pardes.git/src/modal.zig, branch release-0.24

Enter, o and O give the new line the old one's indent as it is, tabs and all, as acme's autoindent does; a level more after an opening delimiter is a tab where the indent is tabs

2026-10-01T22:57:27Z

The indent was rebuilt as spaces, partial levels dropped, so a tab-indented line went on with spaces (or with one space, after Enter). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

Edit's x, y and s match whole runes, as addresses do

2026-10-01T03:12:15Z

mvzr matches bytes, and only the addr path widened a match to runes, so ,x/./a/|/ on é split it into invalid UTF-8 and ,s/./X/g gave a combining sequence four X's. Edit's matches now go through the same rune alignment (and an empty match steps a rune, not a byte). runeStart no longer walks a stray continuation byte back onto the ASCII before it: an invalid byte is a place of its own.

Addresses snap to runes, not grapheme clusters

2026-10-01T03:12:15Z

sam and acme address runes; pardes snapped #n, line:col, dot and data's reads to grapheme clusters, so a lone combining mark or a CRLF's \r could not be addressed. #n, line:col, a search's match, dot (both ways) and data now land on rune boundaries (modal.runeStart and friends), and the tty's cell drawing is untouched. The README, fs.md and the skill say so. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

]f, mif and the other textobject keys use helix's own queries

2026-10-01T03:12:15Z

helix's textobjects.scm for pardes's grammars are vendored in vendor/queries under MPL-2.0, each with a header naming its source and what it inherits, inlined; a README says what is there and what is not. syntax.objectAt and objectNext run them over the file's kept parse, with their #eq? and #match? predicates, for ]f [f ]t [t ]a [a ]c [c ]T [T ]e [e ]x [x and mi/ma with f t a c T e x. erlang's and zig's queries do not compile against the grammar versions pardes builds and are left out; fortran, markdown and powershell have none in helix. A test replays sixteen Python and JSON cases whose results were taken from the installed hx, and another holds that every vendored query compiles. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

gw labels the words in view and jumps to the one whose label is typed

2026-10-01T03:12:15Z

helix goto_word: the words of two or more word characters between the view's first and last lines get two-letter labels, nearest the cursor first, one forward and one back in turn (modal.jumpWords). The next two keys choose one and select it, stretching the selection to it in select mode; any other key takes the labels away. The words live on Pane.jump, and renderBody paints their labels over the body's cells in the selection colours, the one change on the render side. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

Z arms the view keys until Esc, and zm puts the cursor's column mid-view

2026-10-01T03:12:15Z

Z is helix's sticky view mode: the z keys stay armed after each until Esc, which leaves the mode and does nothing else (no pane hop). zm is align_view_middle: an unwrapped view scrolls sideways so the cursor's column is in its middle. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

g. goes to where the last edit ended

2026-10-01T03:12:15Z

helix goto_last_modification: every range moves to the end of the last change (the start of a deletion, the end of an insertion), extending in select mode. The position is kept on the Text in surface rows, set where setEditText hands a body its new text, so a terminal's typed text has one too and moves with its scrollback.

Alt-o, Alt-i and the other tree-sitter keys walk the file's syntax tree

2026-10-01T03:12:15Z

helix's expand/shrink, previous/next sibling, all siblings, all children and parent-node end/start (Alt-o/up, Alt-i/down, Alt-p/left, Alt-right, Alt-a, Alt-I, Alt-e, Alt-b; Alt-n stays the new terminal) walk a whole-file parse the file keeps (File.node_tree), made on the first such key after an edit and reused until the next, never per key. syntax.walkNodes follows helix's TreeCursor over every node, anonymous ones included, and Alt-i goes back to what Alt-o grew from while the selection still holds it. The harness runs without grammars, so the cases prove the plain-text no-op; a test replays eleven JSON walks whose results were taken from the installed hx. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

K and Alt-K keep or drop the ranges a regex matches in; Alt-: turns every range forward

2026-10-01T03:12:15Z

K and Alt-K share the s/S prompt, which now carries a mode rather than a split flag: a range stays when a match starts inside it (K) or when none does (Alt-K), the primary becomes the first, and keeping none leaves the selection as it was (helix keep_or_remove_matches). Alt-: is ensure_selections_forward. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

Q records keys into a register and q types them again; . repeats the last insert

2026-10-01T03:12:15Z

Macro.zig keeps keys to be typed again. Q records into @ (or ") in helix's key notation until the next Q; q replays a register's keys count times through the modal handling, where Esc does not hop panes and Enter, Tab and Space neither look, execute nor open the leader. . replays the normal command that entered the last insert session once and what was typed in it count times (helix repeat_last_insert). a at the end of the text now adds the newline helix's append_mode does, which a terminal's text does not. helix-golf's invert_dictionary passes.
