Vieb 5.0.0

[Jelmerro]

Vieb

• Add setting "suggestorder" that merges all explore mode related settings into one, with additional functionality
• Add suggestions for searchwords using the new "suggestorder" setting by default
• Add default mapping for quitting Vieb with <A-F4> which doubles as the mapping that gets executed for other close requests
• Add pointer action "swapPosition" to switch the current pointer location with the start location of the visual selection
• Add command syntax to cycle fixed-set strings using the "!" suffix, similar to boolean type settings
• Add startup arguments "--config-order" and "--config-file" to better control which config files get loaded
• Add command mapping list to the header of commands on the help page
• Add setting "menupage" to control when the context menu of the webpage should appear, possibly over the website's menu
• Add setting "menuvieb" to control when the context menu should appear for the Vieb elements like the navbar and the tabbar
• Add setting "commandhist" to control which commands should be stored in the history
• Add setting "explorehist" to control which navigations should be stored in the history
• Add prefix "!" to command mode that will run system commands directly
• Add pointer mode actions for most context menu options and rework context menu to be in line with pointer mode actions
• Unsupported startup arguments are now ignored with a warning instead of preventing startup (they could be chromium args)
• Word separator keybindings in the navbar wll now detect separators for non-latin scriptures using a whitelist of separators
• Calling action "menuOpen" from navbar input modes now opens the context menu of the navbar
• Don't load regular tabs on startup, but suspend them (they are not loaded until you switch to them)
• Common URI schemes and IPv6 addresses are now recognized as links by explore mode and when navigating
• Remove side effects of lock keys by mapping them to Nop by default
• Startup argument urls are now resolved as files if possible, both absolute and relative paths are supported (relative to CWD)
• Long urls in popups are now not only wrapped at 50 characters, but also maxed at a 1000, after that the rest is hidden
• Preload scripts for Erwic can still be loaded by tabs even if the file doesn't exist on startup
• Allow more supported characters to be used in container and searchword names
• Fix tempfile for the vimcommand not working on mac due to spaces in filename
• Fix spellcheck languages not working correctly when using multiple containers
• Fix navbar input position not following the caret when text is longer than the input box
• Fix mouse side-effects on Windows
• Fix quotes in settings messing with the :mkv command output
• Fix left-click in pointer mode not clicking on the right location when the page is zoomed
• Fix container color not always being updated if a color rule is removed from the list
• Fix search mode not clearing the url correctly if opened from the mouse dropdown selector
• A long list of miscellaneous fixes

Breaking

• Removed setting "suggestfiles" in favor of the new "suggestorder" setting
• Removed setting "suggestfilesfirst" in favor of the new "suggestorder" setting
• Removed setting "suggestexplore" in favor of the new "suggestorder" setting
• Removed setting "respectsitecontextmenu" in favor of the new "menupage" setting
• Removed action "closeTab" in favor of the ":close" command
• Removed broken FreeBSD build target, it's not supported by Electron or Electron Builder
• Changed setting "storenewvisits" to a list of types that should be stored, instead of a toggle for all forms of history
• Changed setting "nativenotification" to a "Fixed-set string" to allow using native notifications for small messages and show popups for long ones
• Renamed "rotateSplitWindow" to "rotateSplitWindowForward" to be more consistent with the recently introduced "Backward" variant
• Default config parse order is now "user-first", use "--config-order=datafolder-first" to revert to the old behavior
• Default value of "permissionmediadevices" and "permissionnotifications" from "ask" to "block" to reduce the amount of popups
• Startup arguments now accept values separated by = instead of spaces or no value at all
• Container names in Erwic configs will no longer replace special characters, but will report and exit

Other

• Electron 13.0.1 (was 12.0.5)
• Chromium 91.0.4472.69 (was 89.0.4389.128)
