Full Changelog: v0.3.0...v0.3.1

v0.3.0

Changed

• Complete rewrite of the hint rendering logic to implement static hints so that the hints always stay with their target element, even when scrolling.
• Include a 1000px viewport margin where the hints are rendered. Serving for a nicer scrolling experience.
• Implement fade-in transition effect for the hints when first rendered for a smoother experience.
• Render hints using shadow DOM which provides better encapsulation and avoids some issues like in #20.
• Improve the positioning of the hints so that more elements are accessible.
• Simplify the logic for detecting what is a hintable element. This improves performance and reduces duplicates. A tradeoff is that now, if the element is not minimally accessible, it won't display a hint (see custom hints for a solution to this).
• Improve page scroll commands so that if the page doesn't scroll it uses the scroll container at the center.
• Add pointer-events: none to the hint style to prevent it from swallowing clicks when using a mouse.
• Include source maps also in production.
• Make the default hotkey ctrl-shift-insert for all the browsers except for Safari.
• The command copy text <user.rango_target> will now also copy the content of an input field.
• Disconnect all observers when the hints are off to avoid unnecessary load.
• Batch measuring and writing to the DOM to minimize reflow and avoid potential performance issues.

Added

• Implement custom hints: include mechanism to display more hints when the target element doesn't display one. New commands:
  • hint extra: Display hints for more elements.
  • hint more: Display hints for previously excluded elements.
  • hint less: Only display the default hints.
  • include <user.rango_target>: Mark the selected hints for inclusion.
  • exclude <user.rango_target>: Mark the selected hints for exclusion.
  • some more: Mark more hints for inclusion/exclusion.
  • some less: Mark less hints for inclusion/exclusion.
  • custom hints save: Save the currently selected hints marked for inclusion/exclusion so that they render by default.
  • custom hints reset: Remove any previously included/excluded custom hints.
• Implement new commands page next and page last to navigate to the next or previous page in paginated sites.
• Implement new command go root to navigate to the root of the page.
• Implement new scroll commands:
  • upper/downer <number>: Scroll up/down a certain amount of pages.
  • upper/downer all: Scroll to the top.
  • scroll left/right: Scroll to the left/right.
  • scroll left/right all: Scroll all the way to the left/right.
  • tiny left/right: Scroll to the left/right a small amount.
  • upper/downer left/right: Scroll the left/right aside upwards/downwards.
  • upper/downer left/right all: Scroll the left/right aside to the top/bottom.
  • scroll left/right <user.rango_target>: Scroll the container with the hinted element to the left/right.
  • tiny left/right <user.rango_target>: Scroll the container with the hinted element a small amount to the left/right.
  • left/right again: Repeat the previous scroll to the left/right.
• New command paste to <user.rango_target> to paste the contents of the clipboard to an input field.
• New commands pre <user.rango_target> and post <user.rango_target> to focus an input field and please the caret a the start or the end.
• New command change <user.rango_target> to focus an input field and remove its contents.
• New commands insert <user.text> to <user.rango_target> and enter <user.text> to <user.rango_target> to enter text to a text field. The latter also presses enter.

Fixed

• Improve the events dispatched to fix some elements not reacting to Rango clicks.
• Dynamically retrieve the pointer target so that we click the same element that we would if we used the mouse. Fixing some issues of the wrong element being clicked.
• Fix regression of commands up again and down again not working.
• Reimplement the actions browser.go_back and browser.go_forward in the context of Rango to improve their reliability and fix their behavior in Chromium browsers due to the history entry being marked as skippable when there's no user intervention.
• Fix multiple URLs being added to the end of the document title when the URL changes but the title doesn't.
• Fix clicking on <select> elements so that it directly opens the menu of options.
