It allows plugins to create generic terminal using the user's preferred windowing system
For example, it can be used to run fzf, gdb or simply a shell.
* 'new' commands are refactored to simply use the 'terminal' one
* style and docstrings has been unified
* all windowing systems go through "sh -c" for consistency purposes, even if unnecessary
Automatic reparsing of %sh{...}, while convenient in many cases,
can be surprising as well, and can lead to security problems:
'echo %sh{ printf "foo\necho bar" }' runs 'echo foo', then 'echo bar'.
we make this danger explicit, and we fix the 'nop %sh{...}' pattern.
To reparse %sh{...} strings, they can be passed to evaluate-commands,
which has been fixed to work in every cases where %sh{...} reparsing
was used..
Note: `GNU/screen` has a different interpretation of what constitutes
a "vertical split", hence the inverted command descriptions, compared
to the tmux/iterm etc.
Closes#1626
`tmux` will start new processes (e.g. when creating panes or windows)
with the same environment it was started with, which means that if the
$TMPDIR variable was overriden for the kakoune server from within
`tmux`, newly created panes/windows won't have access to the server
socket to sustain a session.
This commit fixes the issue by always exporting the $TMPDIR variable
from the parent `tmux` environment to the new processes.
Fixes#1319
Level out the builtin commands loaded at startup in terms of format and
expressiveness. The following convention was followed:
* commands that take more than one argument have to be described along
with their parameters prior to the actual documentation, otherwise the
docstring consists in a capitalized sentence
e.g. `command <arg1>: do something`
* optional arguments are enclosed in square brackets, to comply with the
format used for hardcoded commands
e.g. `cd [<directory>]`
* describe the effects of the command in the documentation string and
omit implementation details unless they are relevant. Usually command
names include the name of the tool they use, so they don't need to be
redundantly mentioned
e.g. `tmux-new-pane <arguments>: open a new pane`
* document the format the parameters to the commands, or list them if
they are to be chosen among a list of static values (c.f. `spell.kak`)
