The plain keys that are valid in the help viewer are a perfect subset of
those that are valid in the file browser, so just use the same function
to do the interpretation for both. It is not a problem that it returns
function pointers for some keystrokes that have no meaning in the help
viewer, because both NULL and an unhandled function pointer result in
the "Unbound key" message.
Allow the user to paste in the character for Yes, No, or All. If the

The tiny version is oblivious of bracketed pastes, as it serves no
purpose: in the tiny version there is no auto-indent nor undo nor
tabs-to-spaces conversion.
Any modifier keys that are needed to start the execution of a macro
(or of a string bind) should not affect the interpretation of the
keystrokes that are contained within the macro or the string.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?57660.
Bug existed since macros were introduced, in version 2.9.0.
A control code cannot be a Meta keystroke, and a plain printable
character as key code necessarily means it is a Meta keystroke.
So, comparing just the key code is enough.
Note that DEL_CODE (0x7F) will never occur as input key code, because
it gets translated to KEY_DC in the input routine (or to KEY_BACKSPACE
when --rebinddelete is in effect).

As long as the user does not define any Sh-M-X bindings in their nanorc,
<Shift> and <CapsLock> will not have any effect on <Alt+letter> combos.
But as soon as any Sh-M-X combination is bound, <Shift+Alt+letter> will
be seen as different from the unshifted keystroke.

Since ^@ is rebindable too and also a synonym of ^Space, it makes
more sense to allow the user to specify ^` instead, as it is an
unshifted keystroke on US keyboards.
Also, color ^` as valid in a nanorc file, and color ^` and ^@ in
the help viewer.
The meta flag needs to be suppressed only for the self-defined
<Meta+arrow> key codes.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?57643.
Bug existed since commit 5130c35b from a few hours ago.
Some key strings map to the same key code, so to unbind also a string's
synonyms, go through the list comparing against the key code. It has
the additional advantage that it is faster: a plain value comparison
instead of a string comparison.
There is no need to compare also the meta flag, because plain printable
ASCII characters (from 0x20 to 0x7E) cannot be shortcuts, so when such
a character matches, it necessarily means it is a meta keystroke.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?57397.
When assign_keyinfo() gets passed zero as key code, it will call
keycode_from_string() to determine the key code from the string.
So, remember the key code when keycode_from_string() gets called
the first time to avoid the second call.
When the mark is set at the current cursor position, and then something
is pasted (either with ^U or from outside of nano), then this entire
pasted text should be marked -- just like when it had been typed. So,

before the cursor but also when it is at the same place as the cursor.

The suppression of auto-indentation, automatic hard-wrapping, and
tab-to-spaces conversion is now inherent in the way the reading-in
of a bracketed paste is handled by the previous commit: as a single
block of text.
This makes an external paste (with mouse or <Shift+Insert>) behave
the same as an internal paste (^U), and also inherently suppresses
auto-indentation, automatic hard-wrapping, and tab conversion.
This fulfills https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?54950.
This is a workaround for the VT not being able to handle zero-width

The problem has existed since forever, but has become noticeable
since the capability for line numbers was added in version 2.7.1.
(The ideal behavior would be that nano would warn the user beforehand,
before the file that is being edited by someone else gets overwritten,
but that would require many more changes. So... just give a helpful
warning -- that's already better than it was.)
(When the new or changed name is that of an existing file AND this
file is being edited by some other editor (or nano itself), then the
behavior is rather strange: nano asks whether to continue, but the
file has already been overwritten and there is nothing the user can
do to cancel or revert things. A later commit should improve this.)

The extract() and copy_from_buffer() functions are mainly used for
cutting a line or a region, so move them to src/cut.c. Also move
the function for which copy_from_buffer() is a wrapper.
When suspending nano on a Linux console (or FreeBSD console), the
helpful message about using the 'fg' command overwrote the start
of the second help line, kind of hiding the message. So, output
a double newline before the message to make it stand out.
Also, drop a pointless cursor movement, as endwin() determines
the placement of the cursor all by itself.
Since the previous commit, USE_SLANG can only be defined when NANO_TINY
is also defined. This means that code that is present only in non-tiny
versions does not need to cater for Slang.
With ncurses, a window resize will cause getch() to return immediately
with some dummy value, which nano can discard. But with Slang, getch()
will return only when the next keystroke is typed, so the received code
should then not be discarded.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?57507.
The F13 to F16 function keys are no longer bound by default, and when
there is no nanorc file, there is no way to bind them, so there is no
point in recognizing their escape sequences.
Also, avoid calling a case-changing function when it's not needed.
And elide a default case that can never occur (because the function
always gets called with one of the four letters).
Nano does not do anything for the keystroke anyway (KEY_B2, the center
key on the numeric keypad, gets translated to ERR later on), so there
is no point in recognizing some of its escape sequences -- let those
sequences result in "Unknown sequence" instead.
When --rawsequences is used, consume the full escape sequences for
the F17 to F24 function keys (on xterm-compatible terminals and on
the Linux console), to prevent them entering junk into the buffer.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?57483.
When a line in a help text is wider than the terminal, then do not break
that line at COLS - 1, but simply at COLS. In olden times it made some
sense to have an empty column on the right of the introductory text, to
mirror the one on the left. But since the width of the introductions
got limited to 74 columns (four years ago, in commit a9aa0ef9), those
texts have (on a default 80-column terminal) at least six empty columns
on their righthand side. And on narrower terminals, we really don't
want to waste anything and should use all available space.
Also, this whole mechanism of making an exception for end-of-string or
end-of-paragraph and letting only those make use of the final column,
it was a waste of time: it kind-of did the whole break_line() process
again, but then for the entire string (which can be some five hundred
characters long in the introductory texts). So... get rid of it, make
it simple. On an 80-column terminal it doesn't make any difference.
When break_line() is called with its last parameter set to TRUE
(meaning that it will break also at a newline) it will return a
value that is bigger than 1. So it is pointless to ensure that
it is at least 1.
When justifying a paragraph, always first squeeze() is called on
the text (which at that moment consists of a single long line),
which means that (in its wrappable part) this line contains only
single spaces as word separators (and maybe a double space after
a period). So there is no need to call the general is_blank()
function -- checking for a space is enough.
Rationale: nano should not wrap inside the quoting part of a line
because it would change the quoting level, which would misrepresent
things, nor should it wrap inside the indentation part because when
the user tries to indent something beyond the target wrapping width,
she/he does not intend to create a line containing only whitespace,
but effectively wants to push the text beyond the wrapping width.
This copies the behavior of the rewrap_paragraph() routine that is
used during justification, so that automatic hard-wrapping ends up
with the same result as justifying.
Also, always do automatic hard-wrapping when --breaklonglines is in
effect, also when --autoindent is active.

That bug existed since version 4.4, commit 8fce33af.
That is: allow tabs and spaces to be mixed when comparing indentation.
When the mix of tabs and spaces pushes the text of a line to the same
column as on a consecutive line, then those two lines are considered
to have the same indentation and thus belong to the same paragraph.
This reverts the previous commit (594ef222), and improves upon how
nano has behaved since version 2.9.8.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?57404 differently.
That is: two consecutive lines are considered to belong to separate
paragraphs when the smallest indentation of those two lines is not
character-by-character identical with the corresponding piece of
indentation of the other line.
In other words: if one line is indented with spaces, and a consecutive
line is indented by the same distance but with tabs, they are taken to
belong to different paragraphs: a justification will not merge them.

For symmetry with the help viewer.
Even though the user could still exit with the bare Q, E, or X keys,
these are not listed in the help text, so they don't really count.
As was noted two months ago: nowhere in the manual does it say that
keywords are case-insensitive, and the manual shows all keywords in
lowercase, and all the examples are in lowercase too. So... simply
expect keywords to be in all lowercase.
It allows entering a TAB character at the cursor position while the
mark is on the same line as the cursor, as some users sometimes do.

Run the formatting program outside of curses mode, so that any output
(complaints) that it produces will be on the terminal after exiting

The word "fixer" sounds too much as if the command would be able
to fix mistakes or correct errors. Especially when seen next to
"linter", it sounds as if one does a syntax check and the other
fixes the found mistakes. (Although the command might in theory
be used for this, it is not its intended purpose.)
When dealing with a plain, seven-bit ASCII character, don't bother
calling is_cntrl_mbchar() but determine directly whether it is a
control character. Also reshuffle things so that we don't compare
charlen == 1 when we already know it is 1.
After the previous change, all remaining calls of parse_mbchar() have
NULL as their third parameter. So, drop that parameter and remove the
chunk of code that handles it. Also rename the function, as there are
already too many functions that start with "parse".
Do not wait for the user to press a key when there is some problem
with any of the history files. Just start and indicate the problem
on the status bar. The precise error message is stored and will be
shown on the terminal when exiting from nano.
This addresses https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?56524.
Now all calls of mallocstrncpy() have NULL as the first parameter
(apart from one call in utils.c, but that can be changed), so the
function can be simplified.
This case is caught (by O_EXCL) later on, at the appropriate moment:
when the file is created.
Also, this removes a superfluous lstat() for each temporary file.
Weird bug. The first occurrence is probably never hit because the
existing file has been tentatively opened fourteen lines earlier,
but that looks superfluous: double work. And the second occurrence
will not be hit because the temp file is unlikely to have disappeared.
Also, don't bother assigning the stream pointer of the existing file
to variable 'f', as it gets overwritten right away by the pointer of
the temp file.
A possible change in filename won't be pushed to the screen until a
doupdate() is done, and that won't happen until nano is waiting for
a keystroke again. So... just let it be.
The old default behavior of showing the first three messages with a
long pause after each of them was annoying, and the final "Further
messages were suppressed" hid the relevant information. So, when
there is more than one error message, just pause very briefly and
then add trailing dots to the first message.
This makes the 'nopauses' option a no-op.
This addresses https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?57048.

The nano.h file is included only by proto.h, and the proto.h file is
included just once by each src/*.c file. The include guards for these
two header files serve no purpose.
(Include guards are useful when you have bunches of header files
and several of them include others from amongst themselves.)
When an operation that replaces the entire buffer is undone, the
position of the viewport is lost. Compensate for this by storing
the row of the cursor in the undo item, and, after executing the
undo item, arranging the viewport so that the cursor is back on
the original row -- the row where the operation was invoked.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?57039.
For the three operations (justification, spell checking, and filtering)
that need to undo or redo two suboperations (cutting and then pasting)
in one go, pass the message that describes the operation to add_undo(),
so that the undo item does not need to be modified after the call.
This looks better, but does add some twenty NULL parameters elsewhere.
When 'extendsyntax' is used with a 'header' or 'magic' command, it
must be processed immediately. It is pointless to store the command,

For historical reasons the rebinding code allows binding F13...F16,

On a Linux console, Shift plus F1...F8 produce F13...F20. So: allow
to bind the full shifted F13...F24 range. It costs no extra code
and makes things more rounded.

In a non-UTF8 build, mbwidth() returns always 1, so it is pointless

Also, don't bother special-casing the function for a non-UTF8 locale.
When there are fewer than four menu items, act as if there are four:
make their clickable width half the width of the screen.
Until now, when there were two menu items, their clickable width would
be the full width of the screen, which was overwide. But when there
was just one menu item, its clickable width would suddenly be as small
as when the menu had the maximum number of items (12 for an 80-column
screen). This was odd.
Also, slightly simplify another computation.
The first_sc_for() function is somewhat costly, so avoid calling it
when it is not necessary.
Most menus have either so many entries that unbinding some keys does
not reduce the number of shown entries, or they have so few entries
that each entry already has space enough and will not profit from
having more room available. But the WriteOut menu is an edge case.
Most translators don't use --tempfile and translate the key tags for
the WriteOut menu making use of all 17 positions that are available
for each of them. This makes that when --tempfile is used, some of
those tags get truncated. This is not so bad, because --tempfile is
normally not used. But when it isn't used (when the discardbuffer
function isn't bound), the WriteOut menu should make full use of the
available width to avoid truncating any translated tags.
In this way the keycode cannot be unbound from the 'indent' function,
so pressing <Tab> on a marked region will always indent the region.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?56960.
Bug existed since the "tabbing" of a marked region was introduced,
in version 2.9.2, commit 09958ebd.
The 'tabgives' command is syntax-specific and should be followed by a
string containing the character(s) that a single press of the <Tab> key
should produce -- most likely a single TAB or a small bunch of spaces,
but any string is allowed. This overrides the 'tabstospaces' option.
When one wants to make sure <Tab> inserts always four spaces and never
a TAB when editing a Python file, one could add to one's nanorc:
extendsyntax python tabgives " "
where there are four spaces between the quotes. And when one wants
to ensure, when editing a Makefile, that <Tab> always inserts a TAB
and never spaces, independent of what tabstospaces is set to, one
could add to one's nanorc:
extendsyntax makefile tabgives " "
where there is a literal TAB character between the quotes.
