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.

`x` is often criticized as hard to predict due to its slightly complex
behaviour of selecting next line if the current one is fully selected.
Change `x` to use the previous `<a-x>` behaviour, and change `<a-x>` to
trim to fully selected lines as `<a-X>` did.
Adapt existing indentation script to the new behaviour
`-atomic` becomes `-method replace` and `-method overwrite` is now
supported explicitely instead of only available through the
writemethod option.
Fixes#3827
The menu flag signifies that only the completions are valid arguments,
hence it makes sense to auto insert the best one on space.
Because full match is always considered the best match in completion
ranking, this should always have a reasonable behaviour.
This makes it harder to enter a hidden command, but completion can
always be disabled via <c-o> or by quoting in those rare cases.
It's unclear what the `send-text` alias does at first glance,
so prefixing it with "repl-" both fixes that and helps make it
discoverable via the command prompt's fuzzy matcher.
The `repl` alias also seems too generic a name, the "-new" suffix
should hopefully give a hint that it creates a new window.
Only include the value for int/str/bool options, for the rest just
write '<option name>=...'.
This should reduce the cost of some patterns such as repeatedly adding
a value inside a list option.
It seems very unlikely that the actual value would be matched by
a hook regex string for non primitive types.
-verbatim will disable argument parsing in evaluate-commands, making
it possible to forward a single command to a different context without
triggering a reparsing of the arguments.
Fixes -try-client support in grep.kak
Closes#3153
