Previously, Kakoune only handled ctrl-codes less than 27, representing them as
lower-case ASCII codes. For regular keys like <c-a>, that worked fine. However,
NUL became the unorthodox <c-`> and other ctrl-symbols (<c-\>, <c-]>, <c-_>)
weren't supported at all.
Now NUL is rendered as the more comfortable <c-space>, and the other ctrl-symbol
codes are properly decoded.
Fixes#2553.
`-atomic` becomes `-method replace` and `-method overwrite` is now
supported explicitely instead of only available through the
writemethod option.
Fixes#3827
Giving an explicit register uses its content for the default value
to use if the user does not enter anything. This enables:
`set-register a %{commands}; execute-keys '"a:<ret>'`
`set-register a %{shell script}; execute-keys '"a|<ret>'`
...
This provides a nice way to avoid the need to escape keys to use
those normal mode commands.
Fixes#3825
This avoids a frustrating behaviour where Kakoune autoinserts the first
command name when hitting <space> after a ; in a command line. It also
fixes the empty prompt case that was auto-completed instead of executing
the default command.
We try to detect when compiling under Cygwin, so we can set the
_XOPEN_SOURCE define which lets us use wcwidth(). We look for the
string "CYGWIN" in the uname, which looks like:
CYGWIN_NT-10.0
MSYS2 is also based on Cygwin, so all of the above should still work.
However, we detect Cygwin by looking for the string "CYGWIN" in the
uname. In MSYS2, the uname looks like:
MSYS_NT-10.0-18362
This patch looks for the string "_NT" instead of the string "CYGWIN"
in the uname, since it's common to both environments. This fixes a
compilation error on MSYS2.
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.
Because no flags were set for regex matching, the regex engine was
assuming that the subject string past-the-end matched a end-of-line.
As the subject string already ended with a \n character, the regex
engine processing of the "past-the-end" position would match '^$'
as ^ matched past the existing \n and $ matched the assumed
end-of-line.
Fixes#3799
Previously we would just bypass that hook making it impossible to
act on the inserted text when triggering an explicit completion after
inserting text from the previous completer.
This one has been a long time coming, I am still concerned this could
impact performance a lot. This hook does *not* trigger for capture
registers (0-9) or any other dynamic registers (that are not writable).

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.
Similarly to the <semicolon> key, make it easier to write
`:execute-keys` commands by replacing <percent> with `%`.
Highlighters can keep escaping the sign when regular expressions are
not quoted, but built-in scripts that use `%` as an editing primitive
have been modified to use the named key, for clarity.
Ranges specified with a +<length> were inconsistent, with +0 meaning
an empty range, while +1 meant a two character long range (first character
+ the following one). Change that to mean a single character.

When there are multiple empty lines between a paragraph and the cursor
(C in the example below), <a-[>p skips over one of them. Prevent the
check for the extra newline from going out of bounds.
```
a paragraph
C after <a-[>p, the first two lines will be selected
```
A command line argument like +line[:column] can be used to specify a
target line and column for the first file.
This did not work when connecting to a session, because the client
opens its file parameter with `-e "edit file1; edit file2"` which is
executed after the initial buffer position is set. Work around this by
passing the position to the first file and avoid moving the cursor
in unrelated files.
Reproduce:
kak -s foo
kak -c foo +4:11 README.asciidoc
The Ubuntu Disco distribution comes with `g++` v8 installed by default,
which is not able to deduce the return type of a particular call to
`transform()`.
This commit explicitly declares the return type to mitigate that
problem, and allow the file to compile.
Fixes#3410
Completion candidates are currently escaped with a backslash `\`
character, which leads to ugly interactive commands on the prompt,
especially when they contain space characters.
This commit makes completion candidates be escaped by simple quoting.
Examples:
candidate\ with\ spaces
\%opt{foo}
\"dquote
\'quote
become:
'candidate with spaces'
'%opt{foo}'
'"dquote'
'''quote'
