The Prompt is set up to push the current line to history when hitting
Enter but the Picker doesn't pass the Enter event down to the Prompt
(for good reason: we don't want the Prompt's behavior of changing
completions when we hit a path separator). We should save the Prompt's
line to its configured history register when hitting Enter when there
is a selection in the Picker.
This currently only applies to `global_search`'s Picker since it's the
only Picker to use `Picker::with_history_register`.
We can track the ranges in the input text that correspond to each column
and use this information during rendering to apply a new theme key that
makes the "active column" stand out. This makes it easier to tell at
a glance which column you're entering.
`menu::Item` is replaced with column configurations for each picker
which control how a column is displayed and whether it is passed to
nucleo for filtering. (This is used for dynamic pickers so that we can
filter those items with the dynamic picker callback rather than nucleo.)
The picker has a new lucene-like syntax that can be used to filter the
picker only on certain criteria. If a filter is not specified, the text
in the prompt applies to the picker's configured "primary" column.
Adding column configurations for each picker is left for the child
commit.
This reverts commit 0dc67ff885.
See the post-merge discussion in #9828. The old behavior was less
surprising and we have other ways to abort from a prompt, so let's
revert the behavior change.
`syn_loader` was replaced rather than interior value being replace,
old value was still being referenced and not updated after `:config-refresh`.
By using `ArcSwap` like for `config`, each `.load()` call will return the most
updated value.

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`.
This is an unfortunately noisy change: we need to update virtually all
callsites that access the registers. For reads this means passing in the
Editor and for writes this means handling potential failure when we
can't write to a clipboard register.
This removes a handful of allocations for functions calling into the
function, which is nice because the prompt may call this function on
every keypress.
We can use tree-sitter-regex highlighting in prompts for entering
regexes, like `search` or `global_search`. The `highlighted_code_block`
function from the markdown component makes this a very small change.
This could be improved in the future by leaving the parsed syntax tree
on the prompt, allowing incremental updates. Prompt lines are usually so
short though and tree-sitter-regex is rather small and uncomplicated,
so that improvement probably wouldn't make a big difference.
* Fix#6669: Theme preview doesn't return theme to normal when delete name with Alt-Backspace
* Fix#6669: Return theme preview to normal theme for all remaining keybinds that change the promt text
When the Kitty Keyboard Protocol is enabled, S-backspace is
distinguished from backspace with no modifiers. This is awkward when
typing because it's very easy to accidentally hold shift and press
backspace temporarily when typing capital letters.
Kakoune (which is also a Kitty Keyboard Protocol application) treats
S-backspace as backspace too:

This changes the completion items to be rendered with shellword
escaping, so a file `a b.txt` is rendered as `a\ b.txt` which matches
how it should be inputted.
* fix: Recalculate completion when going through prompt history
* Update completion when the prompt line is changed
It should not be possible to update the line without also updating the
completion since the completion holds an index into the line.
* Fix Prompt::with_line recalculate completion
with_line was the last function where recalculate completion had to be
done manually. This function now also recalculates the completion so
that it's impossible to forget.
* Exit selection when recalculating completion
Keeping the selection index when the completion has been recalculated
doesn't make sense. This clears the selection automatically, removing
most needs to manually clear it.
* Remove &mut on save_filter

Ported over from 61365dfbf3 in the `gui` branch. This will allow
adding our own events, most notably an idle timer event (useful
for adding debounced input in [dynamic pickers][1] used by interactive
global search and workspace symbols).

Ctrl-based shortcuts are common in numerous applications.
This change:
- Adds Ctrl+{Left/Right/Backspace/Delete} for word-wise movement/deletion in prompt, picker, …
- Removes Alt-Left and Alt-Right in prompt, picker, …
- Adds Alt-Delete in insert mode for forward word deletion
In some terminals, Alt-Backspace might not work because it is ambigous.
See: https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/pull/2193#issuecomment-1105042501
Hence, Alt alternative is not removed.

Allow tab-completion to continue when there is only a single, unambigous
completion target which is a directory. This allows e.g. nested directories
to be quickly drilled down just by hitting <tab> instead of first selecting
the completion then hitting <enter>.
When fiddling with paths in a :o prompt, one usually would want Ctrl-W to erase a path segment
rather than the whole path. This is how Ctrl-W works in e.g. (neo)vim out of the box.
* Add Event::Used to use event callback without consuming
* Close popup if contents ignored event
* collect event results before executing callbacks
* don't add new result variant, use Ignored(..) instead
* break in match cases
* Make auto_close configurable
* fix merge
* auto close hover popups
* fix formatting
In order to implement this completer, the completion function needs to
be able to access the compositor's context (to allow it to get the
list of buffers currently open in the context's editor).
