Currently, when forward deleting (`delete_char_forward` bound to `del`,
`delete_word_forward`, `kill_to_line_end`) the cursor is moved to the
left in append mode (or generally when the cursor is at the end of the
selection). For example in a document `|abc|def` (|indicates selection)
if enter append mode the cursor is moved to `c` and the selection
becomes: `|abcd|ef`. When deleting forward (`del`) `d` is deleted. The
expectation would be that the selection doesn't shrink so that `del`
again deletes `e` and then `f`. This would look as follows:
`|abcd|ef`
`|abce|f`
`|abcf|`
`|abc |`
This is inline with how other editors like kakoune work.
However, helix currently moves the selection backwards leading to the
following behavior:
`|abcd|ef`
`|abc|ef`
`|ab|ef`
`ef`
This means that `delete_char_forward` essentially acts like
`delete_char_backward` after deleting the first character in append
mode.
To fix the problem the cursor must be moved to the right while deleting
forward (first fix in this commit). Furthermore, when the EOF char is
reached a newline char must be inserted (just like when entering
appendmode) to prevent the cursor from moving to the right
Some deletion operations (especially those that use indentation)
can generate overlapping deletion ranges when using multiple cursors.
To fix that problem a new `Transaction::delete` and
`Transaction:delete_by_selection` function were added. These functions
merge overlapping deletion ranges instead of generating an invalid
transaction. This merging of changes is only possible for deletions
and not for other changes and therefore require its own function.
The function has been used in all commands that currently delete
text by using `Transaction::change_by_selection`.
When re requesting a completion that already has a selected item we
reuse that selections savepoint. However, the selection has likely
changed since that savepoint which requires us to use the selection
from that savepoint
* theme: nightfox - fix subselection highlighting
This fixes an issue with subselect highlighting on the same line as
reported here: https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/discussions/5158
* theme: nightfox - update bufferline colors
This uses `ui.bufferline` to make it easier to distinguish
between (in-)active tabs/buffers.
* inject language based on file extension
Nodes can now be captured with "injection.filename". If this capture
contains a valid file extension known to Helix, then the content will
be highlighted as that language.
* inject language by shebang
Nodes can now be captured with "injection.shebang". If this capture
contains a valid shebang line known to Helix, then the content will
be highlighted as the language the shebang calls for.
* add documentation for language injection
* nix: fix highlights
The `@` is now highlighted properly on either side of the function arg.
Also, extending the phases with `buildPhase = prev.buildPhase + ''''`
is now highlighted properly.
Fix highlighting of `''$` style escapes (requires tree-sitter-nix bump)
Fix `inherit` highlighting.
* simplify injection_for_match
Split out injection pair logic into its own method to make the overall
flow easier to follow.
Also transform the top-level function into a method on a
HighlightConfiguration.
* markdown: add shebang injection query
