* 2.0.2

** No user visible changes.

* 2.0.1

** Add a link to the info node in the customization buffer.

** Add version information to customizable variables.

** Fix 'swsw-delete' when the only other tracked window is the minibuffer.

* 2.0

** Add support for custom window management commands.
Binding a command to a key in 'swsw-command-map' allows you to call that
command instead of selecting an ID.
Currently three such commands are defined: 'swsw-select' (o),
'swsw-select-minibuffer' (m), 'swsw-delete' (0).

** Breaking changes

*** 'swsw-minibuffer-id' is no longer defined or used anywhere, instead
providing the same functionality through 'swsw-select-minibuffer'.

*** 'swsw-select' no longer accepts a window ID as an optional argument.

* 1.1.2

** Apply customization options immediately.
Customizing 'swsw-id-chars' and 'swsw-scope' and applying those changes now
causes all window IDs to update.

** Construct IDs without pre-computing all possible IDs.
This should hopefully help performance when dealing with a very large
number of windows.

** Fix the calculation of the ID length.
Previously the ID length reported was much bigger than it needed to
be.

** Prevent setting the minibuffer ID to a character which can be used to
