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.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?58959.
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.)
