Dev Build 2066 is out now. The most visible change is color schemes other than âMonokai Brightâ will show the syntax highlighting of the text through the selection. The default color scheme has also changed from Monokai Bright to Monokai (the only difference between the two is the way the selection looks). I may change the default color scheme back - the selection color doesnât have much contrast compared to the background color, and I already get a surprising (to me, anyway) number of complaints about lack of contrast in various areas.
Color schemes can individually control if the syntax highlighting is visible through the selection: it will be, unless thereâs an explicit âselectionForegroundâ key set in the .tmTheme file. In general, if the selection color is a wildly different hue to the background, an explicit foreground color may be required, to keep the text readable when selected.
Visually, Iâve changed the height of the line highlight, by removing 1px from the bottom: it was previously looking like it wasnât centered in the line. Thereâs also a loading progress bar, which will be displayed if a file is taking longer that 500ms to load.
Iâve made some performance related changes to the Goto Anything ranking algorithm, which shouldnât have a negative effect on ranking quality, but let me know if there are any issues there. Iâve also changed a few things in the way of Python support on Linux, so please also let me know if you see any issues cropping up there.
The full list of changes is on the dev build page.
