Vim 9.2 Released With Experimental Wayland Support, Better HiDPI Display Support

([Free Software] 3 Hours Ago Vim 9.2)


Vim 9.2 is out today as the newest feature release for this robust and comprehensive text editor. This Valentine's Day release for Vim lovers brings experimental Wayland support, XDG Base Directory specification support, modernized defaults for HiDPI displays, new completion features, and an improved diff mode.

Vim 9.2 features "full support" for Wayland with its UI and clipboard handling. The Wayland support is considered experimental in this release but it should be in good shape overall. The XDG Base Directory support is now tossing user configurations in $HOME/.config/vim . Vim 9.2 also brings a new vertical tab panel alternative to the horizontal tab line. The Microsoft Windows GUI for Vim now also has native dark mode support and more.

Among other features in Vim 9.2 is also a new built-in interactive tutor plugin. Downloads and more details on the big Vim 9.2 release via [1]Vim.org .
