This commit allows using the <semicolon> expansion in commands, instead
of `\;`.
It makes commands look more elegant, and prevents new-comers from
falling into the trap of using <a-;> without escaping the semicolon.
The UI now can send a 'Scroll' key, whose value is the scrolling
amount encoded as a signed integer. This replaces the MouseWheelUp
and MouseWheelDown keys.
The NCursesUI now has a ncurses_wheel_scroll_amount ui_option that
controls that amount, it can be negative to swap scrolling direction.

The `parse_keys()` function is case insensitive when parsing function keys,
while the `key_to_str()` function always returns a capitalized key
description.
When users hook on the lowercase name of a function key,
e.g. `NormalKey <f10>`, and later hit that same key in normal mode, the
`key_to_str()` will convert it to the uppercase description ("<F10>").
This results into a hook with a lowercase regex predicate being unsuccessfully
matched against an uppercase key description by the hook manager, which
works on a case sensitive basis.
One solution could be to uppercase all function key descriptions passed as
hook filter upon declaration, but detecting that is not trivial as the
filter can contain more than just the simple <f\d+> data, e.g.
---
hook global InsertKey '<(?<name>\w+)>' %{…}
---
Another simpler solution that this commit implements is to allow only <F\d+>
descriptions in `parse_keys()`, and hope users will know not to use the
lowercase notation when declaring hooks.
Fixes#2907
The current implementation treats left mouse button clicks as a
generic "mouse press" modifier, this commit extends the list of
modifiers by adding a "right mouse click" one.
The proper way to implement this would be to ship the coordinates
of mouse key press events in each `Key` object, and pass whichever
button was clicked as a codepoint value (instead of coordinates
currently), but this would require more work.
This commit allows:
* right clicks to set the cursor of the main selection
* control-right clicks to merge all the selections, and then set
its cursor
Fixes#843
Because keyboard layouts vary, the shift-modifier `<s-…>` is only supported
for special keys (like `<up>` and `<home>`) and for ASCII lowercase where
we assume the shift-modifier just produces the matching uppercase character.
Even that's not universally true, since in Turkish `i` and `I` are not an
uppercase/lowercase pair, but Kakoune's default keyboard mappings already
assume en-US mappings for mnemonic purposes.
Mappings of the form `<s-x>` are normalized to `<X>` when `x` is an ASCII
character. `<backtab>` is removed, since we can now say `<s-tab>`.
Add a ColumnCount type and use it in place of CharCount whenever
more appropriate, take column size of codepoints into account for
vertical movements and docstring wrapping.
Fixes#811
