Benno Schulenberg 3a22028042 tweaks: make two of the changes that 'autoupdate' suggests
Also, normalize a bit of indentation.

Benno Schulenberg f12264723d tweaks: replace two more occurrences of 'AC_TRY_RUN' with 'AC_RUN_IFELSE'
Leave the occurrences in the Slang stuff alone, as all that stuff
will be removed after the next release.

Benno Schulenberg e8abbc7045 build: stop using an obsolete macro, and use 'void' for signal handlers
The Autoconf manual says that 'AC_TYPE_SIGNAL' is obsolete and

Benno Schulenberg 73cd96838e help: do not leave the cursor on the status bar after a search
(This effectively reverts commit ba47abb4 from two days ago, but it

does not need to be efficient.)

Benno Schulenberg b9a1a586c0 display: force the cursor to reappear in a better way (when using Slang)
The cursor would disappear after any message on the status bar --

Benno Schulenberg 7b19b4114c docs: improve two wordings in the sample nanorc 2020-09-11 10:45:19 +02:00
Benno Schulenberg 3e9c2ecc85 help: in the tiny version, show Prev/Next Word before Backward/Forward
In the tiny version (built with Slang and running on Debian's bterm)
the Ctrl+Left/Ctrl+Right keystrokes do not work.  When the terminal
is wide enough, instead of showing ^B + ^F for Backward and Forward
(which are unneeded because the unmodified arrow keys work fine),
show M-B + M-N for Prev Word and Next Word.

(Listing ^Space and M-Space instead would cause "Prev Word" and
"Next Word" to be truncated.  They are weird keystrokes anyway.)

Also, list M-Q + M-W for "Previous" and "Next" next to "Where Is"
and "Replace", so that it is slightly clearer what they refer to.

Benno Schulenberg d2d0c665b1 display: force the cursor to reappear after a message (when using Slang)
For some reason, when running a tiny nano built with Slang on the bterm
of a Debian installer image, the cursor disappears when certain things
are written to the status bar.  Make the cursor reappear by rewriting
the two help lines with dummy items (and then rewriting it again with
the normal menu in the central loop).  Of course, this does not help
when the user uses -x or --nohelp to suppress the help lines, but at
least in the default setup the cursor doesn't get hidden now and then.

This mitigates https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?59091.

Benno Schulenberg 50aa3587d4 build: abort the update script if a PO file contains a control character

Benno Schulenberg 0bc834e6f3 syntax: po: highlight embedded control codes that shouldn't be there
For some reason the Romanian PO file contains a literal ^Q in one
of its translated messages -- currently at line 1984.  This stray
^Q causes 'file' to classify po/ro.po as data.

Make such mistaken control codes easier to spot when using nano.

Benno Schulenberg dd24f6a18d suspension: resume properly from an external SIGSTOP (when using Slang)
Slang apparently needs a call to SLsmg_refresh() to restore the screen
content and put the cursor in the right place.  But call this function
only when the suspension was actually caused by an external SIGSTOP,
because otherwise the original screen (from which nano was invoked)
gets plastered with nano's interface and content -- upon exit, this
is annoying and confusing.

Do not stuff a dummy keystroke into the input stream, as it seems to
get placed *after* the first byte of the next keystroke from the user.
That would cause an "Unknown sequence" for some keystrokes.

This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?59077.

The previous commit fixed https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?59071.

That bug existed since version 5.1, commit cc6d1d59.

But before that, a capital Ñ could not be typed (when built with Slang)
and would enter an invalid byte upon the next keystroke.

That bug existed since version 2.8.6, commit 43a5c876.

Benno Schulenberg cf4901da2d suspension: do not enter an invalid byte upon resume (when using Slang)
Instead of stuffing 0x91 into the input stream, use 0xFF when built
with Slang -- the same code that Slang itself produces when resuming
from an externally induced suspension.  This byte is ignored.

In a UTF-8 locale, it should be safe to ignore the byte 0xFF coming
from the keyboard, as no valid UTF-8 sequence can contain 0xFF.

In an ISO8859 locale, this change prevents ÿ from being typed on the
keyboard -- it can still be entered with <Esc> <Esc> 255, though.
My apologies to the people of Pierre Louÿs and L'Haÿ-les-Roses.

Benno Schulenberg 98a24fc8f9 build: to verify wide curses, probe for a function that cannot be a macro
This probing has been changed four times in the past:

    git log --grep get_wch

In March 2005, commit 2161fa62 changed the probe from get_wch() to
wget_wch(), reasoning that "get_wch() might be a macro instead of
a function".  (Four months earlier, commit 3ba9c351 changed it
from addwstr() to wget_wch(), probably for the same reason.)  But
three months later, in commit 25799f68, the probe gets changed to
get_wch() again, because "it's a more generic function"...

It seems clear that the non-macro argument is the stronger one.
See the NOTES section in 'man get_wch' for its possible macroness.

Benno Schulenberg bbc7c59563 browser: sort names that differ only in case with uppercase first
This is the opposite of what 'ls' does in a UTF-8 locale, but nano
has never followed the collating rules of Unicode (uppercase after
lowercase, ignoring punctuation, and so on) -- it would be strange
to change that now.

Until now, nano left such equivalent names unsorted, in a seemingly
random order.

Benno Schulenberg 5a635db262 chars: reduce searching time with roughly 85 percent for plain ASCII
Make case-insensitive searching in a UTF-8 locale eight times faster
when the actual characters involved are plain ASCII.

This makes us faster than 'less', and as fast as Vim and Emacs.

The disadvantage of this change is that searching for a string that
begins with a multibyte character is nearly ten times slower than
searching for one that begins with an ASCII character.  This may be
unsettling when searching a huge file first for a simple ASCII string
and later for a UTF-8 one.  Doing this second search, the user might
get impatient: "Why is it taking so long?"

(This patch fell through the cracks four years ago, when I worked on
the searching code.  It sat in a branch on top of other changes that
I never applied because I made different improvements.  The speedup
at the time, on that machine, was only around sixty percent, though.
But measuring it now again on the same machine, it clocks in at an
82 percent reduction with -O0 and an 87 percent reduction with -O2.)
