Mar 1, 2026March 2026: jarun/nnn delivered stability improvements in selection handling and reinforced code quality with static analysis tooling. Key work focused on the Selection Inversion Stability fix and a Code Quality Enforcement upgrade to clang-tidy. The selection inversion fix reconciles off-screen entries with the selection buffer (selbuf) using findmarkentry, eliminating unstable behavior during inversion and improving user experience. The clang-tidy update strengthens code quality checks and reduces the risk of build-time issues due to style or static analysis problems. Impact includes smoother selection operations for end-users, more reliable behavior across the selection workflow, and a maintainable codebase with stronger quality gates. Technologies demonstrated include C/C++ development practices, static analysis with clang-tidy, robust selection buffer management, and integration of quality checks into the development workflow.
