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.
This one has been a long time coming, I am still concerned this could
impact performance a lot. This hook does *not* trigger for capture
registers (0-9) or any other dynamic registers (that are not writable).
Fixes#859
Properly speaking, all expansions are of the form "%abc{}" where "abc"
is the expansion type. All expansion types are listed in the documentation, as
they should be. However, when searching through the documentation, a keyword
like "file" is likely to hit a lot of false-positives, so a smart user is likely
to search for the more-unique "%file" instead. Unfortunately, unlike every other
expansion-type, file-expansions did not include an example, so a search for
"%file" resulted in no hits, potentially leading people to believe it was
undocumented.
Now there's an example, so people searching for "%file" will find what they're
looking for.
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.
Similarly to the <semicolon> key, make it easier to write
`:execute-keys` commands by replacing <percent> with `%`.
Highlighters can keep escaping the sign when regular expressions are
not quoted, but built-in scripts that use `%` as an editing primitive
have been modified to use the named key, for clarity.
The fact that punctuation characters can act as surrounding
delimiters is a useful behavior but not obvious.
This "hidden" text-object feature deserves to be described explicitely.
