Vim 9.2 has been released, introducing a variety of new features aimed at enhancing the user experience for this popular open-source text editor. This latest version, following the release of Vim 9.1 two years ago, brings significant improvements, including comprehensive support for Wayland and enhancements in the scripting language.
Key features of Vim 9.2 include full Wayland support, which now encompasses clipboard functionality, as well as adherence to the XDG Base Directory Specification on Linux. Users can also expect improved completion options, with added functionality for fuzzy matching during insert-mode completion and the ability to complete words directly from registers. Additionally, a new built-in interactive tutor plugin allows for enhanced learning.
The new vertical tab panel offers users an alternative to the traditional horizontal tabline, while a native dark mode has been introduced for the menu and title bars on Windows. Other improvements include better full-screen support, higher-quality toolbar icons, and significant enhancements to the Vim9 scripting language. This scripting language now supports enums, generic functions, and tuple data types, along with several new programming constructs and object methods.
Vim 9.2 has also improved diff functionality with features like the linematch algorithm, support for diff anchors, and inline highlighting. Several long-standing defaults have been updated for better compatibility with modern hardware, accompanied by new functions, autocommands, and ex commands.
For those interested, Vim 9.2 is available for download from the official Vim website. It can also be installed via the software repositories of various GNU/Linux distributions, as a Flatpak app from Flathub, or used as a portable app through the official AppImage binary.
