This makes the function easier to find for newcomers because
to_string() is the obvious name. It enables format() to do the
conversion automatically which seems like good idea (since there is
no other obvious representation).
Of course this change makes it a bit harder to grep but that's not
a problem with clang tooling.
We need to cast the function in one place when calling transform()
but that's acceptable.
After opening a markdown file
```b
```
```c
int main() {}
```
markdown-load-languages will run an "evaluate-commands -itersel".
The first selection makes us run "require-module b", which fails
because that module can't be found. Since -itersel only ignores the
"no selection remaining" error we fail to run "require-module c". Fix
this by ignoring errors.
Commit d470bd2cc (Make numeric registers setable, 2017-02-14) removed
the user-provided StaticRegister::operator= in favor of a set()
member function, so this comment is no longer valid.
Dockerfiles of the form `Dockerfile.foo-bar` were not detected for syntax
highlighting.
Mainly meaning for this to capture _ and -, but I don't see why we wouldn't
capture any special character.
Recently, switch completion were given the menu behavior.
Unfortunately this breaks cases like
:echo -- -mark<ret>
where the hypothetical user wanted to actually display "-mark", not
"-markup".
Simply bail if there is a double-dash. This is not fully correct,
for example it wrongly disables switch completion on
echo -to-file -- -
but that's minor, we can fix it later.
In future, we should reuse the ParametersParser when computing completions,
which will obsolete this workaround.
So far they have only been talked about in source code
(HistoryRegister), not in documentation.
Let's give them an official name so users can find them better;
"prompt history register" seems better than "history register" since
the former gives more context. OTOH, in future other registers (like @)
could grow into history registers, so I'm not sure.
State that the history registers are only changed by _interactive_
prompts; that's not quite true yet for user modes but I'll push a
separate fix for that.
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.
Commit 217dd6a1d (Disable history when executing maps, 2015-11-10)
made it so with
map global normal X %{:echo 123<ret>}
X does not add to prompt history (%reg{:}).
Unfortunately this behavior was not extended to mappings in the "user"
keymap, nor to mappings in custom user modes.
In my experience, not adding to history is almost always the expected
behavior for mappings. Most users achieve this by adding a leading space:
map global user X %{: echo 123<ret>}
but that's awkward. We should have good defaults (no nnoremap)
and map should work the same way across all modes.
Fix this by also disabling history when executing user mappings. This
is a breaking change but I think it only breaks hypothetical scenarios.
I found some uses where user mappings add to history but none of them
looks intentional.

If I use "man dirname" and select "basename"
SEE ALSO
basename(1), readlink(1)
^------^
then pressing <ret> to trigger man-jump selects everything from "ALSO"
until "basename(1)" Obviously that's not the name of a man page,
so it fails. When I select only "asename" it works.
The bad selection happens because we use a combination of <a-?> and ?
to extend the selection to a full link. This is more complicated than
it needs to be; let's just select the surrounding WORD. This works
fine because man page links never start mid-word, and trailing
characters are ignored anyway.
This allows to select completions without pressing Tab.
There are two different obvious ways to add the menu bit.
1. When creating the "Completions" object, pass the
Completions::Flags::Menu parameter.
2. If there is a completer function like "complete_scope", wrap
it, e.g. "menu(complete_scope)".
I have settled on always using 2 if there is a completer function
and 1 otherwise.
The advantage of 2 over 1 is that it allows to use the completer
function in a context where we don't want the menu behavior
(e.g. "complete-command").
---
Now the only* completion type where we usually don't use menu behavior
is file completion. Unfortunately, menu behavior has poor interaction
with directories' trailing slashes. Consider this (contrived) example:
define-command ls -docstring "list directory contents" -params .. %{
echo -- %sh{ls "$@"}
}
complete-command -menu ls file
Run ":ls kakoun<ret>". The prompt expands to ":ls kakoune/"
before executing. Next, run ":<c-p>". This recalls ":ls kakoune/"
and immediately selects the first completion, so on validation,
the command will be ":ls kakoune/colors/", which is weird.
[*] Also, expansions like %val{bufname} also don't use menu
behavior. It wouldn't add value since validation doesn't add a
closing delimiter. I have an experimental patch that adds closing
delimiters automatically but I'm not sure if that's the right
direction.
This makes "cd<space><ret>" change to the first completion,
not to $HOME. This might be surprising but it should make sense.
I don't have a concrete motivation but this should save a Tab press
in some scenarios.
We allow to abbreviate scopes ("set g" means the same thing as "set
global") but that feature is a bit obscure. Users might figure out the
menu completion behavior faster, so let's maybe use it here as well?
Not really attached to this but it enables the next commit to use
menu() for completing scopes.
This refactoring is possible because we always have
params[token_to_complete].length() == pos_in_token
---
Instead of three separate functions, I originally tried to add
template arguments to complete_scope(). That worked fine with g++
12.1 but clang 14.0 complained when wrapping a menu() around a
complete_scope() that relied on defaulted template arguments:
commands.cc:1087:20: error: no matching function for call to 'menu'
make_completer(menu(complete_scope), menu(complete_hooks), complete_nothing,
^~~~
commands.cc:116:6: note: candidate template ignored: couldn't infer template argument 'Completer'
auto menu(Completer completer)
^
On a command prompt like
"set-option -remove buffer aligntab "
we fail to show the aligntab-specific info . Fix this by skipping a
leading -remove, just like we skip -add.
Add an explicit specialization of contains() because otherwise I'd
need to write something like
contains(Array{"-add", "remove"}, param)
