v2.7.6 - Fix scroll jump, mouse wheel scroll

What's new in v2.7.6

Bug fix: scroll jump when returning to litreader

Mouse wheel scrolling in another Kitty window (or over the XFCE4 desktop) caused XInput2's scroll valuator to accumulate, delivering a burst of events on return — making litreader jump many lines from a single wheel click. A 15ms burst rate limiter on scroll handlers across all screens prevents this.

Mouse wheel scroll in story viewer

Mouse wheel now scrolls 3 lines per click in the story viewer. Keyboard j/k still scroll 1 line. All list screens (favorites, bookmarks, authors, etc.) scroll 1 line per wheel click.

Download

• litreader — Linux x86-64 binary

v2.7.5 - Wrap-Around Navigation

What's New

• Wrap-around navigation on all list screens: pressing up at the top of a list jumps to the last entry, pressing down at the bottom jumps back to the first entry. The scroll window follows correctly in both directions.

Screens updated

• Main dashboard (faved in-progress stories)
• Favorites list (f)
• Authors list (a)
• Search results
• Bookmarks

v2.7.3

v2.7.3 — Editor word wrap

Added word wrap to the built-in editor, matching the viewer's existing wrap feature.

New:

• Ctrl+W toggles word wrap on/off in the editor (footer shows ^W:Wrap[ON] when active)
• Long lines are wrapped at word boundaries to fit the terminal width
• Up/Down arrows navigate by visual row when wrap is on — the cursor moves one wrapped row at a time through a paragraph rather than jumping the entire logical line
• Page Up/Page Down also scroll by visual rows in wrap mode

v2.7.2 - Direct file open from command line

What's New

• Direct file open: litreader somefile.txt opens a file immediately in the viewer, bypassing the library dashboard
• Pressing q or ← exits back to the terminal (not the dashboard)
• Reading position is saved on exit as usual
• Invalid/missing file paths print an error and exit cleanly
• litreader with no arguments continues to open the dashboard normally

v2.7.1

Fix left-arrow exit from viewer not saving reading position

• Save reading position when exiting viewer with left arrow (matching q behavior)
• Prevent unintended viewer exit during search match navigation — left arrow now stays in the viewer when matches are active

v2.7.0 - ShowRatings config toggle

What's New

• ShowRatings config toggle: New boolean setting (default true) to hide rating columns and sort-by-rating options across all views. Useful for libraries that don't have ratings.

Details

• Rating columns hidden in: search results, favorites, bookmarks, explore authors, author files, dashboard (stats + in-progress stories), and author info panel
• Sort-by-rating options skipped when cycling with t in search, favorites, and explore authors views
• Toggle via config editor (c from dashboard → "Show Ratings" → Space)
• Existing rated libraries are unaffected (setting defaults to true)

v2.6.8

Fixes

• Space bar in editor: Handle tea.KeySpace event so pressing space inserts a space character (Bubbletea v1.3.10 sends this as a separate key type)
• Tab rendering: Expand tab characters to spaces for display, fixing ghost characters (remnant letters from terminal buffer) appearing where tabs should be. Cursor positioning now correctly accounts for tab-expanded width.

v2.6.6

What's New

• Explore author from search results: Press e on a search result to open that author's file list; back navigation returns to search results
• CP1252 encoding support: Non-UTF-8 files (commonly Windows-1252) now display correctly — smart quotes, curly apostrophes, em dashes, and other special characters are converted to plain ASCII equivalents instead of showing � replacement characters

v2.6.3 - Grouped help bar layout

What's Changed

• Redesigned viewer help bar: Items are now semantically grouped with pipe separators instead of greedy flow wrapping
• 3-line default layout: Navigation, actions, and utilities each get their own line for better readability
• Narrow terminal support: Falls back to 4 lines on terminals under 70 columns wide
• Removed unused flowHelpItems() function

v2.6.2 - Fix juddering scroll in word-wrap mode

What's Changed

• Smooth word-wrap scrolling: Each keypress now scrolls exactly one display row instead of jumping by entire source lines when word-wrap is enabled. Long wrapped lines no longer cause jerky 3-5 row jumps.

Details

• Added display-row offset tracking within the top source line
• Up/down keys increment one wrapped row at a time
• Offset resets correctly on page jumps, bookmarks, search nav, and wrap toggle
