2015-03-16implemented function key masking (context-sensitive function key macros)Robin Haberkorn1-0/+33
* 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.
2015-03-16removed claim of no bugs in sciteco(1) ;-)Robin Haberkorn1-6/+0
2015-03-16documented the automatic EOL translation featureRobin Haberkorn1-4/+55
2015-03-10added --no-profile command line optionRobin Haberkorn1-0/+12
2015-03-10added the <"I> conditional for checking a directory separatorRobin Haberkorn1-1/+12
* It is still useful to have this in macros since you may want to work with non-normalized file names. For instance, env variables (including $SCITECOPATH and $SCITECOCONFIG) may (and will probably) include backward-slash separators on Windows
2015-03-10always normalize directory separators to "/" in the "*" Q-RegisterRobin Haberkorn1-1/+9
* on Windows, this register contained backward slashes. This means that macros working with that register had to cope with both forward and backward slashes. * The file names are still displayed in the native style by the UI * This approach also has disadvantages: What if the user wants to insert the current file name somewhere where "\" is expected? However, this seems to be an unlikely case and the use can still replace the "/" with "\" again. * Avoid some virtual method calls in QRegisterBufferInfo
2015-03-07canonicalize $SCITECOCONFIG and $SCITECOPATH variablesRobin Haberkorn1-0/+7
* this makes them absolute and also resolves links on Unix * macros can now assume the corresponding Q-regs to be absolute * Currently this does not make a big difference since the working directory of the SciTECO process cannot be changed. Once I implement a command to change the working dir, this is essential.
2015-03-07improved --help output and introduced PACKAGE_URL_DEV (for development home)Robin Haberkorn1-1/+6
* The PACKAGE_URL_DEV is also mentioned in --help output and sciteco(1)
2015-03-07changed save point file format to .teco-<n>-<filename>~Robin Haberkorn1-2/+4
* It is no longer possible to accidentally open save point files of the same or another SciTECO instance when typing something like EB*.cpp$ * 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.
2015-03-07sciteco(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 Haberkorn1-1/+5
* 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.
2015-03-02updated documentation: cover undo/redo, the new ^G editing command and ↵Robin Haberkorn1-13/+118
removal of ^T
2015-02-18added session.hg and session.vcs macrosRobin Haberkorn1-2/+3
* 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)
2015-02-11implemented support for different indention stylesRobin Haberkorn1-1/+11
* 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
2014-12-09support filename auto completions with forward-slash directory separators on ↵Robin Haberkorn1-0/+12
Windows * this is actually UNTESTED on Windows
2014-12-09Curses: support cycling through long lists of possible auto-completions and ↵Robin Haberkorn1-1/+9
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.
2014-12-08do not show possible completions for hidden files and directoriesRobin Haberkorn1-1/+12
* added platform-dependant file_is_visible() function
2014-11-24implemented pQq and :Qq commandsRobin Haberkorn1-1/+1
2014-11-24introduced $SCITECOCONFIG env variable, and set different default for ↵Robin Haberkorn1-14/+34
$SCITECOPATH on Windows * $SCITECOCONFIG has been introduced, so have a macro-accessible location for the profile, buffer session etc. This is set to the program dir on Windows. That way, the config files will be found, regardless of the current working dir, but it may also be set up for Unix-like environments on Windows. * $SCITECOPATH defaults to the program dir + "/lib" now on Windows. * The default profile is now always called ".teco_ini". Also on Windows. Platform differences like this would need to be documented. * The sample teco.ini has been renamed to "sample.teco_ini" for clarity
2014-11-24mention .teco_session files in sciteco(1)Robin Haberkorn1-1/+8
2014-11-24factored out file loading and saving into the View specialisation IOViewRobin Haberkorn1-2/+8
this will allow us to use the same algorithms for loading and saving Q-Registers (from/to file). * Saving with EW when a Q-Reg is edited has been fixed (was broken earlier) * SciTECO save point files are now named .teco-X-BASENAME When using IOView for Q-Regs, there will be no way to sensible count the save points. Each write of a Q-Reg may be to another file. Therefore, we number save-points globally. If the sequence of writes has to be reconstructed manually, one can still look at the save point files' modification dates * give more informative error messages when saving a file fails
2014-11-23updated Doxygen configuration: doxygen -u Doxyfile.inRobin Haberkorn1-74/+153
2014-11-22allow setting the "*" register as an alternative to nEBRobin Haberkorn1-1/+18
this is more consistent with SciTECO's idea of abstract registers and allows the currend buffer to be saved on the Q-Register stack. This allows the idiom: [* ! ...change current buffer... ! ]*

2014-11-14added ^# (XOR) operatorRobin Haberkorn1-3/+6
also changed precedence of + operator (higher than minus). the effects of this should be minimal
2014-11-10support new "~" conditional: useful for implying default parameters in macrosRobin Haberkorn1-8/+27
2014-11-09documented EC and EG commandsRobin Haberkorn1-0/+3
2014-11-02changed syntax for long Q-Register names: use [] brackets instead of {}Robin Haberkorn3-53/+53
this breaks many existing scripts, and means you may have to rebuild SciTECO with ./configure --enable-bootstrap The syntax of SciTECO might change in backwards-incompatible until version 1.0 is released.
