This week was a little slower as I was struggling with an adjustment to my new medication. Things progress nonetheless.

Text Editor

I spent a little time this week triaging some incoming Text Editor issues and feature requests. I’d really like this application to get into maintenance mode soon because I have plenty of other projects to maintain.

• Added support for gnome-text-editor - to open a file from standard input, even if you’re communicating to a single instance application from terminal.
• Branch GNOME 42 so we can add new strings.
• Fix a no-data-loss crash during shutdown.

Template-GLib

• Fix template evaluation on macOS.
• Make boolean expression precedence more predictable.
• Cleanup output of templates with regards to newlines.

libpanel

• Propagate modified page state to tabs
• Some action tweaks to make things more keyboard shortcut friendly.

Builder

• Merged support for configuration editing from Georges .
• Add lots of keybindings using our new keybinding engine.
• Track down and triage that shortcut controllers do not capture/bubble to popovers. Added workarounds for common popovers in Builder.
• Teach Builder to load keybindings from plugins again and auto-manage them.
• Lots of tweaks to the debugger UI and where widgetry is placed.
• Added syntax highlighting for debugger disassembly.
• Added menus and toggles for various logging and debugger hooks. You can get a breakpoint on g_warning() or g_critical() by checking a box.
• Ability to select a build target as the default build target finally.
• More menuing fixes all over the place, particularly with treeviews and sourceviews.
• Fix keyboard navigation and activation for the new symbol-tree
• Port the find-other-file plugin to the new workspace design which no longer requires using global search.
• GTK 4 doesn’t appear to scroll to cells in textview as reliably as I’d like, so I dropped the animation code in Builder and we jump strait to the target before showing popovers.
• Various work on per-language settings overrides by project.
• Drop the Rust rls plugin as we can pretty much just rely on rust-analyzer now.
• Lots of CSS tweaks to make things fit a bit better with upcoming GNOME styling.
• Fix broken dialog which prevented SDK updates from occurring with other dependencies.
