Especially when it are just a handful of possible completions, it is
much nicer to have them listed close to the prompt bar where the eyes
of the user are.
This fulfills https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?58620.
This gives quicker feedback, and spares the user unnecessary beeps
and typing. Also, now a beep after a <Tab> means just one thing:
there are NO completions.
This fulfills https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?58627.
The Spell Checker is no longer among the first twelve items of the
main menu, so the conditional placing of the Go To Line item should
no longer depend on it.
The parameter was referenced in just one place. So, simply check for
the three relevant menus (and unrestricted mode) and be done with it.
This also has the pleasant effect that the menu name is now the first
parameter of do_prompt(), thus clearly indicating what prompt it is,
instead of having an opaque TRUE or FALSE value at the beginning.
Tabbing can list all files in the given directory, but restricted mode
is supposed to prevent the user from any access to the filesystem...
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?58632.
Bug existed (in this form) since version 1.3.4, commit f7b5d930.
Instead of burdening seven other calls of do_prompt() with a useless
parameter, just check for MGOTODIR in the appropriate place. It also
saves having to pass the parameter down through three more functions.
The single dot serves no purpose, as the user is already there. And
the double dot is reached more easily by typing a second dot first.
And anyway, . and .. are not shown when the user does not type a dot
first, so why show them when the user types a single dot followed by
<Tab><Tab>? Most likely the user wants to see actual dot files, so
just show those.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?58619.
Now the help lines can be toggled not only while editing, but also at
the Read (^R), Write (^O), Execute (^T), Search (^W), Replace (M-R),
Goto (^/), and Yesno prompts, and also in the file browser and when
searching for a file name. The help lines cannot be toggled in the
help viewer, nor when searching in a help text, nor in the linter,
as these three things force the help lines to be on.
Furthermore, the 'nohelp' function can be rebound in all relevant
menus (default binding: M-X).
This fulfills https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?58471.
The modifier has to come before the foreground color name, separated
by a comma, and after 'bold,' (when present). This has no effect on
terminals that are incapable of cursive text, like the Linux console.
This fulfills https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?56525.
The username_tab_completion() function taken from busybox-0.46 was
just a stub, it contained basically nothing. Chris himself wrote
the function in November 2000 (commit be77c611), and rewrote it in
January 2001 (commit 2c2c5f21).
The version of username_tab_completion() in that latter commit looks
somewhat like the version of Vladimir N. Oleynik <dzo@simtreas.ru>
(busybox commit 4e338757). That commit comes three days after Chris'
commit, but Vladimir's original email is from a week earlier:
http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/busybox/2001-January/035687.html.
So... it is quite possible that Rocco saw that email and suggested
to Chris to rewrite username_tab_completion() using getpwent().
Anyway, the version that was taken from busybox-0.46 was just four
lines and thus not worthy of copyright. The two other functions
that were copied were heavily modified in 2000, so it's better to
add that year in the copyright notice. It is fine to tweak the
notice: it just says that the original authors must be attributed,
not that the exact text must remain unchanged.
Instead of first trying to match things, and then discarding these
matches when the cursor is not at the end of the offered fragment
('buf'), simply don't bother to do any matching in that case.
The variable is set to zero at its declaration, and the second function
is called only when the first is either not called or found nothing --
thus '*num_matches' will still be zero.
This increases the chances that the wanted hash will be present in
the checkout when we haven't changed the hash for a few months.

Names give a rough idea of what the color will look like, whereas
numerical indexes would not do this at all.
Nine extra colors seems enough. If there were more, no one would be
able to say for sure which is which when two similar colors are used
several rows apart.
This partially fulfills https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?56445.
After a year or so, when people have had time to convert their syntaxes
to use 'bold' and/or 'light' instead of 'bright', we can drop this
colorizing, and still later stop recognizing 'bright' altogether.
Having the M-F toggle non-persistent, makes the behavior of ^R
predictable. This allows string binds that load a file to work
correctly independently of when M-F was last pressed.
The -F/--multibuffer command-line option and "set multibuffer"
in a nanorc file determine the default behavior of ^R.

The name 'bright' does not fit its effect (often bolding the typeface),
so better discourage its use.
Furthermore, colorize 'bold' and 'light' also for interface colors.
