* Polish some grammar in places.
* Correct some capitalization nitpicks.
* Use "newline" rather than "line feed", which tends to be more common
in Kakoune's documentation thusfar.
I rephrased some sections, as some of them read a little odd.
* Zero width assertions
* Consistently use "subject's beginning" instead of "subject begin",
it reads better.
* Improve the flow of the word boundary descriptions.
* Modifiers
* Improve phrasing to emphasize the linear nature of their usage and
remove a double negative.
* Use `.` instead of "dot", since that aids in searching through the
page for things talking about the dot character.
* Compatibility
* Use asciidoc syntax for the link to the ECMA-262 standard.
* Use better punctuation on the point about escapes.
In some cases, it may be difficult to easily spot the area out of the buffer
(bad color scheme, small font, superimposed windows).
This patch adds two ncurses ui_options to bypass this problem:
- `ncurses_padding_char`, to configure the padding character,
- `ncurses_padding_fill`, to indicate whether to fill the padding line
(or to display a single character).
The default config is the legacy one (a single "~").
Fixes issue #2377 by removing the ability to escape backticks in backticks in compliance with asciidoc's behaviour. Adjusted hooks.asciidoc, keys.asciidoc, and command-parsing.asciidoc to match accordingly.
`-atomic` becomes `-method replace` and `-method overwrite` is now
supported explicitely instead of only available through the
writemethod option.
Fixes#3827
The menu flag signifies that only the completions are valid arguments,
hence it makes sense to auto insert the best one on space.
Because full match is always considered the best match in completion
ranking, this should always have a reasonable behaviour.
This makes it harder to enter a hidden command, but completion can
always be disabled via <c-o> or by quoting in those rare cases.
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.
