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.

Instead of calling in twenty places parse_mbchar(pointer, NULL, NULL),
use a simpler and faster char_length(pointer). This saves pushing two
unneeded parameters onto the stack, avoids two needless ifs, and elides
an intermediate variable.
Its main purpose will follow in a later commit: to speed up searching.
There is no need to make a copy of the line, because if there are some
bytes that are moved, they are always moved toward the left -- the line
can only shrink, never expand.
When squeezing excess spaces from a line has proved unsuccessful, we
have already copied all of its data, so it hardly makes a difference
whether we free the old or the new data. Choose to free always the
old data, so that we can simplify things.
There is no need to save, clear, and restore the mark when counting
words, lines and characters, because partitioning and unpartitioning
the buffer does not use the mark nor affect it.
Now M-D will report 0 lines instead of 1 line for an empty buffer, and
will match the output of 'wc --lines' as long the file is a POSIX file.

Bug existed since before version 2.1.10.
For this one quick switch back and forth there is no need to report
anything on the status bar nor to update colors and such. In this
case, those things are just a waste of time.
No one ever reported seeing the message that was removed in commit
c039aaad one month ago, so most likely the code is correct and nano
never calls line_from_number() with a non-existent line number.
For both an integrated and an external spell check, fake the Shift key
being held so that (when the cursor is moved by a changed length of a
word) a Shift-selected region is not unexpectedly cancelled.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?56365.
Don't bother checking for an error from sigaction(), because the only
things it could error out for is when it is passed an invalid signal
(which SIGINT isn't) or oldaction/newaction would point to memory that
is outside of nano's control (which is obviously not the case).
Also, the setup of signal handlers during startup does not check for
errors, so why do it here?
If functions deeper down would put up some message on the status bar,
it should not be cleared. The chance that messages from a spell-check
program stay onscreen is minute: the edit window is fully refreshed,
the status bar is fully drawn, and the help lines (if there are any)
are redrawn. Only the title bar is not refreshed, but the chance that
an error message has spilled onto the top row... And anyway, the
spell checker should not print any error messages at all.
The integrated spell checker does not use regular expressions, and
'refresh_needed' is set to TRUE anyway, so the tidy_up_after_search()
call there is effectively a no-op.
The lines from the cutbuffer will be renumbered when it matters: when
they get pasted.
The only place that used the numbering of (a copy of) the cutbuffer
(the updating of an undo item) already iterates through its lines.
Just add a counter there instead of making use of the line numbers.
All extractions are done into the cutbuffer, so it is pointless to pass
'cutbuffer' and 'cutbottom' in and back out as parameters all the time.
Just use those global variables directly.
Also, rename the function as there is no longer a buffer among its
parameters.
The 'cutbottom' variable is only ever used when cutting or copying
consecutive lines: for appending the current line to the already
existing lines in the cutbuffer. As soon as some other operation
is performed, 'cutbottom' becomes irrelevant, it could be set to
anything, it doesn't matter: the pasting of the cutbuffer does not
use the value of 'cutbottom', nor does any other operation.
Avoiding this leak is more trouble than it's worth: invocation_error()
will be called seldomly, and when it is called, the user will probably
quickly exit from nano to fix things.
Also declare the speller functions as const again, so they don't give
the impression that their result can be freed.

Now you can have a look elsewhere in the buffer (and even delete
or paste stuff there) and when you return to the original line
and continue typing, any spillover from automatic hard-wrapping
will spill over onto the same line it spilled over to before.
You can even switch to a different buffer and return and continue
typing, and stuff will still spill over to the same line.
In the bargain, this gets rid of a bit of flag-resetting code
that was run for many keystrokes, in most cases needlessly.

Do the same as in the previous commit: re-evaluate the start of the
viewport when lines that are located above this viewport may have
changed. This is relevant when softwrap is on.
When only the trailing chunk of a line is displayed on the top row of
the screen, and the unindenting of this line leads to a reduction in
the number of chunks, then the starting point of the viewport needs
to be re-evaluated. For simplicity, do this always when something is
unindented.

When nano was configured with --enable-tiny --enable-speller, the

The blocking is needed only during the wait(), so unblock SIGWINCH

a possible error exit.
Somehow a SIGWINCH pushes nano past the wait() in do_alt_speller(),

Bug existed since the justifying of a marked region was introduced,
four days ago, with commit f7f5514e.
This matches Pico's behavior. However, Pico doesn't add the quoting +
indentation to the line in which the selection ends, but this is wrong,
so nano does add it. Also, Pico doesn't account for partial quoting +
indentation at the start or end of a selection, but this is wrong, so
nano does.
Unlike a regular paragraph, marked text may have different quotes and
more than two types of indentation. Handle this by replacing deviant
quotes with the quote of the first line, and deviant indentation with
the indentation of the second line.
This is modelled after Pico's behavior. However, Pico won't do anything
if you do a full-justify while the mark is on. But this is unnecessarily
limiting, so, when the mark is on, nano will handle a full-justify and a
plain justify the same.
This currently does not handle the lead (quoting + indentation) in
justified selections, does not put mid-line justified selections onto
separate lines, and does not strip whitespace after the lead in justified
selections, the latter two of which Pico does. These behaviors are
forthcoming.
concat_paragraph() concatenates a paragraph into a single line, and
rewrap_paragraph() rewraps that line into multiple lines again.
These two will be needed when the justifying of marked text is added.
Instead of passing 'quote_len' to these functions, calculate it directly
in them.
This will be needed when the justifying of marked text is added. When
unmarked text is justified, it is a single paragraph and by definition
has a uniform quoting part. But marked text may be a jumble of lines
that have different quoting parts.
When doing replacements or fixing misspelled words, and edit_refresh()
is called to highlight the relevant word, then the current menu can be
anything from MREPLACEWITH, MYESNO, MSPELL, or MMAIN. Make sure it is
always set to the latter just before calling edit_refresh(), so that
display_string() will use the full length and the word gets properly
highlighted.

Not stepping beyond the last line of the paragraph means that the
length of the paragraph is always the difference in line numbers
(between first and last line of the paragraph) plus one.
When leaving the mark on while justifying and then undoing the
justification, things are likely to get messed up. My applying
David's patches only partially caused this breakage.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?55074.
Only the first search for a paragraph needs to check whether we're
currently in the middle of a paragraph. When the 'while' loop for
a full justify is executed, all calls of find_paragraph() start
either on the first line of a paragraph or between two paragraphs.
To find a paragraph, what needs to be done is:
a) When not in a paragraph, move forward until we find one, if any.
b) When in a paragraph but not at its start, move back to its start.
c) Move forward to the end of the paragraph, if any.
When, in the 'while' loop for a full justify, 'filebot_inpar' becomes
TRUE, it means that EOF has been reached and find_paragraph() should
not be called again. To allow 'filebot_inpar' to convey this meaning,
it should not be set to TRUE elsewhere, so another boolean is needed
for setting the correct length of the final line of the cutbuffer.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?55086.
The removal of the x-coordinate handling affected this. Reshuffle things
so that we can check for it after we have moved (the same way we check for
it at the beginning of the function before we move) without having to set
'quote_len' and 'par_len' unnecessarily.
Also, adjust some comments accordingly.
Move detecting the final line of the paragraph to find_paragraph(),
since a paragraph of which the final line is the last line of the
buffer will still be that way after being justified.
Also, move all x-coordinate handling to do_justify(), since it only
applies to the current buffer.
Move a few references to the current buffer to do_justify(). Also,
the check for being at the end of the buffer needs to be done after the
first paragraph is found, so that the existing behavior of finding an
initial paragraph regardless of cursor position is preserved.
The functions do_para_begin() and do_para_end() can now move through any
buffer, while the functions do_para_begin_void() and do_para_end_void()
operate on the current buffer. The latter function also returns TRUE
if the last line in the buffer is part of the paragraph.
Remove the handling of 'edittop', 'totsize', and the mark, to make the
function more general, which is needed to make it undoable eventually.
This breaks the function somewhat. Fixes for this are forthcoming.

Return immediately to editing mode when there are no messages for

Only for BACK and DEL was the first call to update_undo() -- all other
types of action would call add_undo() first, so for them the action in
update_undo() would never be different, but the line number might have
changed (like for ENTER and INSERT), so for them exceptions needed to
be made, which was wasteful.
This addresses https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?54728.
When using the internal spell checker, the message gets overwritten
immediately by "Creating misspelled word list...", and when using
the external spell checker, nano immediately exits from curses mode
and thus the message disappears (when in a terminal emulator) or it
soon gets wiped by the spell checker (when on a Linux console), thus
creating a little flash on the bottom row, which we can do without.
In the past, SIGWINCHes were responded to immediately (which was madness),
but since commit 75d64e67 all a SIGWINCH does is set a flag so that, when
the time comes to update the screen, nano knows the dimensions may have
changed. The mentioned commit removed most blockings and unblockings of
SIGWINCH, but not this one.
That is, wait with deleting words until they start under cursor,
so the user can see which word is goin to be eaten, and join lines

If find_paragraph() detects that we're not in a paragraph, it moves
forward a paragraph and then backward to that paragraph's beginning.

forth-and-back and never reaching the end of the buffer.

Instead of being entirely silent when ^] is hit after whitespace

"Not a bracket" when the cursor is not sitting on a bracket.
This makes the ^] keystroke more discoverable.
Take our cue from undoing/redoing line joins: when they take place on
the magicline without --nonewlines, they produce undo/redo items that
don't do anything to the text, but still position the cursor properly.
Reshuffle a bit of code so that we can do the same for magicline cuts.

The variable 'last_action' is set at the end of these functions,
serving to prevent a fresh action from being merged with an older
action further down on the stack. Setting 'last_action' before
exiting from undo()/redo() makes no sense.
Also adjust a sideways related old Changelog item.
The macro stuff, however, is basically my code: I told him exactly
how to do it, and I changed most of the patch before applying it.
Also, put myself in second place, as I've just about overtaken David
in the duration of maintainership.
The paragraph-aware indenting is needed only when automatic long-line
wrapping is on (that is, when not using 'nowrap': when writing prose).
When writing code, the user most likely uses --nowrap, which will make
nano indent a new line always to the same amount as the preceding line
-- when --autoindent is in effect, of course.
When doing autoindentation, and the next line is not the start of
a new paragraph, then use the indentation of that line for the new
line, as it is more likely to have the desired indentation -- the
current line might be the start of the paragraph and thus could
have a deviant indentation.
Pico wraps at the last blank character before or on the target column;
if there is no such blank, then it will wrap at the first blank *after*
the target column -- when it can wrap, it will wrap. Nano should do
the same (and judging from the comments, it intended to do the same),
instead of turning the paragraph into a single unwrapped line.
