2015-03-07improved --help output and introduced PACKAGE_URL_DEV (for development home)Robin Haberkorn4-3/+24
* The PACKAGE_URL_DEV is also mentioned in --help output and sciteco(1)
2015-03-07fixed m,nXq for m > n: this properly throws an error nowRobin Haberkorn1-3/+3
2015-03-07changed save point file format to .teco-<n>-<filename>~Robin Haberkorn3-5/+7
* It is no longer possible to accidentally open save point files of the same or another SciTECO instance when typing something like EB*.cpp$ * The use of a trailing ~ is common among editors. These files will be recognized more easily as temporary by users. * People will often already have VCS ignore rules for files with trailing tilde. Therefore SciTECO savepoints will often be already ignored by VCS. * Since they still have a unique ".teco" prefix, they will not be confused by other programs as backup files. * Also mention in sciteco(1) that save point files are hidden on Windows.
2015-03-07fixed TAB completion of files in the current directory beginning with "."Robin Haberkorn1-9/+14
We used g_path_get_dirname() which does not always return strict prefixes of the input file name. For file names without directory, it returns "." (the current directory). This is useful for passing that directory to functions expecting a proper directory (like g_dir_open()) but was unsuitable for building file name candidates for autocompletion. Therefore, we tried to determine if the dirname is a prefix of the filename. This however failed for "hidden" file names beginning with dot. All in all it is easier to calculate our own directory name based on the previously calculated basename than to handle the current-directory case with g_path_get_dirname(). Now we'll get "" for the current directory, so we have to handle the empty-string-is-current-dir case.
2015-03-07sciteco(7): Use em-dash (\[em]) characters instead of "-" in sentencesRobin Haberkorn1-6/+6
this looks better in Unicode terminals
2015-03-07Curses UI: fixed translation of the backspace keyRobin Haberkorn4-5/+18
* for historic reasons, the backspace key can be transmitted as ^H by the terminal. Some terminal emulators might do that - these are fixed by this commit. * Use CTL_KEY('H') instead of standard C '\b' as the former is less ambiguous given the confusion around the backspace character.
2015-03-07cleaned up usage of the escape control character: introduced CTL_KEY_ESC and ↵Robin Haberkorn6-14/+27
CTL_KEY_ESC_STR * the reason for the CTL_KEY() macro is to get the control character resulting from a CTRL+Key press -- at least this is how SciTECO presents these key presses. It is also a macro and may be resolved to a constant expression, so it can be used in switch-case statements. Sometimes it is clearer to use standard C escape sequences (like '\t'). * CTL_KEY('[') for escape is hard to read, so I always used '\x1B' which is even more cryptic.
2015-03-07fixed 0EB command to display all buffers in the ringRobin Haberkorn2-23/+24
* the popup resetting was done after character insertion, so typing 0EB would clear the popup immediately * the new implementation is functionally equivalent to the old pre-reinsertion-commandline-handling, by resetting the popup based on the immediate editing command before insertion
2015-03-03define -DCURSES instead of -DNCURSESRobin Haberkorn1-1/+1
* has been changed in Scinterm some time ago * I don't know if defining this makes actually any difference, but Jinx does it.
2015-03-03fixed double-free in Curses viewsRobin Haberkorn1-3/+6
* the Curses window associated with a Scinterm Scintilla view is INDEED deleted automatically by scintilla_delete() * The Scinterm documentation is WRONG on this. * This has been broken in the SciTECO code for a long time. Perhaps, for some obscure reason, this does not cause any problems on NCurses. It results in instant segfaults on MinGW/PDCurses though.
2015-03-02used file lists instead of wildcards in lib/Makefile.amRobin Haberkorn1-4/+13
* this is recommended by Automake since wildcards are not portable. However we rely on GNU Make extensions in other places. * This fixes out-of-source builds. * The lists can be updated relatively easily with SciTECO (EN command...)
2015-03-02added function key macro for Shift+DEL: Acts as a "reverse" ruboutRobin Haberkorn1-0/+4
It reinserts when the immediate editing modifier is disabled and rubs out when it is enabled - without modifying the state of the ^G modifier.
2015-03-02define scintilla.a as a phony targetRobin Haberkorn1-1/+6
when hacking Scintilla, it is useful to recompile it as necessary. Since SciTECO calls the Scintilla/Scinterm Makefile recursively, we do not know the libraries dependencies in SciTECO's build system. It therefore makes sense to define externally built targets as phony, so the recursive make is called every time scintilla.a is required. If scintilla.a is already up to date, the additional recursive make call won't hurt.
2015-03-02use g_assert_not_reached() instead of g_assert(false): works around Clang++ ↵Robin Haberkorn2-2/+2
warnings * Clang++ does not see that the PC will never go beyong g_assert(false), and so reports about possible unitialized variables
2015-03-02fixed re-insertion of incomplete commandsRobin Haberkorn1-1/+3
we are not guaranteed to reach the start parser state again if the command is not terminated on the rubbed out command line
2015-03-02fixed minor typos in <EC> documentationRobin Haberkorn1-2/+2
2015-03-02avoid warning about uninitialized variableRobin Haberkorn1-1/+1
2015-03-02updated TODORobin Haberkorn1-9/+11
2015-03-02removed last remaining "throw" specificationsRobin Haberkorn1-9/+6
* They are harmful. I removed most of them a long time ago but kept some for their documenting character. However, they will always result in additional checks (runtime penalty) when the corresponding functions get called and cannot ensure that only the declared exceptions are thrown at compile time.
2015-03-02minor optimization: no need to check for NULL when using C++ delete operatorRobin Haberkorn4-10/+5
2015-03-02fixed function key handling on GTK UIRobin Haberkorn2-1/+9
* we cannot prevent GTK from delivering the function key presses, as we can on Curses. Therefore Cmdline::fnmacro() checks again if function keys are enabled.
2015-03-02try hard to free heap memory after command-line termination using malloc_trim()Robin Haberkorn2-2/+18
* this is a Linux/glibc-only optimization
2015-03-02updated documentation: cover undo/redo, the new ^G editing command and ↵Robin Haberkorn2-13/+123
removal of ^T
2015-03-02introduced the ^G immediate editing command for toggling the undo/redo mode ↵Robin Haberkorn2-88/+163
(also replaces ^T) * CTRL+G toggles the behaviour of the rubout (Backspace, ^W, ^U) commands: When the so called immediate editing command modifier is enabled/active, the rubout commands will do the opposite and insert from the rubbed out command line. This command is somewhat similar to Emacs' C-g command. * The CTRL+G command also replaces the ^T immediate editing command for auto-completing filenames in any string argument. Now the TAB key can be used for that purpose after activating the ^G modifier. ^T is a classic TECO command that will be supported sooner or later by SciTECO, so it's good to have it available directly.
2015-03-01keep rubbed out command line for later re-insertion and massive Cmdline ↵Robin Haberkorn15-295/+493
cleanup/refactoring * characters rubbed out are not totally removed from the command line, but only from the *effective* command line. * The rubbed out command line is displayed after the command line cursor. On Curses it is grey and underlined. * When characters are inserted that are on the rubbed out part of the command line, the cursor simply moves forward. NOTE: There's currently no immediate editing command for reinserting the next character/word from the rubbed out command line. * Characters resulting in errors are no longer simply discarded but rubbed out, so they will stay in the rubbed out part of the command line, reminding you which character caused the error. * Improved Cmdline formatting on Curses UI: * Asterisk is printed bold * Control characters are printed in REVERSE style, similar to what Scinterm does. The controll character formatting has thus been moved from macro_echo() in cmdline.cpp to the UI implementations. * Updated the GTK+ UI (UNTESTED): I did only, the most important API adaptions. The command line still does not use any colors. * Refactored entire command line handling: * The command line is now a class (Cmdline), and most functions in cmdline.cpp have been converted to methods. * Esp. process_edit_cmd() (now Cmdline::process_edit_cmd()) has been simplified. There is no longer the possibility of a buffer overflow because of static insertion buffer sizes * Cleaned up usage of the cmdline_pos variable (now Cmdline::pc) which is really a program counter that used a different origin as macro_pc which was really confusing. * The new Cmdline class is theoretically 8-bit clean. However all of this will change again when we introduce Scintilla views for the command line. * Added 8-bit clean (null-byte aware) versions of QRegisterData::set_string() and QRegisterData::append_string()
2015-03-01moved String helper functions from sciteco.h and main.cpp to ↵Robin Haberkorn11-72/+154
string-utils.cpp and string-utils.h * also improved performance of String::append() by using g_realloc() * added String::append() variant for non-null-terminated strings
2015-02-23implemented to undo stack memory limitingRobin Haberkorn12-34/+241
* acts as a safe-guard against uninterrupted infinite loops or other operations that are costly to undo in interactive mode. If we're out of memory, it is usually too late to react properly. This implementation tries to avoid OOMs due to SciTECO behaviour. We cannot fully exclude the chance of an OOM error. * The undo stack size is only approximated using the UndoToken::get_size() method. Other ways to measure the exact amount of allocated heap (including size fields in every heap object or using sbrk(0) and similar) are either costly in terms of memory or platform-specific. This implementation does not need any additional memory per heap object or undo token but exploits the fact that undo tokens are virtual already. The size of an undo token is determined at compile time. * Default memory limit of 500mb should be OK for most people. * The current limit can be queried with "2EJ" and set with <x>,2EJ. This also works interactively (a bit tricky!) * Limiting can be disabled. In this case, undo token processing is a bit faster. * closes #3
2015-02-21throw error instead of assertion when loop is closed (>) or continued (F>) ↵Robin Haberkorn1-2/+9
without a corresponding loop start (<) * assertions were introduced very early when there was no proper error handling in SciTECO. However it points to a macro programming error instead of a SciTECO programming error and should not crash the editor. * Perhaps it would be best to check for this kind of "syntax" error also in parse-only modes. This is not done currently. * part of the solution to issue #3
2015-02-21fixed assertion in search.cppRobin Haberkorn1-1/+1
2015-02-19fixup: work around Scintilla drawing bug also when undoing Q-Reg editRobin Haberkorn1-0/+8
2015-02-19work around Scintilla character representation drawing bugRobin Haberkorn1-0/+16
* since SCI_SETDOCPOINTER resets character representations (should probably be submitted as a bug to Scintilla) we have to reset the representations each time we load a q-register into the q-reg view. * since the SCI_SETREPRESENTION call does not do any redrawing (and it would be very slow if it did), the lines with control characters were laid out wrong (too much spaces). This happened when editing a q-reg or the command-line. * Since it is not obvious how to fix Scintilla's behaviour here, we work around the issue by temporarily disabling the layout cache.
2015-02-18added session.hg and session.vcs macrosRobin Haberkorn3-4/+23
* session.hg sets up the buffer session in the current Mercurial repository * session.vcs is a convenience macro that may be used in profiles to enable buffer sessions per repo for all supported VCS (Git, Hg and SVN)
2015-02-18Merge branch 'master' of github.com:rhaberkorn/scitecoRobin Haberkorn2-3/+19
2015-02-17added session.svn macro to set up a session profile in the current ↵Robin Haberkorn2-3/+19
Subversion working copy * it uses "svn info --xml" since otherwise the output of "svn info" might be localized.
2015-02-14updated Scintilla submodule: fixed tab stop calculation on CursesRobin Haberkorn10-11/+10
* also did some whitespace cleanup in SciTECO now that tabs are displayed properly
2015-02-12updated Scintilla to v3.5.2 and Scinterm to v1.5Robin Haberkorn2-4/+10
the most noticable change is that a scroll-bar is displayed by default (Curses UI) * INSTALL instructions updated
2015-02-11updated copyright to 2015Robin Haberkorn41-42/+42
2015-02-11updated TODORobin Haberkorn1-0/+7
2015-02-11implemented support for different indention stylesRobin Haberkorn4-23/+103
* the ^I command was altered to insert indention characters rather than plain tabs always. * The <TAB> immediate editing command was added for all insertion arguments (I, ^I but also FR and FS) * documentation was extended for a discussion of indention
2014-12-15fixup: the spawn context's GError must not be memory-managed by the state objectRobin Haberkorn1-4/+0
this is because ownership of the GError may be passed to GlibError()
2014-12-15always free glib's GError structuresRobin Haberkorn3-2/+17
* when throwing GlibError(), this is taken care of automatically. * fixes a memleak since there may be resources associated with the GError.
2014-12-15add workaround for missing g_spawn_check_exit_status() in libglib v2.33 and ↵Robin Haberkorn1-0/+41
earlier * Debian 7 is still at libglib v2.33 and since it should be supported, I reimplemented the missing function (UNIX-only). * This workaround can be removed once libglib v2.34 becomes common place. Closes #2
2014-12-15updated TODORobin Haberkorn1-3/+11
2014-12-15fixed remaining reference to register "0" in the documentationRobin Haberkorn1-1/+1
2014-12-15fixed globbing of non-existing directoriesRobin Haberkorn1-0/+4
* for non-existing directories, NULL was passed to g_dir_read_name(). This resulted in Glib errors being printed to stdout/stderr. * this was broken in commit 427c9d
2014-12-09updated README: elaborate on supported platforms, libraries and featuresRobin Haberkorn1-8/+37
2014-12-09support filename auto completions with forward-slash directory separators on ↵Robin Haberkorn2-4/+64
Windows * this is actually UNTESTED on Windows
2014-12-09Curses: support cycling through long lists of possible auto-completions and ↵Robin Haberkorn7-70/+162
optimized screen refreshing/redrawing * pressing e.g. TAB when the popup is showing a list of auto-completions will show the next page, eventually beginning at the first one again. * do not redraw curses windows in the UI methods directly. this resulted in flickering during command-line editing macros and ordinary macro calls because the physical screen was updated immediately. Instead, window refreshing and updated is done centrally in event_loop_iter() only after a key has been processed. Also we use wnoutrefresh() and doupdate() to send as little to the terminal (emulator) as possible.
2014-12-08Curses: fixed formatting of popup windowsRobin Haberkorn1-24/+20
* simplified code * fixed spurious empty lines in the popup which truncated file names/tokens that would otherwise be displayed * fixed memleak when freeing the popup entry list
2014-12-08do not show possible completions for hidden files and directoriesRobin Haberkorn4-12/+64
* added platform-dependant file_is_visible() function
