Each selection undo operation is surrounded by pair of
begin_edition()/end_edition() calls.
The original reason for adding these was that in one of my preliminary
versions, a WinDisplay hook could break an undo chain, even if the
hook did not affect selections at all. This has since been fixed.
By surrounding the undo with begin_edition()/end_edition(), try to
ensure that any selection modification that happens in a WinDisplay
hook would not break the undo chain. Essentially this means that,
after using <c-h> to undo a buffer change, this was meant to
make sure that <c-k> could redo that buffer change.
However, it turns out this actually doesn't work. The attached test
case triggers an assertion. As described in the first paragraph,
the only real-world motivation for this is gone, so let's simplify
the behavior.
The assertion fix means that we can test the next commit better.
`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
Giving an explicit register uses its content for the default value
to use if the user does not enter anything. This enables:
`set-register a %{commands}; execute-keys '"a:<ret>'`
`set-register a %{shell script}; execute-keys '"a|<ret>'`
...
This provides a nice way to avoid the need to escape keys to use
those normal mode commands.
Fixes#3825
Change the logic of open line commands so that if a selection lies
on the end of line character of the line from which we open a new
line, that selection does not move.
If we have two clients, A and B, with B's cursor on the eol character
of line L, and A hits `o` while on line L, B's cursor should stay
on the same (logical) line. Previous behaviour would make B's cursor
jump on the newly inserted line.
Various places in Kakoune code used to modify selections so that
cursors would not lie on an end of line. Remove those to increase
Kakoune's consistency and simplicity.
Now that end of lines are highlighted separately, they should not
be handled specially in most commands.
Avoiding end of line is a behaviour we avoid (pun intended) more and more
in Kakoune source code, now that end of lines are regularly selected, it
makes no sense to just to next line when last modification lies on an EOL
(and it probably did not make much sense back when that code was written).
