2015-06-23GTK UI: beep on errorRobin Haberkorn1-0/+3
* the Curses UI does that too
2015-06-23never show the horizontal scrollbar by defaultRobin Haberkorn1-0/+7
* the GTK UI shows the horizontal scrollbar by default, while Scinterm doesn't. Since showing them with Scintilla's default settings is ugly but setting them up properly is costly and should be decided by the user.
2015-06-23GTK UI: disable keyboard and mouse interaction with Scintilla viewsRobin Haberkorn1-0/+16
* this has long been broken in the GTK UI. It must not be possible to let Scintilla react to mouse and keyboard events since all side-effects on the buffer state must be via the SciTECO language.
2015-06-22major GTK UI rewrite: use a separate execution threadRobin Haberkorn2-45/+284
* the execution thread does not block the main thread (with the main loop). * therefore if SciTECO executes a long-running macro, the UI stays "responsive". * also this allows us to handle ^C interruptions. This is part of the solution to #4 for GTK+ UIs. * to speed up execution and avoid frequent UI redraws (now that we run concurrently, there are even more redraws), the view change is applied only after key presses. * also we freeze all UI updates on the view during SciTECO's key processing. * Closing the window, requests a graceful execution thread shut down. This may later be extended to allow programmable window close-behaviour using a special function key macro (e.g. mapped to the "Break" key).
2015-06-22fixed compilation of GTK+ UIRobin Haberkorn2-32/+34
2015-06-22sample.teco_ini: avoid unnecessary ED-hook recursionsRobin Haberkorn1-0/+5
* disable ED hook while exuting the "add" hook. This avoids the "edit" hook being invoked recursively. * the speed improvement was not measurable, but it also won't hurt
2015-06-22disable PDCurses/win32a "function keys"Robin Haberkorn1-1/+25
* this fixes the CTRL+V command * PDC_set_function_key() may be used to implement a "shutdown" function key macro later on. * interruptions via CTRL+C are not (easily) possible in this port of PDCurses - similar to XCurses. However, I may ask the author if this is possible.
2015-06-22improved ncurses/win32 supportRobin Haberkorn2-16/+12
* CTRL+C interruptions are now possible. ncurses/win32 needs a noraw() (bug!?) and the console_ctrl_handler for this to work. * setting the window title is not possible on this port * stdio output can be redirected, even in interactive mode. Also, we can write to stdout/stderr even in interactive mode without disrupting the terminal. After endwin(), the user will see these messages (if they haven't been redirected). * there's one bug left: the Scintilla cursor is not drawn correctly at the end of lines. * part of the solution to #4
2015-06-22added XCurses supportRobin Haberkorn4-10/+77
* enabled via --with-interface=xcurses, so we can configure it automatically via xcurses-config. This also adds XCURSES_CFLAGS and XCURSES_LIBS. * The X11 window class name is set to "SciTECO". X11 resource overrides can currently not be set via sciteco's command line. The user may use .Xdefaults though. * interruptions via CTRL+C are currently not supported. Apparently, XCurses also does send SIGINT in cbreak() mode. An XCurses-specific hack would be cumbersome. * ~InterfaceCurses() should probably be rewritten. Curses cleanup should be completely in restore_batch() as the destructor may be called after Curses-cleanup handlers. E.g. isendwin() SEGFAULTs on XCurses when called from the destructor.
2015-06-22use WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN macro when including windows.hRobin Haberkorn2-12/+2
this avoids some problematic includes, so we no longer have to #undef interface. Also it should speed up building a bit.
2015-06-22pass curses CFLAGS into Scinterm build systemRobin Haberkorn2-13/+35
* requires a recent patch to Scinterm * can be overwritten in SciTECO's build system via NCURSES_CFLAGS or PDCURSES_CFLAGS. * NCURSES_LIBS has also been introduced. The check for ncurses will now use pkg-config if available. * eases multiple builds with different Curses variants (e.g. when cross-compiling for Windows) * pass more toolchain variables into Scintilla build process (CC and RANLIB). This should fix Cross-compiling Scintilla/Gtk * Pass GTK cflags into Scintilla/Gtk build system.
2015-06-22fixed flickering in InterfaceCurses::set_window_title()Robin Haberkorn1-0/+15
* this was an issue at least in PDCurses/win32
2015-06-22fixed CTRL+C handling on PDCurses/win32 portRobin Haberkorn1-4/+67
* it now works as in the ncurses port: ^C during macro execution interrupts just as SIGINT does; else it is read as a character. * On Windows we need to register a special "console ctrl handler" which is the analogue to a signal handler. * It must be tested how ncurses/win32 and PDCurses/win32a behaves in this regard. PDCurses/win32a is still actively maintained, so we can also patch its source base. * See #4
2015-06-22major Curses UI revision: initialize curses as late as possibleRobin Haberkorn7-237/+380
* relies on a patched version of Scinterm that allows you to construct Scintilla objects, send messages etc. before Curses is initialized. The Scintilla and Scinterm submodules have been updated. * This once and for all fixes batch mode and stdio redirections in batch mode on all Curses platforms and operating systems. * Fixes the ^C-does-not-interrupt bug on ncurses/UNIX. See #4. * On ncurses/UNIX we will still do a newterm()-initialization. This allows us to keep stdout/stderr alone in case they are redirected. This effectively allows redirecting SciTECO's output into a file even in interactive mode. ncurses/UNIX now behaves like, e.g. PDCurses/win32a and GTK+ in this regard. * Curses environment variable handling fixed. The environment registers are exported into the process environment so that Curses environment variables can be set/modified by the SciTECO profile. * Use term.h for accessing terminfo now. Explained set_window_title() limitations. * fixed interruption via SIGINT. If the UI is waiting for user input, SIGINT is effectively ignored instead of letting the next character fail always. * Updated sciteco(1) and sciteco(7): More options, environment variables and signals documented. Also rewritten DESCRIPTION section (different modes of operation).
2015-06-17improved build speed by refining the rules for building ScintillaRobin Haberkorn1-7/+16
* Scintilla was built as a .PHONY target, so we trigger its build process always when we depend on scintilla.a. The problem was that a real file (scintilla.a) was declared .PHONY which meant that it was always considered updated by Make. This triggered a relink of everything depending on scintilla.a. Always. When doing a bootstrap build, this would always result in rebuilding the symbols-*.cpp files, etc... * Now the Scintilla build process will always be triggered, but scintilla.a is handled like an ordinary target. When we depend on scintilla.a our recipe will only be executed if the recursive make for Scintilla actually did update scintilla.a
2015-06-14handle environment variables more consistentlyRobin Haberkorn9-48/+227
* the registers beginning with "$" are exported into sub-process environments. Therefore macros can now modify the environment (variables) of commands executed via EC/EG. A variable can be modified temporarily, e.g.: [[$FOO] ^U[$FOO]bar$ EC...$ ][$FOO] * SciTECO accesses the global environment registers instead of using g_getenv(). Therefore now, tilde-expansion will always use the current value of the "$HOME" register. Previously, both register and environment variable could diverge. * This effectively fully maps the process environment to a subset of Q-Registers beginning with "$". * This hasn't been implemented by mapping those registers to special implementations that updates the process environment directly, since g_setenv() is non-thread-safe on UNIX and we're expected to have threads soon - at least in the GTK+ UI.
2015-06-13updated INSTALL: document out-of-tree buildsRobin Haberkorn1-4/+51
* also added a warning about building on Windows
2015-06-13updated scintilla submoduleRobin Haberkorn2-2/+2
* it's now at Scintilla v3.5.6 and Scinterm v1.6 * the Curses tab-stop fix was removed from the sciteco-dev branch since Mitchell cared about getting it upstream. It is part of Scintilla v3.5.5 and Scinterm v1.6. Scinterm built fine with Scintilla v3.5.6, so we're using the newer release.
2015-06-12support UNIX-shell-like tilde-expansions in file names and directoriesRobin Haberkorn12-75/+203
* expands to the value of $HOME (the env variable instead of the register which currently makes a slight difference). * supported for tab-completions * supported for all file-name accepting commands. The expansion is done centrally in StateExpectFile::done(). A new virtual method StateExpectFile::got_file() has been introduced to pass the expanded/processed file name to command implementations. * sciteco(7) has been updated: There is now a separate section on file name arguments and file name handling in SciTECO. This information is important but has been scattered across the document previously. * optimized is_glob_pattern() in glob.h
2015-06-11fixed lexer configuration for the unnamed bufferRobin Haberkorn1-0/+1
* The unnamed buffer must be handled separately since the "lexer.test..." macros assume that register "*" is non-empty. Else it will be configured for some arbitrary lexer. * this was a regression compared to v0.6.4

2015-06-02throw error when trying to set or append the string part of "*" and ↵Robin Haberkorn3-3/+28
appending to "$" * these operations are unsupported and there is no benefit in ignoring them silently. It only confused the user.
2015-06-02added <FG> command and special Q-Register "$" to set and get the current ↵Robin Haberkorn11-30/+360
working directory * FG stands for "Folder Go" * FG behaves similar to a Unix shell `cd`. Without arguments, it changes to the $HOME directory. * The $HOME directory was previously only used by $SCITECOCONFIG on Unix. Now it is documented on its own, since the HOME directory should also be configurable on Windows - e.g. to adapt SciTECO to a MinGW or Cygwin installation. HOME is initialized just like the other environment variables. This also means that now, the $HOME Q-Register is always defined and can be used by platform-agnostic macros. * FG uses a new kind of tab-completion: for directories only. It would be annoying to complete the FG command after every directory, so this tab-completion does not close the command automatically. Theoretically, it would be possible to close the command after completing a directory with no subdirectories, but this is not supported currently. * Filename arguments are no longer completed with " " if {} escaping is in place as this brings no benefit. Instead no completion character is inserted for this escape mode. * "$" was mapped to the current directory to support an elegant way to insert/get the current directory. Also this allows the idiom "[$ FG...new_dir...$ ]$" for changing the current directory temporarily. * The Q-Register stack was extended to support restoring the string part of special Q-Registers (that overwrite the default functionality) when using the "[$" and "]$" commands. * fixed minor typos (american spelling)
2015-05-29Modified ^W in string (and file name) arguments: ensure that we always rub ↵Robin Haberkorn3-7/+25
out beyond empty arguments * it was annoying not to be able to rub out anything with ^W if the current string argument was empty. * Now, the special file name and string argument handling for ^W is effective only if the current argument is non-empty, else we fall back to the rub-out-command behaviour. * So now, if you press ^W in a string argument, it is rubbed out until empty and on the next ^W press, the entire command will be rubbed out.
2015-05-29support specialized ^W immediate editing command in file name argumentsRobin Haberkorn2-4/+43
* the rubout/reinsert-word behaviour of misc. string arguments is suboptimal for file name arguments as it depends on Scintilla's word characters. By default, the directory separators are not considered word characters, but this could be changed by the user. * The behaviour of ^W in file name arguments is now fixed and independant from the Scintilla configuration: It always rubs out or re-inserts one hierarchy level of the file name.

2015-05-25restrict globbing in the EB command to regular files.Robin Haberkorn1-2/+2
As SciTECO can only edit regular files (or symlinks to regular files), we can exclude directories from the list of files matched by <EB> glob patterns.
2015-05-25extended <EN> command and used it to optimize "lexer.test..." macrosRobin Haberkorn76-288/+582
* EN may now be used for matching file names (similar to fnmatch(3)). This is used to check the current buffers file extension in the lexer configuration macros instead of using expensive Q-Register manipulations. This halves the overall startup time - it is now acceptable even with the current amount of lexer configurations. * EN may now be used for checking file types. session.tes has been simplified. * BREAKS macro portability (EN now has 2 string arguments). * The Globber class has been extended to allow filtering of glob results by file type.
2015-03-24added new lexer configs auto-generated by scite2co.luaRobin Haberkorn63-5/+3190
* these are still not all languages supported by Scintilla. scite2co.lua does not do a good job of generating styles when SciTE's property files use hardcoded colors/fonts. This commit only includes reasonably good conversion results. The remaining languages need some additional manual labor. * Even these lexers are not perfect and should be revised by comparing them with SciTE's properties. * So many lexers make the "lexer.auto" macro too slow. We need some optimization. E.g. the search-command optimization described in TODO, or an extended EN command for globbing manually specified file names.
2015-03-24reformatted existing lexer definitionsRobin Haberkorn8-147/+113
* they are updated with the results of scite2co.lua This makes it easier in the future to update lexer settings based on the property files of new SciTE releases.

2015-03-18bumped release version to v0.6.4, updated ChangeLog and clarify libglib ↵Robin Haberkorn4-8/+18
minimum version * it was necessary to increase the upstream version so I could upload new versions to launchpad while debugging PPA build issues. * ChangeLog finalized for v0.6.4 * SciTECO requires at least libglib v2.28 (but that's only a guess)
2015-03-18fixed Debian package: launchpad build servers have broken $TERM configurationsRobin Haberkorn3-2/+12
* it also sets the compatibility level to 7 which was required when building for Ubuntu Lucid. This version cannot be supported however since its libglib version is too old.
2015-03-18./distribute: recreate temporary directory each time a source or binary ↵Robin Haberkorn1-1/+19
package is built * you no longer have to make an entire clean when e.g. uploading for another Ubuntu release. Therefore, the source tar ball is preserved (it must be the same for all packages with the same upstream version). * also try to extract the SciTECO version from the ./configure script instead of hardcoding it in ./distribute
2015-03-18fixed compiling on G++ v4.4: It needs a more verbose syntax when calling ↵Robin Haberkorn1-2/+1
template base class constructors * v4.4 is still officially supported by SciTECO (see INSTALL) * Ubuntu Lucid appears to use v4.4 by default and lucid is till supported by PPA. So this should fix building SciTECO in its PPA for Ubuntu Lucid.
2015-03-18ncurses: fixed batch mode initialization for unset or broken $TERMRobin Haberkorn1-10/+56
* If TERM is set but wrong, it might still fail. Errors are reported now. * If $TERM is unset or empty, we refuse to start the interactive mode. Unfortunately, we cannot easily let curses decide this since newterm() does not work as expected. * However this solution should be quite good: Either $TERM is empty - then batch mode will work but not interactive mode. Or it is not empty, then it is checked by the first call to newterm() when initializing batch mode. The chance of starting up interactive mode with a wrong $TERM or in head-less environments is now quite low. * This is most likely responsible for the PPA build issues.
2015-03-17fixed invalid memory accesses in the expression stack and reworked ↵Robin Haberkorn5-83/+98
expression stack this was probably a regression from d94b18819ad4ee3237c46ad43a962d0121f0c3fe and should not be in v0.5. The return value of Expressions::find_op() must always be checked since it might not find the operator, returning 0 (it used to be 0). A zero index pointed to uninitialized memory - in the worst case it pointed to invalid memory resulting in segfaults. Too large indices were also not handled. This was probably responsible for recent PPA build issues. Valgrind/memcheck reports this error but I misread it as a bogus warning. I took the opportunity to clean up the ValueStack implementation and made it more robust by adding a few assertions. ValueStacks now grow from large to small addresses (like stack data structures usually do). This means, there is no need to work with negative indices into the stack pointer. To reduce the potential for invalid stack accesses, stack indices are now unsigned and have origin 0. Previously, all indices < 1 were faulty but weren't checked. Also, I added some minor optimizations.

2015-03-17added PDCURSES_LIBS ./configure variable to overwrite the check for PDCursesRobin Haberkorn2-11/+17
* allows us to link against PDCurses/win32a statically. It requires additional Windows DLLs (gdi32 and comdlg32) and since there's no PDCurses configuration mechanism, it is easiest to set the PDCurses linker flags using a PDCURSES_LIBS env variable. * This is only possible since Scintilla links statically, we do the linking of the binary and can provide the linker flags. It is still not possible to overwrite the CFLAGS used for PDCurses without modifying the Scinterm Makefile. * Using PDCURSES_LIBS we can get rid of --with-interface=emcurses since if library checks fail with EMscripten, we can simply define PDCURSES_LIBS="-lpdcurses"
2015-03-17support for ncurses/win32Robin Haberkorn2-4/+18
Unfortunately, I cannot really test this curses port since it is not supported by Windows 2000 (missing AttachConsole() API) and it does not run very well in Wine. Under Wine, it does not require the LINES and COLS variable to be set. However, endwin() and the refresh later on result in a very unusable state of operation. I cannot currently check whether this is true on Windows XP or later.
2015-03-17always enable ^G modifier after tab completion in ^G mode.Robin Haberkorn1-0/+3
If there was a rubbed out command line and you tab completed a file name in a string argument (TAB in ^G mode), the immediate editing modifier was automatically reset. This still happens if nothing could be tab completed and you type a few characters and try to complete again (since ^G mode will be reset). If this feature is used often, the user should perhaps define a function key as ^G^I^G.

2015-03-16fixed tar ball creation for out-of-tree configurationsRobin Haberkorn1-1/+1
* Automake was trying to overwrite the submodule Scintilla (that should be distributed) with the local copy of Scintilla (perhaps because the directory had the same name). Instead, we now copy the submodule Scintilla manually into the distribution directory.
2015-03-16implemented function key masking (context-sensitive function key macros)Robin Haberkorn4-6/+78
* fnkeys.tes has been updated to enable the command line editing macros (cursor keys, etc.) only in the "start" state. This avoids the annoying effect of inserting the macros into string arguments where they have no effect and must be rubbed out again.
