New Features

Allow non-printing keys in avy-keys

Now you can set avy-keys also to the arrow keys and page up/down, e.g.

(setq avy-keys '(left right up down prior next))

and those will be displayed as ▲, ▼, ◀, ▶, △, ▽ in the overlays. The display is controlled by the variable avy-key-to-char-alist.

See #77.

Allow to switch action midway from goto to kill/mark/copy

For example, suppose you have:

(global-set-key (kbd "M-t") 'avy-goto-word-1)

• To jump to a certain word starting with "w" (e.g. first one on screen): M-t w a
• To copy the word instead of jumping to it: M-t w na.
• To mark the word after jumping to it: M-t w ma.
• To kill the word after jumping to it: M-t w xa.

You can customize avy-dispatch-alist to modify these actions.

See #78.

New command avy-pop-mark

Goes back to the last location of push-mark:

• has its own history,
• handles multiple frames.

See #81 #88 #69.

New commands avy-goto-line-above and avy-goto-line-below

See #106.

New defcustom avy-line-insert-style

Allows to modify the behavior of avy-copy-line, avy-move-line, and avy-copy-region. See #117.

New defcustom avy-all-windows-alt

Allows to customize the behavior of universal-argument modifying avy-all-windows. See #118.

New defcustom avy-subword-extra-word-chars

Allows to customize the behavior of avy-goto-subword-0 and avy-goto-subword-1 by adding extra chars that should match as word constituents. See #116.
