- <h2>Upgrading to v2.2</h2>
- <p>There are a few things in the 2.2 release that require some care
- when upgrading.</p>
- <h3>No more default.css</h3>
- <p>The default theme is now included
- in <a href="../lib/codemirror.css"><code>codemirror.css</code></a>, so
- you do not have to included it separately anymore. (It was tiny, so
- even if you're not using it, the extra data overhead is negligible.)
- <h3>Different key customization</h3>
- <p>CodeMirror has moved to a system
- where <a href="manual.html#option_keyMap">keymaps</a> are used to
- bind behavior to keys. This means <a href="../demo/emacs.html">custom
- bindings</a> are now possible.</p>
- <p>Three options that influenced key
- behavior, <code>tabMode</code>, <code>enterMode</code>,
- and <code>smartHome</code>, are no longer supported. Instead, you can
- provide custom bindings to influence the way these keys act. This is
- done through the
- new <a href="manual.html#option_extraKeys"><code>extraKeys</code></a>
- option, which can hold an object mapping key names to functionality. A
- simple example would be:</p>
- <pre> extraKeys: {
- "Ctrl-S": function(instance) { saveText(instance.getValue()); },
- "Ctrl-/": "undo"
- }</pre>
- <p>Keys can be mapped either to functions, which will be given the
- editor instance as argument, or to strings, which are mapped through
- functions through the <code>CodeMirror.commands</code> table, which
- contains all the built-in editing commands, and can be inspected and
- extended by external code.</p>
- <p>By default, the <code>Home</code> key is bound to
- the <code>"goLineStartSmart"</code> command, which moves the cursor to
- the first non-whitespace character on the line. You can set do this to
- make it always go to the very start instead:</p>
- <pre> extraKeys: {"Home": "goLineStart"}</pre>
- <p>Similarly, <code>Enter</code> is bound
- to <code>"newlineAndIndent"</code> by default. You can bind it to
- something else to get different behavior. To disable special handling
- completely and only get a newline character inserted, you can bind it
- to <code>false</code>:</p>
- <pre> extraKeys: {"Enter": false}</pre>
- <p>The same works for <code>Tab</code>. If you don't want CodeMirror
- to handle it, bind it to <code>false</code>. The default behaviour is
- to indent the current line more (<code>"indentMore"</code> command),
- and indent it less when shift is held (<code>"indentLess"</code>).
- There are also <code>"indentAuto"</code> (smart indent)
- and <code>"insertTab"</code> commands provided for alternate
- behaviors. Or you can write your own handler function to do something
- different altogether.</p>
- <h3>Tabs</h3>
- <p>Handling of tabs changed completely. The display width of tabs can
- now be set with the <code>tabSize</code> option, and tabs can
- be <a href="../demo/visibletabs.html">styled</a> by setting CSS rules
- for the <code>cm-tab</code> class.</p>
- <p>The default width for tabs is now 4, as opposed to the 8 that is
- hard-wired into browsers. If you are relying on 8-space tabs, make
- sure you explicitly set <code>tabSize: 8</code> in your options.</p>
