Previously, the manpage listed every flag and parameter as optional, implying
that they could be used in any combination, which isn't true. As a trivial
example, to use Kakoune in "list sessions" mode, you *must* specify -l, and you
*must not* specify any other options. To use Kakoune in any other mode, you
*must not* specify -l.
By setting the ncurses_builtin_key_parser ui_option to true, we
can disable ncurses parsing of key strokes to get less portable
parsing but support for more complex modifiers.
the buffer name was not a very interesting information, whereas
the buffer range allows a hook to run only on the appended text
instead of all the buffer.
This commit also introduces a regression in that I decided that the best way to
avoid overly long and confusing names was to rename the current shell-*
switches to script-*, and have the shell command completion be
shell-completion.
renamed script-{completion,candidates} to shell-script-*
Updated docs with new switch names
Added -shell-completion switch to x11-repl and kitty-repl
Also, moved the "Markup strings" section to faces.asciidoc, since it wasn't
anything to do with expansions, and updated various hyperlinks to point at the
new location.
The GitHub issue referenced below describes the default behavior of
the 'm' key in a way that was unknown to me. As the issue says,
"'m' is a pretty misunderstood key", and goes on to describe how
the documentation makes it sound as if the cursor must be on the
matching character before 'm' will work. However, this is not true;
pressing 'm' will jump forward to "select the next sequence enclosed
in balanced chars". This patch updates the documentation so that it
describes that behavior.

Final is more granular, it consists of FinalFg (f), FinalBg (g)
and FinalAttr (a) which control if a face's fg, bg, or attributes
fully overwrite the previous face (instead of merging) and if
following faces apply on top of this face or not.
Fixes#2388 if the Whitespace face has the FinalFg flag.
Add <c-w> and <a-d> (along with <c-W> and <a-D> that work on WORDs),
and <c-y> which pastes the transient clipboard contant (which saves
big erase, such as word erase and line end/begin erase).
Fixes#2355
In the end, no better solution materialized so far, and custom
Kakoune line editing bindings are hard to remember. Using well
known readline bindings seems just more convenient.
Closes#800, although it does not contain all the binding proposed
by it (I might accept a few additional ones, such as <c-w>, but not
too much, I still see that as a hack pending a nicer solution).
