Now that we have a nice standard way to express lists of strings,
registers can be fully exposed. An new $kak_main_reg_... env var
was added to provide the previous behaviour which is relied on by
doc.kak.
Option lists and maps are specified using separate arguments, avoiding
the need for additional escaping of their separator and reusing the
existing command line spliting logic instead.
As discussed on #2087, this should make it much easier to work with
list options, and make the general option system feel cleaner.
Command line parsing now works as follow:
* Quoted strings ('...', "..." and %~...~ with '~' non nestable)
use 'doubling-up' for escaping their delimiter, if the delimiter
appears twice in a row, it is considered as part of the string and
represent one delimiter character. So 'abc''def' == "abc'def". No
other escaping takes place in those strings.
* Balanced strings (%{...}) do not support any kind of escaping, but
finds the matching closing delimiter by taking nesting into account.
So %{abc{def}} == "abc{def}".
* Non quoted words support escaping of `;` and whitespaces with `\`,
`%`, `'` and '"` can be escaped with `\` at the start of the word,
they do not need escaping (and will not be escaped) else where in
a word where they are treated literally. Any other use of '\' is a
literal '\'. So \%abc%\;\ def == "%abc%; def"
As discussed in #2046 this should make our command line syntax more
robust, provide a simple programmatic way to escape a string content
(s/<delim>/<delim><delim>/g), be well defined instead of ad-hoc
undocumented behaviour, and interact nicely with other common
escaping by avoiding escaping hell (:grep <regex> can in most case
be written with the regex unquoted).
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..
Aliases are considered again in command name completion, but only
if they are more than 3 charactes long. This should prevent cluttering
with aliases while still letting long ones being completed.
Not only are display columns rarely used to give error positions,
but they make the parsing much slower as for each token we need to
compute the column in the line.
This commit allows setting the `commands` flag to the `debug` option, in
order to have the engine write on the *debug* buffer the commands that are
being executed, along with their arguments.
When a comment was present directly on the same line after a command,
we did not correctly see the command as terminated and would join
continue parsing the next line.
The command map can get mutated by command execution, so the iterators
can get invalidated (now that we use our curstom HashMap implementation,
all iterators are potentially invalidated by insert/removal)
