Kitten hints

[dpetka2001]

I have a keymap in my configuration to paste the git commit hashes of git log output to my terminal.

The keymap is this map ctrl+shift+f kitten hints --program - --type regex --regex "(?ms)^[*]?\s(\S+)". Until kitty 0.31 this used to work. With latest upgrade to kitty 0.32 it doesn't any more. I get a Error: No matches found.

Did something change with the latest update and I should maybe change the regex expression I use?

There are no changes to the hints kitten in this release as can be easily verified by looking at the history of the kittens/hints folder. And I get no matches found for that expression with kitty 0.31.0 as well

It works for me in kitty 0.31 as the screenshot shows.

Ah you arent matching normal git log output, with that I can reproduce. Must be caused by a change to the go regex2 package which was updated, I will look into it when I have a moment.

Yes the command I use for git log is git log --color --graph --date=format:'%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S' --pretty=format:'%Cred%h%Creset -%C(yellow)%d%Creset %s %Cgreen(%ad) %C(bold blue)<%an>%Creset' as I was also using previously in the issue that I mentioned. I will wait for your input whenever you have time. For the time being I'll just keep using kitty 0.31.

Thank you very much.

Ah no its caused by a change in how arguments to map are parsed. They now use shell like parsing. that means you need to use

--regex '(?ms)^[*]?\s(\S+)'

Note the single quotes instead of double quotes. Or if you want to use doubel quotes you have to double the backslashes.

Can confirm with this change it works as expected.

Really appreciate your help. Thank you very much.
