Michael Davis	4555a6b433	Reimplement clipboard commands in terms of special regs ... Since the clipboard provider now lives on the Registers type, we want to eliminate it from the Editor. We can do that and clean up the commands that interact with the clipboard by calling regular yank, paste and replace impls on the clipboard special registers. Eventually the clipboard commands could be removed once macro keybinding is supported.	1 year ago
Michael Davis	2d838d729c	Preview the latest value for regular registers ... This fixes a discrepancy between regular registers which are used for yanking multiple values (for example via `"ay`) and regular registers that store a history of values (for example `"a*`). Previously, the preview shown in `select_register`'s infobox would show the oldest value in history. It's intuitive and useful to see the most recent value pushed to the history though. We cannot simply switch the preview line from `values.first()` to `values.last()`: that would fix the preview for registers used for history but break the preview for registers used to yank multiple values. We could push to the beginning of the values with `Registers::push` but this is wasteful from a performance perspective. Instead we can have `Registers::read` return an iterator that returns elements in the reverse order and reverse the values in `Register::write`. This effectively means that `push` adds elements to the beginning of the register's values. For the sake of the preview, we can switch to `values.last()` and that is then correct for both usage- styles. This also needs a change to call-sites that read the latest history value to switch from `last` to `first`.	1 year ago
Michael Davis	0f19f282cf	Add system & primary clipboards as special registers ... These special registers join and copy the values to the clipboards with '*' corresponding to the system clipboard and '+' to the primary as they are in Vim. This also uses the trick from PR6889 to save the values in the register and re-use them without joining into one value when pasting a value which was yanked and not changed. These registers are not implemented in Kakoune but Kakoune also does not have a built-in clipboard integration.

Michael Davis	32d071a392	Add the '%' (current filename) register ... This register also comes from Kakoune. It's read-only and produces the current document's name, defaulting to the scratch buffer name constant. (Also see PR5577.) Co-authored-by: Ivan Tham <pickfire@riseup.net>	1 year ago
Michael Davis	da2afe7353	Add '#' and '.' special registers ... These come from Kakoune: * '#' is the selection index register. It's read-only and produces the selection index numbers, 1-indexed. * '.' is the selection contents register. It is also read-only and mirrors the contents of the current selections when read. We switch the iterators returned from Selection's `fragments` and `slices` methods to ExactSizeIterators because: * The selection contents register can simply return the fragments iterator. * ExactSizeIterator is already implemented for iterators over Vecs, so it's essentially free. * The `len` method can be useful on its own.	1 year ago
Michael Davis	5eb1a25d8a	Refactor Registers to take Editor ... This sets up a new Registers type that will allow us to expand support for special registers. (See the child commits.) We start simple with the regular (`Vec<String>`) registers and the simplest special register, the black hole. In the child commits we will expand these match arms with more special registers. The upcoming special registers will need a few things that aren't possible with the current Registers type in helix-core: * Access to the `Editor`. This is only necessary when reading from registers, so the `&Editor` parameter is only added to `Registers::read`. * Returning owned values. Registers in helix-core returns references to the values backed by the `Vec<String>` but future special registers will need to return owned values. We refactor the return value of the read operations to give `Cow<str>`s and iterators over those. * Returning a `Result` for write/push functions. This will be used by the clipboard special registers.	1 year ago
