- Update to 8.9.0
* Second release of IPython in 2023, last Friday of the month, we
are back on track. This is a small release with a few
bug-fixes, and improvements, mostly with respect to terminal
shortcuts.
* The biggest improvement for 8.9 is a drastic amelioration if
the auto-suggestions sponsored by D.E. Shaw and implemented by
the more and more active contributor @krassowski.
- right accepts a single character from suggestion
- ctrl+right accepts a semantic token (macos default shortcuts
take precedence and need to be disabled to make this work)
- backspace deletes a character and resumes hinting
autosuggestions
- ctrl-left accepts suggestion and moves cursor left one
character.
- backspace deletes a character and resumes hinting
autosuggestions
- down moves to suggestion to later in history when no lines
are present below the cursors.
- up moves to suggestion from earlier in history when no lines
are present above the cursor.
* This is best described by the Gif posted by @krassowski, and in
the PR itself PR gh#ipython/ipython#13888.
* Please report any feedback in order for us to improve the user
experience. In particular we are also working on making the
shortcuts configurable.
* If you are interested into better terminal shortcut, I also
invite you to participate in issue gh#ipython/iüythpn#13879.
