So far they have only been talked about in source code
(HistoryRegister), not in documentation.
Let's give them an official name so users can find them better;
"prompt history register" seems better than "history register" since
the former gives more context. OTOH, in future other registers (like @)
could grow into history registers, so I'm not sure.
State that the history registers are only changed by _interactive_
prompts; that's not quite true yet for user modes but I'll push a
separate fix for that.
`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
