When using either of
set-option g completers option=my_option
prompt -shell-script-candidates ...
While the search text is empty, the completions will be sorted
alphabetically.
This is bad because it means the most important entries are not listed
first, making them harder to select or even spot.
Let's apply input order before resorting to sorting alphabetically.
In theory there is a more elegant solution: sort candidates (except
if they're user input) before passing them to RankedMatch, and then
always use stable sort. However that doesn't work because we use a
heap which doesn't support stable sort.
Closes#1709, #4813
This adds a somewhat discoverable frontend for common uses of the
patch command.
Here are some frequently used commands
# apply selected changes
git apply
# revert selected changes
git apply -R
# stage selected changes
git apply --cached
# unstage selected changes
git apply --cached -R
# apply selected changes and stage them
git apply --index
For everyday use that's a lot of typing so I recommend adding mappings.
This commit adds `diff_add_char`, `diff_mod_char`, `diff_del_char` and `diff_top_char` as `str` options, with typical
defaults.
This commit also replaces the hard coded +, _, ≃, etc. hardcoded characters in `git update-diff` to use the options from
above.
We often use the pattern «map global normal ": foo"». The space
after the colon is unnecessary since execution of the mapping won't
add to history anyway, since 217dd6a1d (Disable history when executing
maps, 2015-11-10).
With the parent commit, the space is no longer necessary for user
mappings, so there is no reason to continue the cargo-cult.
Remove the space from mappings to set a good example.
There is a bug that causes `:git show-diff` to fail when using an external diff, for example difftastic.
This change ensures that we don't use an external diff tool when diffing the current buffer.
The wrapper for "git blame" creates flags for each line of the buffer.
It parses the output from git and would send a flag (or a series of
flags) each time the commit to blame for a line differs from the
previous one. For files that were touched by a large number of commits,
this results in a high number of kakoune processes being launched, and
may take some time. This is visible in the session through the flags for
the different commits appearing on the lines one by one, possibly during
several seconds.
To speed up the process, batch flags before passing them to the kak
session. One solution could be to send all flags at once, but this might
delay the appearance of commit info for too long if "git blame" really
takes a long time. The alternative solution retained for this commit
consists in grouping as many flags as we can during one second
(roughly), to pass them to kakoune, and then to move on to the next
flags. This way, a new batch of commit information flags appears every
second or so in the client, until all information is added. This should
be much faster than lauching a kakoune process for each commit
reported by "git blame": tests have shown that blaming a large file in
the Linux repository goes 4.5 times faster when batching flags.

git-diff-goto-source is specific to diffs produced by Git. This patch
generalizes the logic and moves it to a new diff-jump in diff.kak.
The main differences are:
- diff-jump handles plain file diffs (i.e. without the -r option). These
have no "diff" line. This means that it needs to parse +++/--- instead.
- diff-jump can go to the old file, not just the new one.
- diff-jump allows to override the base directory and the number of
directory components to strip.
git-diff-goto-source was implemented with several nested try/catch
blocks. Implementing the extra features would have added more
nesting, redundancy or hidden options. To avoid that, I ported the
parsing logic to Perl (which git.kak already depends on). Maybe
it's possible to do the same in awk.
Potential concerns:
- We could move diff-jump to a new rc/tools/diff.kak but then it's not
obvious where the "diff" module belongs to.
- Should diff "diff-jump -1" be spelled "diff-jump -p1"?
In future, the diff parser could be reused to implement a vimdiff-style
feature: given a diff and the "old" line number, we can compute the
corresponding "new" line number. Perhaps diff-jump should get a -client
argument.
We want to move git-diff-goto-source from rc/tools/git.kak
to rc/filetype/diff.kak (or should we could create
rc/tools/diff.kak?). Either way, create the diff module so we can
formalize this dependency.
Currently this module only provides highlighters, so require it
wherever we reference them.
Keep the diff-select-{file,hunk} commands outside the module because
people might already use them in git buffers.
adds the ability to press <ret> within a hunk and navigate to the original
source code. This can be useful because one often needs to go back and forth
between the diff and the full source code.
- You can press <ret> anywhere _within_ a hunk i.e. lines that start with
` `, `+`, `-`. You will be taken to the exact line in the source that corresponds
to where you pressed <ret> in the hunk. It actually does not make sense
to press <ret> on a `-` line because that does not exist anymore but
in that case you are taken to a nearby line in the hope this is still useful.
- You can also press <ret> on a range line (lines that
look like @@ ... @@). If you press <ret> on anywhere on a range line e.g.
```
@@ -120,3 +123,4 @@ fn some_function {
```
The code will try to navigate to the section heading "fn some_function {"
Note that the section heading is _not_ necessarily located at the
range line (in the above example the range line is 123).
- You can press <ret> on a +++ line also and you will be taken the first
line of the file
Caveats:
- Navigation to the original source file will be accurate only if any edits to
the original source file have been saved to disk, because otherwise
they will not be detected by the `:git diff` or `:git show` commands
- This feature should work well for most typical uses e.g. `:git diff`, `:git diff HEAD^`
`:git diff <some-sha1>`. In fact this feature should work in all scenarios when
the *current files* on disk are being compared _with_ some arbitrary git revision/staging.
It will be less useful in other scenarios when two arbitrary revisions are being
compared to each other or when you are trying to compare staging to some revision.
For example when you invoke `:git diff --staged` you are trying to compare staging
with HEAD but are navigating to what is currently on disk (which may be different
from staging).

This adds two things I forgot in
9a7d8df4 (Avoid accidentally using environment variables in sh scopes)
Mea culpa, the problem was that I was skipping matches with "filetype"
because that's usually just a hook parameter as in "WinSetOption filetype=.."
rg --pcre2 '\b(?!filetype=)\w+=' rc/
So I missed these two cases where a shell variable is actually called "filetype".
The one in git.kak was not a problem because show_git_cmd_output is only
ever called with sane inputs. However, file.kak does use the filetype
environment variable for many mime types, for example:
filetype=somefiletype\''; echo -debug injection; nop '\' kak /dev/null
Will run the echo since /dev/null has mime type "inode/chardevice"
Looks like hyphens and periods are sometimes printed as part of
git-log(1)’s graphing feature; for example, in this repository:
git log --graph 55e7f857
Adds support for highlighting git-status(1) output in short format
(--short) and with branch name (--branch), including file renames and
commits ahead/behind information.
Change regular expression in git blame, removing braces. New expression is supported on various awk engines used in some distributions as default ones. As trade-off, the new expression accepts more input character sequences.
