- the file was edited with a different editor/program or
- kak didn't restore a backup or
- if old backups weren't purged or
- if autorestore wasn't loaded (e.g. `kak -n`) after backups were generated.
Sometimes the implementation of `man` will display errors, e.g.
```
<standard input>:4808: warning [p 54, 13.2i]: can't break line
```
Those errors are harmless but are still reported on the debug buffer,
so we hide them by redirecting the standard error stream to /dev/null.
When using the `man` filetype to make use of the text highlighters
of the `man.kak` script, the documentation pages inherit from the
window resizing hooks that won't work on `doc` buffers.
Fixes#1591
Highlighting perl regex patterns with regular expressions (with
highlighters) caused several misses that made most of the file
unreadable. This commit makes `perl.kak` not try to highlight
those patterns in the code, and also addresses issues with string
highlighting.
Import keywords are put in keyword face instead of meta face.
This leaves room for pragmas and macros to be in the meta face.
Operator keywords are put in keyword face too.
Finally, expression keywords are put in face attribute.
Previously, if you opened a new line after an underlined heading (what
the CommonMark spec calls a "Setext heading") or inserted a newline into
a line that started with `**strong emphasis**` the Markdown autoindent
hook would assume the leading symbols were list bullets and paste them
at the beginning of the new line.
However, the CommonMark specification says that list bullets must be
followed by at least one horizontal whitespace character, so Setext
heading underlines and strong emphasis are not valid list bullets and
should not be matched by the autoindent pattern.
This commit changes the regex that selects the pastable prefix of the
previous line so that it must match either:
- One or more `>` characters with optional whitespace between them
(a blockquote prefix), optionally followed by a list bullet; or
- An optional blockquote prefix and a list bullet
Since we don't strictly need either the blockquote prefix nor the list
bullet, we could concievably just make both optional... but for lines
without either, the regex would find a zero-length match, and for the
purposes of copy/paste Kakoune treats that as a one-character match.
Therefore, the regex is written to fail if neither pattern is found.
When used just after grepping, grep-next-match ended up jumping to
the second match, as `0g` is the same as `g`.
The fix itself is pretty ugly, a better one might be to distinguish
the `0` count from no count given, so that `0g` could fail with
"no such line" or similar.
Looking up the man page for `index` was failing on systems using
GNU/coreutils. The `:man` command matched whatever page it was given with
the `expr` utility. This tool behaves as expected when it follows strictly
the POSIX standard but the GNU implementation introduces additional commands
(including `index`), about which the standard states:
```
The use of string arguments length, substr, index, or match produces unspecified results.
```
As a result, parsing the man page number is now implemented with pure
shell expansions, to avoid triggering an undefined behavior when the topic
searched is one of the keywords above.
The previous implementation used to replace the contents of the buffer with
whatever the `formatcmd` was returning, regardless of the exit code of the
command, which led to the buffer being wiped out on error.
This commit does the formatting in a temporary file, and only replaces the
current buffer with the contents of the -formatted- temporary file if the
`formatcmd` returned successfully.
Fixes#1357
this uses the string opening regex from the c-family highlighter to prevent
highlighting the rest of the file as a string on encountering the character
literal '"'
Generalize this option type, which is a timestamped list of
<line number>|<arbitrary string>. That way this type is not strongly
coupled with the flag-lines highlighter, and can be reused for other
use cases.
range-faces are now used to replace-range highlighters, where the string
part is not interpretted as a face but as a display line, so the name was
not relevant anymore.
These are less useful with more static words, and they are
woefully incomplete: no support -docstring for map, set
uses the variable face, but there is no corresponding
highlighter for decl or %opt{..}.
`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
This commit allows buffers that were not previously written to disk to
be restored if a backup has been generated in their name. Consequently,
we got rid of a few non-POSIX calls to `find` (using `-maxdepth` or
`-delete`), and of the logic that detected the newest backup (which
didn't seem a good reason enough to steer away from a portable command).
Fixes#1236
The Debian implementation of `man-db` does not strip ANSI sequences out
of the file, even though the documentation says it would do so. The
commit that originally closed this issue wasn't related to the problem
experienced, this one hopefully addresses it.
This commit also addresses an issue with the `-i` flag in BSD `sed`
which expects an argument (the GNU implementation doesn't).
Fixes#1098
