This commit adds six new commands to interact with system clipboard:
- clipboard-yank
- clipboard-yank-join
- clipboard-paste-after
- clipboard-paste-before
- clipboard-paste-replace
- show-clipboard-provider
System clipboard provider is detected by checking a few environment
variables and executables. Currently only built-in detection is
supported.
`clipboard-yank` will only yank the "main" selection, which is currently the first
one. This will need to be revisited later.
Closes https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/issues/76
This is necessary to workaround ownership issues across function calls.
The issue notably arised when implementing the registers into `Editor`
and I was getting annoyed again when implementing copy/pasting into
system clipboard.
The problem is addressed by using macro calls instead of function calls.
There is no notable side effect.
Registers are stored inside `Editor` and accessed without `RwLock`.
To work around ownership, I added a sister method to `Editor::current`:
`Editor::current_with_context`. I tried to modify `Editor::current`
directly but it's used at a lot of places so I reverted into this for
now at least.
* add alternate file
inspired by vim ctrl-6/kak ga commands. the alternate file is kept per view
* apply feedback from #223
* rename to last_accessed
* add ga doc
* add fail message for ga
User can select register to yank into with the " command.
A new state is added to `Editor` and `commands::Context` structs.
This state is managed by leveraging a new struct `RegisterSelection`.
