Benno Schulenberg 88f7ec38f8 docs: spell "filename" as a single word, like in most other occurrences 2021-09-15 10:27:31 +02:00

Benno Schulenberg 7d6ffd9e78 docs: don't use "light" after "bold", as the latter often implies "light"
On most terminals "bold" also makes the relevant text lighter (or just
makes it lighter, like on a Linux console).  Only some terminals allow
the user to switch this coupling of bold to light off.

Hussam al-Homsi b8daf1fb0b docs: correct the default value of the errorcolor option
It should be "bold,white,red" instead of "brightwhite,red"
because "bright" is deprecated and not documented.

Benno Schulenberg fe5f05f037 files: give the user time to absorb a warning about someone else editing
That is: pause a little to jolt the user, and then leave the message
on the status bar.

This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?61147.

Bug existed since version 4.8, commit 416386ed.

This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?61146

Bug existed since version 2.3.2, since --locking was introduced,
and continued to exist since version 4.8 despite commit 497f126b

Benno Schulenberg 650dc14e0f tweaks: rename a defined type, to fit within the general pattern
So that it can be colorized as a type by a general syntax rule.

Benno Schulenberg 9f24b6ea65 po: delete the ancient PO files for Indonesian and Nynorsk
These files haven't been updated in more than fifteen years and their

Also, prevent them from coming back when next syncing with the TP.

Benno Schulenberg 694cd9ddd4 build: ensure that mkstemps() is available by importing the gnulib module
The mkstemps() function is not part of the POSIX standard,

Benno Schulenberg 47c8e627f4 build: help Haiku find the header files that define mkstemps()
The documentation (https://www.haiku-os.org/docs/api/libroot.html)

does not seem to be the case on my system.  With _DEFAULT_SOURCE
defined, though, src/files.c now compiles fine.

Benno Schulenberg f429ebe34d files: add the original file's suffix to the name of a temporary file

console (on Debian and friends).

Hussam al-Homsi ef6ccc47c8 syntax: perl, ruby: remove arbitrary highlighting of here documents
The rules assume that 'STOP' (for Perl) or EOT (for Ruby) is the
terminating string while it could be anything.  Also, the rules
don't take quotes nor backticks nor a tilde into account.

In short: these coloring rules are far too limited.

Benno Schulenberg d9469b894f tweaks: remove a redundant feedback message
Any error message will already have been written to the terminal by
statusline().  Also, "Buffer not written to" looked too much like
"Buffer written to"; one had to look closely to see the difference.

Benno Schulenberg 6b9c24f7dd feedback: when not in curses mode, write error messages to the terminal

Benno Schulenberg 806e8e439f tweaks: reshuffle some lines to elide a variable
Having a local variable that gets assigned to just once looks rather
poor.  To me it makes more sense to have two separate exit points: one
for failure somewhere in the middle, and one for success at the end.
This way it is completely clear which value gets returned when.

Benno Schulenberg 30aaea2d04 tweaks: rename a variable and flip its logic, to avoid two negations

Benno Schulenberg 177e4e5805 general: prevent die() from getting recursed into
When something that is called from die() calls die() again,
there is nothing we can do any more but give up.

This would have prevented the spiralling as
seen in https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?60853.

Benno Schulenberg 8d1a666dcf input: give up on the input stream only after millions of errors
This mitigates a problem seen sometimes among the Red Hat crash reports:
somehow wgetch() keeps returning ERR, as if it were in nodelay mode.
(I've seen this happen once after nano came out of suspension.)

Using a much larger error-count value gives the user a few seconds
to type something and hopefully get out of the error condition.
