Benno Schulenberg d96f296b8e input: interpret a keystroke as Meta only when an earlier escape was solo
This allows using <Esc> <Esc> <letter> in a macro as an alternative
for <Ctrl+letter>, but it does require that one does not type <Esc>
by accident when recording a macro as it might modify the subsequent
keystroke when the macro is replayed.

This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?58904.

Bug existed since version 3.0, commit ecc9211a.

Benno Schulenberg 00ac41f632 weeding: remove another unneeded workaround for VTE
The issue is only reproducible when lying about the width
of the terminal.

It was a workaround for https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?49106.

Benno Schulenberg fe22da6b2a build: exclude a workaround for VTE/Konsole when using a recent ncurses
The workaround was for https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?51335
(a cursor-misplacement bug), but both an recent Xfce Terminal
and a recent Konsole appear unaffected by the issue.  So, drop
the workaround for modern systems.

Benno Schulenberg 0c87a4ba41 build: include a workaround for VTE only when using an older libvte
Checking for the actual version of libvte is too complicated, so
assume that libvte is 0.58 or newer (where the problem is fixed)
when ncurses is 6.2 or newer.

Benno Schulenberg 39705c60df weeding: remove a workaround for VTE that is not needed
It was only ever needed when the user lied about the size
of the terminal, which should be considered a user error.

It was a workaround for https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?48852.

Benno Schulenberg 9da23799ff tweaks: reshuffle a fragment of code, for clarity 2020-11-26 17:32:30 +01:00
Benno Schulenberg 29276d1d3a help: allow the penultimate item extra space when the number is uneven
This avoids unnecessarily truncating the last help item on the
very bottom row when there is still plenty of room.

This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?59550.

Bug has been visible since at least version 2.5.1.

Benno Schulenberg 13b839734f hellp: show all valid help items also in the Write-Out menu
Subtract one from the count only if all possible items in the menu
have been counted (item == NULL), meaning that the last item in the
Write-Out menu (the 'discard_buffer' function) has been counted too.

This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?59549.

Bug existed since version 4.5, commit b3ace4d8.

Benno Schulenberg 63bb1b62b7 gnulib: update to its current upstream state 2020-11-25 11:22:46 +01:00
Benno Schulenberg 743100feab options: do not spew out the help text when an option is not recognized
When getopt() does not recognize an option, it returns '?', which means
that '-?' cannot be used as a valid option because any invalid option
would be treated the same way as '-?'.

Spewing out the full help text drowns the "invalid option" message at
the beginning.

This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?59530.

Bug existed since version 5.3, commit 5bd92d4c.

Benno Schulenberg d3d2d324d2 statusbar: properly pluralize the line+word+character count report
This avoids poor wordings such as "Words: 1  Lines: 1  Chars: 1".

Also, display the numbers in a more logical, ascending order: lines
first, words second, characters third.  This is what 'wc' uses, too.

Benno Schulenberg dc907bfe43 prompt: skip over combining characters also when editing a search string 2020-11-17 10:27:47 +01:00
Benno Schulenberg 687efd210c moving: skip combining characters and other zero-width characters
This makes the cursor move smoothly left and right -- instead of
"stuttering" when passing over a zero-width character.

Pressing <Delete> on a normal (spacing) character also deletes
any zero-width characters after it.  But pressing <Backspace>
while the cursor is placed after a zero-width character, just
deletes that zero-width character.  The latter behavior allows
deleting and retyping just the combining diacritic of a character
instead of the whole character.

This addresses https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?50773.

Benno Schulenberg b7539ea985 weeding: remove a workaround for versions of ncurses before 5.9
(Yes, the test is for 6.0, but the bug was actually fixed in 5.9,
as far as I remember -- I just wasn't sure and didn't want to bother
building different versions of ncurses myself.)

Benno Schulenberg 7d35f71c87 weeding: remove a workaround for early versions of ncurses-6.0
Those versions are more than five years old.  If there are still
machines with those versions, people should upgrade ncurses too
if they want the newest version of nano.

Benno Schulenberg 7f184ee2ba linting: avoid putting the cursor beyond the end of the line
Some linters report a column position (assuming a TAB to be 8 spaces)
instead of a byte index, so make sure that the cursor is not placed
out of bounds when interpreting such a column number as an index.

This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?59419.

This shouldn't occur, so go down when it does.

Benno Schulenberg e96bda4b9f tweaks: avoid copying an option's argument when there is no need
This takes eight extra calls of copy_of(), but saves ten calls of
free().  But more importantly: it avoids an unneeded copying and
then freeing again of the argument after 'titlecolor' and friends.

Benno Schulenberg d9944c03c4 docs: adjust for the changed name of the header-file package on Debian

Benno Schulenberg b9d6d547b8 bindings: accept b for scrolling back up in help viewer and file browser
Like in Dillo, and because it could be mnemonic for "Back" and
is directly above the space bar (in a QWERTY layout, at least).

Benno Schulenberg 622b031e27 docs: use standard-compliant HTML entities for the four arrows
HTML 4 knows only the four-letter abbreviations for the arrows.
Use those, so that also browsers with very limited knowledge
(like Dillo) will show the arrows correctly.

Benno Schulenberg f660f22623 tweaks: slightly shorten a loop, to place the actual action outside of it
And in the bargain elide a variable, and make it clearer
what the return value is at two early exit points.

[This change makes use of the fact that TRUE (successful write) == 1
and FALSE (failed write) == 0.  But this is already used twenty lines
earlier, for the other call of write_file().]

Benno Schulenberg 2e9fb7d840 build: exclude option --tabsize (-T) from the tiny version
An unneeded option when wanting nano to be small.  Excluding it saves
roughly 120 bytes.  It also makes the output of --help nice and clean.
