v0.50.0

v0.50.0 is a monthly release with a large number of PRs to improve correctness, accessibility, and performance. It also ships HMR support, compiled keyboard shortcut dispatch, and screen reader announcements for headings and auto-links, and build-time tree-shaking annotations (in a new [`@lexical/compiler`](https://lexical.dev/docs/api/modules/lexical_compiler) package). We have upgraded to pnpm 11, so if you're working directly with the monorepo you will need to upgrade as well.

### Breaking Changes

*   [`lexical`](https://lexical.dev/docs/api/modules/lexical) — `LexicalNode.replace()` no longer re-homes a named slot value. A slot value has no parent (its up-link is `__slotHost`), so replacing one through the tree API now fails with an actionable invariant instead of a generic parent error; use `$setSlot` on the owning host. `$setBlocksType` and the block converters skip slot values for the same reason ([#8938](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/8938), [#8905](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/8905), [#8901](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/8901))
*   [`@lexical/clipboard`](https://lexical.dev/docs/api/modules/lexical_clipboard) — The Lexical JSON clipboard payload (`application/x-lexical-editor`) now asks `excludeFromCopy('clone')` instead of `'html'`, matching the destination the rest of that payload already uses. Nodes that opt out of HTML export but expect to survive a clone (e.g. `MarkNode`) are copied again; custom `excludeFromCopy` implementations that keyed on `'html'` for this channel should be updated ([#8995](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/8995))

### Behavior Changes to Watch

These were merged as bug fixes rather than breaking changes, but they change observable output — check them if you snapshot HTML, assert on the DOM, or depend on the old editing behavior.

*   **HTML export emits a terminating `<br>`.** A trailing `LineBreakNode` in a block now exports an extra `<br data-lexical-managed-linebreak="true">`, mirroring what the reconciler already puts in the live DOM, so `<p>a<br></p>` survives an export/import round trip. Both importers drop the marker, but exported-HTML fixtures will differ ([#8765](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/8765))
*   **Rich text mounts an `aria-live` region by default.** `HeadingAnnounceExtension` (via `RichTextExtension`) and `AutoLinkAnnounceExtension` (via `AutoLinkExtension`) depend on `AriaLiveRegionExtension`, which appends a live-region `<div>` to `document.body` — or to the configured `owner` element. Opt out with `configExtension(HeadingAnnounceExtension, {disabled: true})` ([#8908](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/8908), [#9071](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/9071))
*   **Select-all delete and cut now remove the blocks.** A whole-document range is widened to the top-level blocks, so the editor is left on a fresh empty paragraph instead of an emptied heading, quote or list that went on styling the next character typed — and Cmd+X now carries those blocks, so pasting restores them ([#8884](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/8884))
*   **A formatted paragraph copies as a block.** `ParagraphNode.extractWithChild` now keeps a fully-selected paragraph that carries alignment, indent or inline style in the payload as a block, instead of splicing its children in and dropping that formatting. Paragraphs with none of it serialize as before ([#9059](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/9059))
*   **`importJSON` applies registered node replacements.** JSON deserialization builds through `$create`, so a replacement's class is constructed and its `importJSON` runs; a deprecated `replace` without `withKlass` is still applied the old way ([#9061](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/9061), [#9090](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/9090))
*   **Listener return types tightened.** Only `RootListener` and `EditableListener` are typed to return a cleanup function; returning one from another listener is now a TypeScript error — it was never called ([#8990](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/8990))
*   **Collab and Markdown output shifts.** `@lexical/yjs` no longer syncs root `textFormat`/`textStyle` ([#8940](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/8940)); Markdown import restructures nested mixed-type lists and stores fence metadata in a new `mdCodeMeta` node state ([#8283](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/8283))
*   **New invariants.** Replacing a slot value ([#8938](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/8938)), an `insertText` anchor that is not a text node, an empty `KeyboardShortcutMatch` key, and a `createBindingV2` `getXmlText`/`getXmlElement` that returns an un-integrated or misnamed type ([#6483](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/6483)) now throw instead of failing later

### Deprecations

*   [`lexical`](https://lexical.dev/docs/api/modules/lexical) — `CAN_UNDO_COMMAND` and `CAN_REDO_COMMAND` are deprecated in favor of the `canUndo` / `canRedo` signals on `HistoryExtension`. A command only reports a change, so a listener registered after initialization can't read the current value; the signal always holds it ([#8918](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/8918))

### New APIs & Features

*   [`@lexical/compiler`](https://lexical.dev/docs/api/modules/lexical_compiler) — New package that injects `/* @__PURE__ */` annotations and inlines the trivial side-effect-free factories (`defineExtension`, `configExtension`, `safeCast`, `createCommand`, `createState`, …) at build time, as a Rollup and Vite plugin. Hand-written annotations on those calls are no longer needed ([#9086](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/9086))
*   [`@lexical/extension`](https://lexical.dev/docs/api/modules/lexical_extension) — `HMRExtension` (with `HMRConfig`, `HMROutput`, `HotContext`) keeps an editor alive across hot module replacement. [`@lexical/react`](https://lexical.dev/docs/api/modules/lexical_react) gains `LexicalMenuOption`, `LexicalAutoEmbedPluginUtils`, `LexicalTypeaheadMenuPluginUtils` and `LexicalCollaborationContextUtils` entry points that split values out of component modules so Fast Refresh works — the original exports are unchanged ([#8959](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/8959))
*   [`lexical`](https://lexical.dev/docs/api/modules/lexical) / [`@lexical/extension`](https://lexical.dev/docs/api/modules/lexical_extension) — Compiled keyboard shortcut dispatch: `compileKeyboardShortcuts`, `CONTROL_OR_ALT`, `CONTROL_OR_META`, `CONTROL_OR_OTHER_KEY`, `keyboardEventMaskForPlatform` and the `KeyboardShortcut*` types in core, plus `KeyboardShortcutsExtension` and `formatKeyboardShortcut` for declaring named shortcuts and rendering them per platform ([#8876](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/8876))
*   [`@lexical/rich-text`](https://lexical.dev/docs/api/modules/lexical_rich_text) — `HeadingAnnounceExtension` announces heading changes to screen readers, on by default in `RichTextExtension`; [`@lexical/link`](https://lexical.dev/docs/api/modules/lexical_link)'s `AutoLinkAnnounceExtension` does the same when typing turns text into a link, on by default with `AutoLinkExtension` ([#8908](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/8908), [#9071](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/9071))
*   [`@lexical/list`](https://lexical.dev/docs/api/modules/lexical_list) — Opt-in `WordListImportExtension` reconstructs list structure from Microsoft Word HTML (`MsoListParagraph` classes and `mso-list` metadata) on paste ([#9082](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/9082))
*   [`@lexical/rich-text`](https://lexical.dev/docs/api/modules/lexical_rich_text) — New `shouldHandlePasteAsFiles` config (and exported `defaultShouldHandlePasteAsFiles`, plus an optional third argument to `registerRichText`) lets an app decide that pasted files win over the incidental `text/html` browsers attach when an image is copied. The default is unchanged: files are handled only when the clipboard carries no text content ([#8902](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/8902), [#8699](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/8699))
*   [`@lexical/yjs`](https://lexical.dev/docs/api/modules/lexical_yjs) — `CreateBindingV2Options__EXPERIMENTAL` allows a custom Yjs `XmlText`, so a Lexical document can live inside a larger shared type ([#6483](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/6483))
*   [`lexical`](https://lexical.dev/docs/api/modules/lexical) — New `$getSelectionSlotFrame` ([#9052](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/9052)) and `$flushSyncAfterUpdate` ([#9067](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/9067)) exports; `$isBlockFullySelected` moved into core and is still re-exported from `@lexical/utils` ([#9059](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/9059)); [`@lexical/table`](https://lexical.dev/docs/api/modules/lexical_table) now exports the `TableCellHeaderState` type ([#9038](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/9038)); JSDoc added across the core exports ([#8895](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/8895))
*   **Performance** — Bulk inserts and removals no longer walk the parent's children to compute an offset the selection never reads, which made those operations quadratic ([#9108](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/9108))

### Notable Fixes

**Named slots & the node tree**

*   Line breaks inside a slot insert and delete correctly ([#8899](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/8899)); a managed line break is restored in wrapped slot hosts ([#9066](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/9066)); reading the parent style of a slot value no longer throws ([#8950](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/8950)); a slot-bearing decorator host is deleted correctly at the selection boundary ([#8905](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/8905))
*   `replace()` keeps the parent's `__size` correct when handed a sibling ([#8917](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/8917)), and `splice` no longer creates a sibling cycle when it re-inserts a node after the range ([#8916](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/8916))

**Node state, copy/paste & serialization**

*   HTML import/export and slot frames carry the whole node state, keeping the HTML and Lexical clipboard payloads in agreement ([#9052](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/9052)); copy and insert keep the original node's state ([#9059](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/9059)); list operations and DOM import/export keep the node's own state ([#9050](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/9050)); inline node transforms keep the node and its DOM in step ([#9060](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/9060)); code blocks keep the caret and their own attributes ([#9056](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/9056)); blocks pasted after consecutive line breaks are preserved ([#8890](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/8890))
*   Nodes keep their own properties across clone, split and export: `EditorState.clone()` keeps `_parsed` ([#8989](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/8989)), `AutoLinkNode.insertNewAfter` keeps its properties ([#8996](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/8996)), a split heading keeps its format and style ([#8926](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/8926)), split lists continue numbering from the item's value ([#8913](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/8913)), and in the playground the Excalidraw drawing and size survive a clone ([#8984](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/8984)), a closed collapsible no longer exports as open ([#8994](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/8994)), mention nodes keep their display text ([#8999](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/8999)), custom nodes keep the theme classes `createDOM` applied ([#9049](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/9049)) and an unparseable `data-lexical-datetime` no longer breaks serialization ([#9047](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/9047))

**Selection & editing**

*   Selection and caret state are correct at block and shadow root boundaries ([#9058](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/9058)); the block cursor shows before block decorators regardless of the preceding sibling ([#8888](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/8888)); the select-all highlight stays visible next to boundary decorators ([#8931](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/8931)); `$extendCaretToRange`'s focus is a real, flippable position ([#8930](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/8930)); Shift+Arrow extends adjacent node selections ([#9067](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/9067)); clicking inside a selected node no longer deselects it ([#8910](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/8910))
*   `insertNodes` no longer leaves an empty paragraph after a block inserted at the end of a paragraph ([#9099](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/9099)); `insertText` no longer throws when the caret is inside a segmented `TextNode` ([#9104](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/9104)); Backspace works at a soft line-wrap boundary in Firefox ([#9101](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/9101)); Enter on iOS no longer moves the caret past the acceptance boundary ([#8941](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/8941)); iPadOS desktop-class user agents are detected ([#8909](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/8909)); dropped files are forwarded when the drop point has no caret ([#9076](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/9076)); clear-formatting resets the cached selection format ([#8889](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/8889))

**Tables & lists**

*   Table grid indices, cell state and boundary selection fixed ([#9054](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/9054)); alignment covers every cell a table selection touches ([#9043](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/9043)); inserting a column steps by the visited cell's `colSpan` ([#8911](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/8911)); `importDOM` imports the `dir` attribute ([#8914](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/8914)); `toggleHeaderStyle` stays inside `TableCellHeaderStates` ([#9038](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/9038)); the `trackTable` `MutationObserver` is disconnected in `removeListeners` ([#9074](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/9074)); text cursor placement is reliable when tapping cells on touch devices ([#8827](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/8827))
*   The stale depth theme class is removed when a list changes depth ([#9077](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/9077)); rapid clicks on the same checklist checkbox are no longer throttled ([#9102](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/9102)); focus stays in the editor when a press lands on a check list item's label ([#9088](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/9088))

**Links, Markdown & HTML**

*   `TOGGLE_LINK_COMMAND`'s object payload no longer discards the configured attributes ([#8985](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/8985)); `$toggleLink` applies the `title` attribute for a `NodeSelection` ([#8993](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/8993)); `LinkNode`/`AutoLinkNode` getters read the latest state ([#9080](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/9080)); middle-clicked links open in a new tab ([#9078](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/9078)); the auto embed menu only opens when a bare link is pasted ([#9091](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/9091)); the playground's `validateUrl` no longer accepts a sentence that merely contains a URL ([#9097](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/9097))
*   Markdown round trips keep fenced code and enclosing blocks intact ([#9055](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/9055)); nested mixed-type lists import with the right structure ([#8283](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/8283)); a URL containing parentheses imports correctly ([#9093](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/9093)); no dangling closing tag when a selection slices a format to whitespace ([#8961](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/8961)); no stray leading newline when a selection starts below the first block ([#8960](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/8960))
*   A trailing line break survives HTML export and re-import ([#8765](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/8765)); `exportDOM` returning a `DocumentFragment` applies its `after()` replacement ([#8997](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/8997)); `parseSelector` rejects an empty selector group ([#9083](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/9083)); Prism language maps are read as own properties ([#8981](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/8981)); a function-valued style patch is applied once to an empty element ([#8912](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/8912)); `objectKlassEquals` no longer throws on `undefined` or prototype-less objects ([#9079](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/9079))

**React, collaboration & history**

*   Decorator portals are recreated when the editor root remounts ([#8921](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/8921)); `Placeholder` uses the SSR-safe `useLayoutEffect` ([#8906](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/8906)); the typeahead query updates during IME composition ([#8942](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/8942)); plugins and hooks re-derive when their inputs change ([#9051](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/9051)); focus is restored after dragging decorator blocks ([#9064](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/9064)); multiple clicks are normalized ([#8928](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/8928))
*   Collab sync gaps between the editor state and the Yjs doc are closed, and bootstrapping the initial state no longer becomes an undo entry ([#9057](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/9057)); only one client may bootstrap a nested editor's document, so an image caption or sticky note no longer gains a spurious leading paragraph — `shouldBootstrap` is documented as at-most-one-client ([#9107](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/9107)); `SharedHistoryExtension` forwards the parent `maxDepth` ([#9044](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/9044)) and shared history stacks record the state of the editor that actually changed, alongside fixes to overlays, hit targets and shared state at the editor boundary ([#9053](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/9053))

**Docs & tooling**

*   New Decorators concept guide ([#8696](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/8696)), a React MathType example ([#8692](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/8692)), a clarified vanilla quick start ([#8801](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/8801)), documented `DOMImportExtension` rule evaluation order ([#9089](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/9089)), `SKIP_DOM_SELECTION_TAG` behavior during the initial editor state ([#8636](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/8636)) and `$reverseDfs` ([#8962](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/8962)), plus an OpenGraph social preview for the website ([#8935](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/8935))
*   Upgraded to pnpm 11 ([#8816](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/8816)), cached Playwright's apt packages in CI ([#9085](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/9085)), extracted the internal-registry OIDC exchange into a reusable action ([#9084](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/9084)), fixed a `qs` dependency vulnerability ([#9072](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/9072)), quieted stderr noise in `test-unit` ([#9098](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/9098)) and moved the playground onto `ownerDocument`/`$getDocument()` for shadow DOM safety ([#8878](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/8878))
