After a failed
:write file-that-already-exists
a user might want to type ":<up> -f<ret>" to force-overwrite.
This doesn't work because :write's switches must precede the filename.
It's dual :edit does not have this restriction.
Some commands require switches to precede positional arguments for a
good reason; for example because positional arguments might start with
"-" (like ":echo 1 - 1").
There seems to be no reason for the :write restriction, so remove
it. Same for :enter-user-mode.
Thanks to alexherbo2 for reporting.
Running %sYeti<ret>casdf on file
[example.journal.txt](https://github.com/mawww/kakoune/issues/4685#issuecomment-1193243588)
can cause noticeable lag. This is because we insert text at 6000
selections, which means we need to update highlighters in those lines.
The runtime for updating range highlighters is quadratic in the
number of selections: for each selection, we call on_new_range(),
which calls add_matches(), which calls std::rotate(), which needs
needs linear time.
Fix the quadratic runtime by calling std::inplace_merge() once instead
of repeatedly calling std::rotate(). This is works because ranges
are already sorted.
I used this script to benchmark the improvements.
(In hindsight I could have just used "-ui json" instead of tmux).

LineRangeSet::add_range() calls Vector::erase() in a loop over the
same vector. This could cause performance problems when there are many
selections. Fix this by only calling Vector::erase() once. I didn't
measure anything because my benchmark is dominated by another issue
(see next commit).
LineRangeSet::remove_range() also has a suspicious call to erase()
but that one is only used in test code, so it doesn't matter.
clang/clangd complain about the new HashSet type:
hash_map.cc:98:20: warning: braces around scalar initializer [-Wbraced-scalar-init]
set.insert({10});
^~~~
The argument to HashSet<int>::insert is just an int, so we don't
need braces. Only an actual HashMap would need braces to construct
a HashItem object.
When passing a filename parameter to "write", the -force parameter
allows overwriting an existing file.
The "write!" variant (which allows writing files where the current
user does not have write permissions) already implies -force.
All other variants (like write-quit or write-all) do not take a
file parameter.
Hence -force is relevant only for "write". Let's hide it from the
autoinfo of the other commands.
It's difficult to avoid duplication when constructing the constexpr
SwitchMap because String is not constexpr-enabled. Today, all our
SwitchMap objects are known at compile time, so we could make SwitchMap
use StringView to work around this. In future we might want to allow
adding switches at runtime, which would need String again to avoid
lifetime issues.
Instead of storing regexes in each regions, move them to the core
highlighter in a hash map so that shared regexes between different
regions are only applied once per update instead of once per region
Also change iteration logic to apply all regex together to each
changed lines to improve memory locality on big buffers.
For the big_markdown.md file described in #4685 this reduces
initial display time from 3.55s to 2.41s on my machine.
When I wrote this line I wanted to avoid adding the array size but
I didn't know about make_array().
I had unsuccessfully tried some alternatives, for example
Array{"a", "b", "c"}
which doesn't work because we need StringView (c.f. git blame on
this line)
also
Array<StringView>{"a", "b", "c"}
doesn't work because it's missing a template argument.
This makes the function easier to find for newcomers because
to_string() is the obvious name. It enables format() to do the
conversion automatically which seems like good idea (since there is
no other obvious representation).
Of course this change makes it a bit harder to grep but that's not
a problem with clang tooling.
We need to cast the function in one place when calling transform()
but that's acceptable.
Commit d470bd2cc (Make numeric registers setable, 2017-02-14) removed
the user-provided StaticRegister::operator= in favor of a set()
member function, so this comment is no longer valid.
Recently, switch completion were given the menu behavior.
Unfortunately this breaks cases like
:echo -- -mark<ret>
where the hypothetical user wanted to actually display "-mark", not
"-markup".
Simply bail if there is a double-dash. This is not fully correct,
for example it wrongly disables switch completion on
echo -to-file -- -
but that's minor, we can fix it later.
In future, we should reuse the ParametersParser when computing completions,
which will obsolete this workaround.
Commit 217dd6a1d (Disable history when executing maps, 2015-11-10)
made it so with
map global normal X %{:echo 123<ret>}
X does not add to prompt history (%reg{:}).
Unfortunately this behavior was not extended to mappings in the "user"
keymap, nor to mappings in custom user modes.
In my experience, not adding to history is almost always the expected
behavior for mappings. Most users achieve this by adding a leading space:
map global user X %{: echo 123<ret>}
but that's awkward. We should have good defaults (no nnoremap)
and map should work the same way across all modes.
Fix this by also disabling history when executing user mappings. This
is a breaking change but I think it only breaks hypothetical scenarios.
I found some uses where user mappings add to history but none of them
looks intentional.

This allows to select completions without pressing Tab.
There are two different obvious ways to add the menu bit.
1. When creating the "Completions" object, pass the
Completions::Flags::Menu parameter.
2. If there is a completer function like "complete_scope", wrap
it, e.g. "menu(complete_scope)".
I have settled on always using 2 if there is a completer function
and 1 otherwise.
The advantage of 2 over 1 is that it allows to use the completer
function in a context where we don't want the menu behavior
(e.g. "complete-command").
---
Now the only* completion type where we usually don't use menu behavior
is file completion. Unfortunately, menu behavior has poor interaction
with directories' trailing slashes. Consider this (contrived) example:
define-command ls -docstring "list directory contents" -params .. %{
echo -- %sh{ls "$@"}
}
complete-command -menu ls file
Run ":ls kakoun<ret>". The prompt expands to ":ls kakoune/"
before executing. Next, run ":<c-p>". This recalls ":ls kakoune/"
and immediately selects the first completion, so on validation,
the command will be ":ls kakoune/colors/", which is weird.
[*] Also, expansions like %val{bufname} also don't use menu
behavior. It wouldn't add value since validation doesn't add a
closing delimiter. I have an experimental patch that adds closing
delimiters automatically but I'm not sure if that's the right
direction.
This makes "cd<space><ret>" change to the first completion,
not to $HOME. This might be surprising but it should make sense.
I don't have a concrete motivation but this should save a Tab press
in some scenarios.
We allow to abbreviate scopes ("set g" means the same thing as "set
global") but that feature is a bit obscure. Users might figure out the
menu completion behavior faster, so let's maybe use it here as well?
Not really attached to this but it enables the next commit to use
menu() for completing scopes.
This refactoring is possible because we always have
params[token_to_complete].length() == pos_in_token
---
Instead of three separate functions, I originally tried to add
template arguments to complete_scope(). That worked fine with g++
12.1 but clang 14.0 complained when wrapping a menu() around a
complete_scope() that relied on defaulted template arguments:
commands.cc:1087:20: error: no matching function for call to 'menu'
make_completer(menu(complete_scope), menu(complete_hooks), complete_nothing,
^~~~
commands.cc:116:6: note: candidate template ignored: couldn't infer template argument 'Completer'
auto menu(Completer completer)
^
On a command prompt like
"set-option -remove buffer aligntab "
we fail to show the aligntab-specific info . Fix this by skipping a
leading -remove, just like we skip -add.
Add an explicit specialization of contains() because otherwise I'd
need to write something like
contains(Array{"-add", "remove"}, param)
