Originally I set the default value to `n` because I wanted users to be
aware of the magic ID number at the start of the line if they were
editing a buffer. With the recent improvements to the cursor placement,
I think that it's no longer necessary. Most normal edits should just
work as expected now, and it's a nicer experience if the visuals don't
jump around when you enter visual/insert mode.
If you rename a file to have a `/` at the end, oil will detect the
change as a delete + new directory. Similarly, if you delete the
trailing `/` from a directory, it will delete the dir and create a new
file. This should help with the case where you want to create a new file
but forgot to add the trailing `/` and now you have a file instead.
Previously we were forcing the cursor to be after the hidden ID at the
start, but that still meant that it would end up on top of the icon.
This made rename operations slightly more annoying than necessary, since
you would need to first move the cursor forward to the file name. Now,
the cursor will be locked to the beginning of the filename unless there
is a mutable column earlier in the row.
If you use oil and you want to still use netrw, set
`default_file_explorer = false`.
It is nonsensical to both use netrw _and_ have oil hijack directory
buffers (which was the case for the default config). It also causes
undefined behavior and bugs. When `default_file_explorer = true` (the
default) oil will now disable netrw for you.
* (feat) Added override function for floatwin
* (feat) Added in-place floatwin option modification
Added in-place modification of floatwin options, and removed example
from config.lua.
In an oil buffer you can select multiple entries by highlighting them in
visual mode and then calling `oil.select()` (or using a keymap that does
so, like `<CR>` or `<C-s>`. Previously we would automatically assume
that you wanted to open multiple entries as splits. Now, we treat a
default call to `select()` (which is what `<CR>` does) as if you simply
wanted to open the buffers and keep the same window. This plays nicer
with bufferlines. If you want the old behavior, you can explicitly pass
in `oil.select({vertical = true})` or use the `<C-s>` keymap when you
have multiple entries selected.
