* Split helix_core::find_root and helix_loader::find_local_config_dirs
The documentation of find_root described the following priority for
detecting a project root:
- Top-most folder containing a root marker in current git repository
- Git repository root if no marker detected
- Top-most folder containing a root marker if not git repository detected
- Current working directory as fallback
The commit contained in https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/pull/1249
extracted and changed the implementation of find_root in find_root_impl,
actually reversing its result order (since that is the order that made
sense for the local configuration merge, from innermost to outermost
ancestors).
Since the two uses of find_root_impl have different requirements (and
it's not a matter of reversing the order of results since, e.g., the top
repository dir should be used by find_root only if there's not marker in
other dirs), this PR splits the two implementations in two different
specialized functions.
In doing so, find_root_impl is removed and the implementation is moved
back in find_root, moving it closer to the documented behaviour thus
making it easier to verify it's actually correct
* helix-core: remove Option from find_root return type
It always returns some result, so Option is not needed
* 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

* Add command line parameter to specify log file
I had the logs of my debug helix mixed in with the logs from the
production helix.
Add a `--log` command line argument to redirect any logs to other
files, making my debugging easier :-)
* Update completion files with `--log` argument
The tutor file is loaded as .txt which can potentially spawn a
language server. Then the path is unset, but the LS remains active.
This can cause panics since updates are now submitted for a doc
with no path.
As a quick workaround we remove the extension which should avoid
detection.
Fixes#3730
* Don't change config to default when refreshing invalid config
* Propely handle theme errors with config-reload
* Extract refresh theme into seperate function
Helix is first and foremost a modal editor. Willingness to support non-modal
editing is there, but it is not one that should be encouraged with the default
settings. There are an increasing number of users who are stumbling because
they are trying to use Helix as a non-modal editor, so this is an effort to
encourage new users to stop and take notice that Helix has a different paradigm
than VSCode, Sublime, etc. Users can still add these bindings back to their own
configs if they wish.
`extend_line_above` (and `extend_line` when facing backwards) skip
a line when the current range does not fully cover a line.
Before this change:
foo
b#[|a]#r
baz
With `extend_line_above` or `extend_line` selected the line above.
#[|foo
bar]#
baz
Which is inconsistent with `extend_line_below`. This commit changes
the behavior to select the current line when it is not already
selected.
foo
#[|bar]#
baz
Then further calls of `extend_line_above` extend the selection up
line-wise.
