Even though a user would never type ^J to start a new line, accept it
as a synonym of <Enter> (^M) in a bracketed paste, because apparently
bash accepts it as a synonym too.
This works around https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?58010.
Only for the last item at the end of each of the two help lines there
are sometimes a few extra columns available. Do not use these extra
columns also for the other help items, because apparently, when wmove()
lands in the second column of a double-width character, it does not
wipe out this character (replacing it with a space) but goes to the
next column instead, causing a misalignment of the text.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?57994.
Bug existed since version 1.3.12, commit e806ab84.
The placeholder half-duplicates the character that is actually shown
at the beginning of the next row. When NOT softwrapping, showing a
"[" before the ">" kind of makes sense: to avoid having a gaping gap
there. But when softwrapping, all characters of the line will be on
the screen (except when going offscreen at the bottom), so there is
no need to show a placeholder for anything.
I imagine that when reading softwrapped Chinese or Japanese text,
things are easier to understand when no characters are shown that
are not actually in the text.
This avoids https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?57993.
Bug existed since version 2.8.6, commit 8490f4ac.
When the description of a keystroke starts with a very long word,
or when it does not contain any spaces at all (like for Chinese
and Japanese), do not break in the blanks before the description
but instead break IN the description, at the edge of the screen.
In other words: when wrapping a help text, do not consider blanks in
the first 17 columns to be blanks (unless it is a continuation line).
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?57987.
Bug existed since version 4.8, commit 1486f32d,
when the wrapping of help texts was improved.
Keeping the invisible cursor at the left edge avoids any line getting
scrolled horizontally.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?57991.
Bug existed since version 2.8.2, since the help texts got generated
and displayed in a different way in order to become searchable.
When either only --disable-justify or --disable-speller is used, the
"Go To Line" item should not be placed after the ^C Position item, to
keep the subsequent items (Undo, Redo, and so on) nicely paired.
(Things changed since the Linter is no longer bound to ^T by default.)
This avoids an unintended rebinding of the <Backspace> key
on terminal emulators.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?57981.
