Curses cannot function if not informed via TERM which type of terminal
is being used. As many terminals are mostly compatible with a VT220,
falling back to "vt220" when TERM is unset has a good chance of giving
the user a usable nano, instead of simply failing.
(Falling back to "vt100" is not good as it contains padding delays.)
This partially addresses https://bugs.debian.org/991982.
When a segment of text is extracted, copy any anchors that it has
into the cutbuffer, so that they get saved in the undo item, so that
an undo will put these anchors back on the lines where they were,
instead of leaving an inherited anchor at the top of the segment.
And when text is pasted, clear any anchors in it, so that they will
not travel nor multiply.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?61162.
Bug existed since version 5.0, since anchors were introduced.
Any error message will already have been written to the terminal by
statusline(). Also, "Buffer not written to" looked too much like
"Buffer written to"; one had to look closely to see the difference.
Make sure that when multiple nanos with nameless buffers die,
each of them tries saving those buffers to different files.

And make the wording for the --historylog option similar.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?60868.
Bug existed since version 2.3.0, commit 8e2a9307, since the
saving and restoring of the cursor position was introduced.
When something that is called from die() calls die() again,
there is nothing we can do any more but give up.
This would have prevented the spiralling as
seen in https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?60853.
When it is not specified, it defaults to the value for 'titlecolor'.
When not using --minibar, I want the title bar to be blue (as that is
how I've always had it), but with --minibar, I want this mini bar to
be grey, as otherwise it reminds me too much of the prompt bar.
Also, colorize 'set minicolor' as valid in a nanorc file.
Even though I know that spotlighted text is not selected, I still
regularly think for a fleeting instant that the spotlighted text
can be cut with a ^K. Mitigate this by dropping the spotlighting
after 1.5 seconds (or 0.8 seconds when using --quick).
When using +/ or +?, any minor feedback should be cleared,
to not distract from the highligted search result.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?60669.
Bug existed since version 5.5, commit b86f7868,
since the manner of grading status-bar messages changed.
After a "+" only c, r, C, and R are valid characters,
and only when immediately followed by / or ?.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?60667.
Bug existed since version 4.4, commit 2326bf6,
since searching at startup with +/ or +? was introduced.
When there is just one row and there is a message, it is not a good idea
to draw the contents of the buffer as it would overwrite the message.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?60582.
Bug existed since version 2.7.0, since nano allows very flat terminals,
and was made worse by commit 2cf28f9d from yesterday.
When there is just one row, the text to be edited needs to be shown
there, not some meta information about the cursor position.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?60563.
Bug existed since version 2.7.0, since nano allows very flat terminals.
When there is just one row, the user wants to see text on this row,
not a bar with some meta info.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?60508.
Bug existed since version 5.5, since the minibar was introduced
with commit d31cc373.
When undoing several actions, it is possible for the line at the top
of the screen to be removed, leaving 'edittop' pointing to a structure
that has been freed. Soon after, 'edittop' is referenced to determine
whether the cursor is offscreen... Prevent this invalid reference by
stepping 'edittop' one line back in that special case. This changes
the normal centering behavior of Undo when the cursor goes offscreen,
but... so be it.
When a single node is deleted, it is always possible to step one line
back, because a buffer contains always at least one line (even though
maybe empty), so if the current line could be deleted, there must be
one before it (when at the top of the screen).
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?60436.
Bug existed since version 2.3.3, commit 60815461,
since undoing does not always center the cursor.
Whenever softwrap was toggled on or line numbers were toggled on/off or
the window was resized, the extra rows per line needed to be recomputed
for ALL the lines. For large files with many long lines this was too
costly.
(This change causes the indicator to have an incorrect size when there
are many softwrapped chunks onscreen, but that will be addressed later.)
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?60429.
Problem existed since version 5.0, since the indicator was introduced.
In UTF-8 valid multibyte characters are at most four bytes long,
and now that we no longer make use of mblen() and mbtowc() from
the underlying system, we won't get five- or six-byte sequences
mistakenly reported as valid (by glibc). So it is always enough
to reserve space for just four bytes per character.
(Well, it now checks that ^G is still the first shortcut that is bound
to 'do_help', but that is good enough: if the user did any rebinding,
they probably do not need any reminder about how to invoke 'Help'.)
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?60315.

Now that a search match gets highlighted, the unsuspecting user might
think that the text is selected, because it is colorized the same way
as selected text. Avoid this by colorizing a highlighted search match
with its own specific color, black on yellow by default.
In addition, suppress the feedback for M-C also when --minibar
isn't used, as the feedback obscures the effect of the toggle:
showing information about the cursor position on the status bar.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?60019.
Bug existed since commit 7545eb5b from one week ago.
If a paste (or insertion) is more than a screenful, it will not set
'focusing' to FALSE. In that case, and when line numbers are already
active, then 'focusing' should be kept set to TRUE, despite it getting
set to FALSE by ensure_firstcolumn_is_aligned(). That latter action
is meant to cushion size changes of the edit window, but in this case
the large paste (or insertion) should trump the size change.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?59981.
Bug existed since version 2.8.3, commit 2b385478.
Having a block cursor present when highlighting a match...
does not look nice. So... hide the cursor until the next
keystroke, unless --showcursor or 'set showcursor' is used.
Remarks are about unsurprising things but it's good to give feedback
on them; "mistakes" are unexpected things, and get colored like an
error; and information is something that the user requested and thus
needs to stay on the status bar until the next keystroke.
