Some terminals misbehave when queried for output synchronization support,
such as Windows Terminal as reported in
https://github.com/mawww/kakoune/issues/5032
The relatively long response from a terminal which does support output-sync
is also prone to getting torn over a slow link such as a serial console,
causing stray input to the editor.
In ui_options, the terminal_synchronized option controls the use of this
feature, but unfortunately the query is unconditionally sent at startup
even when this is set false.
Skip the query at startup when terminal_synchronized is explicitly false.
We query at most once per terminal in set_ui_options so the behaviour
is correct both when kakoune is started with terminal_synchronized unset
and when it is started with terminal_synchronized set false but this is
later unset.
Text pasted into Kakoune's normal mode is interpreted as command
sequence, which is probably never what the user wants. Text
pasted during insert mode will be inserted fine but may trigger
auto-indentation hooks which is likely not what users want.
Bracketed paste is pair of escape codes sent by terminals that allow
applications to distinguish between pasted text and typed text.
Let's use this feature to always insert pasted text verbatim, skipping
keymap lookup and the InsertChar hook. In future, we could add a
dedicated Paste hook.
We need to make a decision on whether to paste before or after the
selection. I chose "before" because that's what I'm used to.
TerminalUI::set_on_key has
EventManager::instance().force_signal(0);
I'm not sure if we want the same for TerminalUI::set_on_paste?
I assume it doesn't matter because they are always called in tandem.
Closes#2465
Some plugins (*cough* kak-lsp) and help texts tend to have immensely long content
in a single line. This generates info boxes that span the entire terminal width.
This is made especially worse on widescreen monitors or at small text size.
This grants user control over how wide these boxes are.
I deliberately avoid pushing this change to `kak-lsp` because it's not the only
plugin that this could help--see the `hook` help text for an example of this
problem in vanilla Kakoune. I would also suggest that since this is a rendering
concern, it be handled by the terminal rendering logic.
Enable it if supported by default, let the user override it with
the existing terminal_synchronized ui option.
This should finalize work discussed on #4317
Synchronized output does not work well with various terminals
(including the linux console). It should also be unnecessary when
not going through a slow link.
This will eventually be removed if it is not proven to be useful
to some users.
This should reduce flicker, by avoiding transient states where
info/menu windows are not displayed, and paves the way for proper
diffing of the screen.
