Light Table overview

Light Table is based on a very simple idea: we need a real work surface to code on, not just an editor and a project explorer. We need to be able to move things around, keep clutter down, and bring information to the foreground in the places we need it most.

Light table is based on a few guiding principles:

You should never have to look for documentation
Files are not the best representation of code, just a convenient serialization.
Editors can be anywhere and show you anything - not just text.
Trying is encouraged - changes produce instantaneous results
We can shine some light on related bits of code

What’s new in version 0.8.1

Updated on Apr 15 2020

Version 0.8.1:

Added:

Light Table builds without warnings on ClojureScript 1.7.x
Add build target for generating cljsdeps.js (need for ClojureScript upgrade)
Linux and Windows users have access keys on menus
Linux and Windows users have additional menu items under File: Quit Light Table and About Light Table
Added file type definitions for html templates: ERB, ASPX, EJS, JSP
Command-0/Ctrl-0 to reset zoom and Command-=/Ctrl-= to zoom in
Disply notification to user after installing/updating/uninstalling a plugin

Changed:

[:app :lt.objs.settings/pair-keymap-diffs] behavior is being deprecated. Use [:editor :lt.objs.editor/autoclose-brackets] in your user.behaviors instead. lt.objs.editor/autoclose-brackets should fix autoclosing characters e.g. '[{" for international users.
Backspace key uses the same CodeMirror plugin that lt.objs.editor/autoclose-brackets does
lt.util.cljs/js->clj is being deprecated. Plugin authors can use the js->clj that comes with ClojureScript
Removed unused lt.objs.titlebar ns and lt.objs.titlebar/add-titlebar behavior
Removed unused styling in structure.css
Removed harbor and jshint node packages that belong to other LightTable plugins
Removed :hide-connect command which is the same as :show-connect
Removed light skin which was just a confusing pointer to dark skin
files/open-sync logs an error when trying to open a nonexistent file. Previously the error was ignored
Check for updates every hour instead of every 5 minutes

Fixed:

Git (vcs) friendly! Changing branches and doing rebases doesn't cause buggy dialogs. If a file is removed, the tab is closed. If a file has a local modification, the user decides whether to overwrite the current file or not
LightTable documentation supports navigation as it is now in a browser tab
Save and remove trailing whitespace behavior refreshes tab
Navigator no longer cuts off end of files i.e. can scroll horizontally
Case sensitive renaming of files e.g. readme -> README
Faster detection of binaries in build scripts
In linux, middle click to close tab doesn't paste clipboard contents
:open-path command resolves relative paths before opening them
Clearer description of font-settings behavior
Clear console error when github endpoints returns invalid JSON
All errors are consistently caught and logged to console
