vim.async "structured concurrency" has landed ⏩ in Nvim 0.13!
https://t.co/KUxOXKTRst

Try it if you ever want to chain several callbacks together, or wait for multiple processes to finish. Optional handling of errors, cancellation, and more.

Thanks to lewis6991 🫡

@drab_blizzard i guess by not knowing what they are

[Neovim, e/plugins @Neovim]

users are already extending Nvim 0.13 multicursor 💦
(cursors are queryable as an extmarks namespace)

here's a script by celeste3z to get "align" functionality (similar to tabular, vim-lion):

@drab_blizzard no editor/IDE has anything equivalent to CmdAtom events.

[Neovim, e/plugins @Neovim]

@IAmDriden they are free 😇

[Neovim, e/plugins @Neovim]

@tanloong_ @justinmk each cursor has its own set of registers, so it should work as you expect.

there is a known issue with <c-r> in insert-mode, is that what you're doing?

Multicursor has landed

[justinmk @justinmk]

⚔️ LOOT DROP 🛡️

Multicursor is available in @Neovim 0.13 nightly.

According to Sublime Text, "any praise about multiple selections is an understatement".

[VimR — Neovim GUI for macOS in Swift @VimRefined]

New release with Neovim 0.12.5. Thanks https://t.co/jqoucXlgnE for the PR!

@WillEhrendreich yep! it runs fully on the client, and should just work in any web browser.

but, see notes at https://t.co/ZSLLPU12mF

[Neovim, e/plugins @Neovim]

@WillEhrendreich scenarios where a cross-platform, sandboxed (or minimal permissions), Nvim executable is useful:

- web browser extension for editing text areas (no RPC)
- vscode plugin (no Nvim install)

@qiine_ @peter_p_c no. we are talking about an implementation detail.

:restart calls :mksession /path/to/tempfile, performs the restart, then deletes the session file immediately.

[Neovim, e/plugins @Neovim]

Nvim 0.12.5 release (づ｡◕‿◕｡)づ

- "ZR" performs :restart
- v:startreason lets plugins handle restart differently than regular (boring😴) startup
- ":restart" (without "!") restores the current session
- lsp: give bufnr to reuse_client()
- 50+ fixes

@qiine_ @peter_p_c session is in a temp file, not in cwd; it exists for about 5ms during the :restart, then is deleted.

Repeat anything.
Repeat anything.
Repeat anything.

with CmdAtom, a lot of "leader key" mappings will just be unnecessary, bc you can compose macros on the fly.

in this demo I type "n" + "zz", then I type "2<space>" to bring up the cmdwin with the last 2 atoms prefilled. I hit Enter to save the macro, then <space> repeats the macro.

at the end of the demo I type "<c-w>v" to split the window, then repeat it with ",,,," to repeat it a bunch of times.

killer feature: CmdAtom

[justinmk @justinmk]

The "atom" concept is now available in Neovim 0.13. All *user actions* emit CmdAtom events.

This is a deep architectural upgrade, which provides the basis for multicursors (essentially "atomic macros"), plus other use cases:

- repeat any "previous action"
- repeat partial actions ("sub-modes")
- repeat "visual operations" semantically

See dev_arch.txt for notes on the design.
