Features

A more complete list of features, and a list of some of the things that have been added to Magma to make Molten

Features From Magma

• Start a kernel from a list of kernels
• Attach to already running jupyter kernel
• Send code to the Jupyter Kernel to run asynchronously
• View output in a floating window below the cell that you ran, including image outputs
• Cells are saved, and you can rerun them, they expand when you type, and you can pull up their output again, and rerun them. Interact with the output in a vim buffer

Additions/Changes to Magma

• Completely custom borders
• Border colors per run status
• "Cropped" window borders
• Window footer to display the number of extra lines that don't fit in the window
• configurable max window size
• Can specify no border without minimal style
• Buffers can be shared across kernels :MoltenInit shared [kernal]
• You can have multiple kernels running in one buffer, including the same kernel running more than once
• Kernel prompt actually works when used from the command line
• Update configuration values on the fly
• Enter output can also open the output so you have one key to do both
• You can hide the output without leaving the cell
• Close output command works from inside an output window
• Quitting an output window hides the output window (configurable)
• Fold support. Folding text above an output window is correctly accounted for
  • Similarly, virtual lines are correctly accounted for
• A function for running a range of lines, enabling user created code runners
• Window rendering. No longer redraw an open window ever, it's just updated
• Cell rendering. We don't redraw the cell highlights every time the window scrolls or the cursor moves
• Image rendering
  • Images are rendered with Image.nvim which has support for kitty and uberzug++. The image rendering is much more consistent than it used to be
  • Configurable max image height
  • Allows for cropped images
  • CairoSVG is no longer required for rendering svg. The ImageMagic dependency of Image.nvim handles that for us
  • Arbitrary image support
• More graceful LaTeX image rendering errors
• Many bug fixes, notably:
  • Run status is working again
  • Save/load is working again
• :MoltenInfo command to see information about kernels
• Status line functions to see running kernels and/or initialization status

There are probably more than I'm forgetting. a lot has changed
