This is a temporary limitation because of the way that command sequences
are executed. Each command is currently executed back-to-back
synchronously, but macros are by design queued up for the compositor.
So macros mixed into a command sequence will behave undesirably: they
will be executed after the rest of the static and/or typable commands
in the sequence.
This is pending a larger refactor of how we handle commands.
<https://redirect.github.com/helix-editor/helix/issues/5555> has
further details and <https://redirect.github.com/helix-editor/helix/issues/4508>
discusses a similar problem faced by the command palette.
* Make sure pending key list is empty when count handling
This will allow using numbers as second key event.
* count handling; add an exception for 'g'
* Lookup the key event before considering a number as count
* Avoid the allocation of another vec for the pending keys

Does not change any behavior other than making the tuple slightly
more idiomatic. Keymap infobox shows key events, then the respective
description. This commit makes sure that order is used from the get go,
rather than flipping it midway.
The new version of the `toml` crate is based on `toml_edit` and does
not support zero copy deserialization anymore. So we need to deserialize
`String` instead of `&str` in the keympa
* Improve keymap errors from command typos
Currently, opening helix with a config containing a bad command mapping
fails with a cryptic error. For example, say we have a config (bad.toml)
with a command name that doesn't exist:
[keys.normal]
b = "buffer_close" # should be ":buffer-close"
When we `hx -c bad.toml`, we get...
> Bad config: data did not match any variant of untagged enum KeyTrie for key `keys.normal` at line 1 column 1
> Press <ENTER> to continue with default config
This is because of the way that Serde tries to deserialize untagged
enums such as `helix_term::keymap::KeyTrie`. From the Serde docs[^1]:
> Serde will try to match the data against each variant in order and the
> first one that deserializes successfully is the one returned.
`MappableCommand::deserialize` fails (returns an Err variant) when a
command does not exist. Serde interprets this as the `KeyTrie::Leaf`
variant failing to match and declares that the input data doesn't
"match any variant of untagged enum KeyTrie."
Luckily the variants of KeyTrie are orthogonal in structure: we can tell
them apart by the type hints from a `serde:🇩🇪:Visitor`. This change
uses a custom Deserialize implementation along with a Visitor that
discerns which variant of the KeyTrie applies. With this change, the
above failure becomes:
> Bad config: No command named 'buffer_close' for key `keys.normal.b` at line 2 column 5
> Press <ENTER> to continue with default config
We also provide more explicit information about the expectations on
the field. A config with an unexpected type produces a message with
that information and the expectation:
[keys.normal]
b = 1
> Bad config: invalid type: integer `1`, expected a command, list of commands, or sub-keymap for key `keys.normal.b` at line 2 column 5
> Press <ENTER> to continue with default config

* Refactor menu::Item to accomodate external state
Will be useful for storing editor state when reused by pickers.
* Add some type aliases for readability
* Reuse menu::Item trait in picker
This opens the way for merging the menu and picker code in the
future, since a picker is essentially a menu + prompt. More
excitingly, this change will also allow aligning items in the
picker, which would be useful (for example) in the command palette
for aligning the descriptions to the left and the keybinds to
the right in two separate columns.
The item formatting of each picker has been kept as is, even though
there is room for improvement now that we can format the data into
columns, since that is better tackled in a separate PR.
* Rename menu::Item::EditorData to Data
* Call and inline filter_text() in sort_text() completion
* Rename diagnostic picker's Item::Data
* Add arrow key mappings for tree-sitter parent/child/sibling nav
This helps my use case, where I use a non-qwerty layout with a
programmable mechanical keyboard, and use a layer switching key (think
fn) to send left down up right from the traditional hjkl positions.
* Add new bindings to docs
* feat(commands): command palette
Add new command to display command pallete that can be used
to discover and execute available commands.
Fixes: https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/issues/559
* Make picker take the whole context, not just editor
* Bind command pallete
* Typable commands also in the palette
* Show key bindings for commands
* Fix tests, small refactor
* Refactor keymap mapping, fix typo
* Ignore sequence key bindings for now
* Apply suggestions
* Fix lint issues in tests
* Fix after rebase

* add select_next_sibling and select_prev_sibling commands
* refactor objects to use higher order functions
* address clippy feedback
* move selection cloning into commands
* add default keybindings under left/right brackets
* use [+t,]+t for selecting sibling syntax nodes
* setup Alt-{j,k,h,l} default keymaps for syntax selection commands
* reduce boilerplate of select_next/prev_sibling in commands
* import tree-sitter Node type in commands
* feat(commands): shrink_selection
Add `shrink_selection` command that can be used to shrink
previously expanded selection.
To make `shrink_selection` work it was necessary to add
selection history to the Document since we want to shrink
the selection towards the syntax tree node that was initially
selected.
Selection history is cleared any time the user changes
selection other way than by `expand_selection`. This ensures
that we don't get some funky edge cases when user calls
`shrink_selection`.

3 characters left, and the register being recorded to will be displayed
between brackets — e.g., `[@]` — right of the pending keys display.
