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.
For some reason, calling halfdelay() undoes the ISIG mask.
So, mask keyboard interrupts again immediately after the call.

Instead of redisplaying the minibar only upon the next keystroke
(when some feedback message is shown on the status bar), time the
waiting for the keystroke out after four fifths of a second, then
redisplay the minibar and continue the wait.
The bottom window (the prompt bar and the shortcuts) does not shift
its position when line numbers are active, so mouse clicks in this
window should be not be compensated for the line-numbers margin.

This allows using <Esc> <Esc> <letter> in a macro as an alternative
for <Ctrl+letter>, but it does require that one does not type <Esc>
by accident when recording a macro as it might modify the subsequent
keystroke when the macro is replayed.

Bug existed since version 3.0, commit ecc9211a.
The workaround was for https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?51335
(a cursor-misplacement bug), but both an recent Xfce Terminal
and a recent Konsole appear unaffected by the issue. So, drop
the workaround for modern systems.
Checking for the actual version of libvte is too complicated, so
assume that libvte is 0.58 or newer (where the problem is fixed)
when ncurses is 6.2 or newer.
This avoids unnecessarily truncating the last help item on the
very bottom row when there is still plenty of room.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?59550.
Bug has been visible since at least version 2.5.1.
(Yes, the test is for 6.0, but the bug was actually fixed in 5.9,
as far as I remember -- I just wasn't sure and didn't want to bother
building different versions of ncurses myself.)
The terminal window in the graphical Debian installer (the default)
produces the same escape sequences as xterm for F1 to F4. Though
TERM is set to xterm, the xterm terminfo data is not available, so
ncurses is unable to translate the sequences for us. :| Therefore,
recognize the relevant raw escape sequences.
Also, eat all bytes of the non-recognized modified function and arrow
keys, so that they do not enter junk into the buffer.
The tiny version is probably only ever used in the Debian installer,
on the bterm terminal, which produces escape sequences like those of
a Linux console. So, exclude all other raw sequences.
(After support for Slang has been removed, we can maybe even exclude
ALL raw sequences from the tiny version, and the corresponding option
(-K/--rawsequences) too.)
At least since version 229 of xterm (from August 2007), the escape
sequences for F1 to F4 have been "Esc O P" to "Esc O S". There is
no bracket in those sequences, and there probably never was -- most
likely the extra "[" in nano's code was a slip of the fingers.
With --stateflags (short form: -%) or 'set stateflags', nano reserves
the righthand end of the title bar not for showing "Modified" but for
showing the state of auto-indentation (I), the mark (M), the breaking
of long lines (L), macro recording (R), and softwrapping (S).
When the buffer is modified, this is indicated with a star (*) after
the file name (shown in the center of the title bar).
This fulfills https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?57953.

When nano reports "Unbound key" or "Unknown sequence", this message
should stay onscreen only for the relevant keystroke, not for any
succeeding keystroke.
This addresses https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?59119.
Bug existed since before version 2.0.6.
Slang fails to translate the longer sequences, and then truncates
these sequences to just four bytes, effectively destroying them.
Therefore, when built with --with-slang, always activate --raw-sequences.
This avoids https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?49771.
Bug was visible since version 2.5.0, since bindings
for Ctrl+Left/Ctrl+Right were added.
The cursor would disappear after any message on the status bar --
for example, also when M-W is typed and nothing is found -- so the
mitigation trick needs to be performed in statusline() itself.
This addresses https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?59091.
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.
Bug existed since before version 2.2.4.
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.
Those casts are redundant, and sometimes ugly. And as the types of
variables are extremely unlikely to change any more at this point,
the protection they offer against miscompilations is moot.

When keypad() is set to FALSE, like for verbatim input, ncurses is
not waiting its fifty milliseconds after an ESC to see if another
code will follow it, so nano itself will have to pause a little.
Otherwise 'solitary' could get set to TRUE when in fact the ESC
is followed very closely by another code.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?58955.
Bug existed since version 2.6.2, commit f2150d3f.
Also when each character is just one byte, parse_verbatim_kbinput()
can produce two bytes; plus the terminating NUL that is three bytes.

Bug existed since version 4.9, commit 03d296eb.
This will not work for the deviant escape sequences for F1 to F5
on the Linux console nor for Alt+arrow on urxvt and such, but...
I can't be bothered to handle those too.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?58929.
Bug existed since commit be203832 from earlier today.
During verbatim input at most four integers are produced (the longest
possible unicode sequence), so use the value 999 to indicate a special
condition (a screen resize) that should not enter anything into the
buffer AND should not produce any error message or beep.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?58923.
Bug existed since version 5.0, commit 5899181a.
When Unicode Input has started (by typing 0 or 1 at the Verbatim Input
"prompt"), and something is typed that is not a hexadecimal digit, then
don't try to enter this character into the buffer but simply report it
as invalid and ignore it. Because most likely the user mistyped and
actually meant to enter a valid hex digit.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?58927.
The bug was old -- it existed since at least version 2.0.6.
The correct sequences begin with "Esc [" instead. I cannot find in the
histories of VTE and Gnome Terminal when these sequences were corrected.
Also exclude a bug check from the tiny version.
When we get an ESC from the keyboard, it might be the start of an
escape sequence, but the keyboard routines will need a little time
(tens of microseconds, probably) to get these codes to ncurses.
So, when doing verbatim input, pause a moment after an ESC.
This completes the fix for https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?58909.
Always interpret ESC followed by BS or DEL as <Alt+Backspace>.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?58910.
Bug existed since commit 40b03162 from one week ago,
since M-Bsp was hard-bound to deleting a word backwards.
(This could lead to unwanted behavior when the user wants to enter
a literal escape character (0x1B) while the input is somehow getting
stalled, because then a command keystroke after the M-V <Esc> would
get inserted verbatim too, instead of getting acted upon. But that
is a small price to pay for getting the correct behavior for both
M-V M-Bsp and M-V M-Enter.)
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?58909.
Bug existed since version 2.6.3, commit 08c51cfd,
but also occurred erratically beforehand.
It jars a bit that it is <Ctrl+Delete> that deletes a word rightward
and <Alt+Backspace> that deletes a word leftward. But it's good to
also have a two-key keystroke bound by default to 'chopwordleft',
and not just the three-key <Ctrl+Shift+Delete>.
This fulfills https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?58709.

The whiles are unneeded because the result of get_input() can
never be NULL when in waiting mode -- and only when searching
for something are we NOT in waiting mode.
<Ctrl+numeric slash> does not invoke Go To Line, so it is fitting
that <Esc> <Esc> <numeric slash> does neither. If some user does
want the double escape plus slash to work, they can use --raw.
(Also, if someone really uses <Esc> <Esc> <numeric slash>, they
probably also type the desired line number on the numeric keypad,
and for that to work they needed to have NumLock engaged, and in
that case the double escape plus slash will work fine.)
(Getting rid of this numeric-slash support makes the three-escapes
case very similar to the one-escape case, allowing the first to be
folded into the latter in the next commit.)
With the two situations that need to preserve the escape counter
now returning directly, the resetting of this counter can happen
at the end of each case block.
The escape-parsing routine nowadays returns FOREIGN_SEQUENCE instead
of ERR when encountering an unknown sequence. So, with the two cases
that demand ERR now handled directly, there is no need to check for
ERR any more.
There is no need to reset the digit counter (because this counter
matters only when the escape counter equals two) -- resetting the
escape counter is enough.
The digit counter will be reset to zero the next time when <Esc>
is pressed, and the byte holder gets re-initialized when the next
first digit is pressed. And the escape counter is reset to zero
after returning from a result-giving call of get_byte_kbinput().
When get_byte_kbinput() is called, it has already been determined that
the keyboard input is a digit from zero to nine (or from zero to two
for the first digit), so there is no need to check this again.
When <Esc><Esc> is followed by digit 0 or 1 or 2 but then NOT two more
digits follow, then both the escape counter and the digit counter should
start afresh when a new ESC code arrives.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?58788.
Bug existed since before version 2.0.6.
Also, remove an unneeded 'if', as parse_escape_sequence() is only
ever called when there are at least two bytes after the Esc code.
(If there were not, the 'for' loop after calling convert_sequence()
would use an uninitialized 'consumed' value.)
The escape-sequence codes for the different keypad keys are simply
the relevant ASCII code plus 0x40, so they are easy to translate.
Also, do not accept keypad keys with multiple modifiers (Shift+Alt,
Shift+Ctrl, Alt+Ctrl, Shift+Alt+Ctrl) -- report "Unknown sequence"
for those.
Until now, on an xterm, Shift plus any keypad key would say
"Unknown sequence", which is not useful. On other terminal
emulators (urxvt, Pantheon, LXTerminal), Shift plus a keypad
key already produces the relevant digit or symbol, so this
change harmonizes the behavior of the different emulators.
However, on a Linux console, Shift plus a keypad key moves
the cursor and selects the text that is passed over. And
holding Alt while pressing a keypad key does nothing at all.
For the operator keys on the numeric keypad (/, *, -, and +),
make both the Alt and the Ctrl modifier a no-op.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?58731.
Bug existed since version 2.9.3, commit e734488c.
This allows pasting six hexadecimal digits after typing M-V
in order to enter a specific Unicode character.

Bug existed since version 4.8, since bracketed pastes
were introduced in commit f705a967.
The constant cursor display must be suppressed whenever a message
was printed to the status bar. That is: whenever 'lastmessage' is
something other than 'VACUUM'.
Instead of calling a function that tries to find the relevant operation,
just add three hidden hard-bindings at the end of the shortcuts list.
They are hidden because we don't want them to show up in the help text,
because we don't know what to call them (as a Cancel and Suspend key
don't exist on normal keyboards) or naming the key would be confusing
(Sh-Ins is grabbed by the desktop manager and doesn't reach nano).
There were no calls of statusbar() or statusline() before curses mode
was entered. But since the previous commit curses mode is entered
even earlier, so...
Instead of storing for each line the ordinal number of the first chunk
in that line, simply store the number of extra chunks in the line.
It now takes some more computation to actually draw the scrollbar, but
it saves a lot of computation when just inserting or deleting characters
(when using --softwrap and causing a change in chunk count).
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?58510.
Bug existed since commit 6bccedb3 from two days ago.
A new member ('chunk_nr') is added to each 'linestruct', to store
the serial number of the first chunk of that line, so that, when
softwrap is on, the scroll-bar thing can be computed relative to
chunks instead of relative to actual lines.
To guarantee that 'chunk_nr' is correctly synced, the buffer is
renumbered whenever the number of chunks in a line changes, and
also when softwrap is toggled on, and when buffers are switched.

Nano would beep (and report "Unknown sequence") only when in the main
edit window, in the help viewer, or in the file browser. But the same
keystroke at a prompt would be enigmatically silent.
Also, in the file browser, nano would leave the cursor at the end of
the "Unknown sequence" message when --showcursor was used.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?58490.
Bug existed (in this form) since around version 2.7.4,
and in a worse form since around version 2.3.5.
A help text is contained in a normal buffer (since quite a while now),
so cursor placement should work like in a regular edit window.
Also, remove an unneeded switching on of the cursor -- it is already on
as nano is waiting for keyboard input.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?58489.
Bug existed since version 3.2, commit 10d9742c, since --showcursor
shows the cursor also in the help viewer.
When resizing the screen or toggling the help lines or refreshing
the screen with ^L, what used to be total_refresh() would first call
what used to be total_redraw(), to tell ncurses to redraw whatever
had been on the screen so far, before proceeding to fully redraw the
content of the title bar and the edit window and the bottom bars.
That was duplicate work.
Thus, rename total_redraw() to total_refresh(), so that ^L in the
edit window, help viewer, and file browser will redraw the screen
just once. This also preserves whatever was on the status bar
(when --quickblank isn't used).
Rename the old total_refresh() to draw_all_subwindows() and call
this routine when resizing the screen or toggling the help lines
or returning from the credits crawl.
Now all functions that are relevant only to softwrapping
get called only when softwrapping is on.
This also allows to elide an intermediate function call.
