More generally, after invoking the formatter, the entire buffer should
be cut (to be replaced with the reformatted text) and not just the part
before the mark, because then everything after it would be duplicated.

Between an endwin() and a doupdate() there should be no calls of
statusline() or statusbar() -- these two functions may be called
only when in curses mode.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?58868.
Bug existed since version 4.3, commit 57390cff.
If forking fails, we must first return to curses mode before we can show
an error message on the status bar. (This additionally requires storing
the error number, because doupdate() apparently sets it to zero.)

Bug existed since version 4.8, commit 61197563.
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>.

While ignoring permission errors from fchmod() and fchown() is okay
(since normal users are not always privileged to make such changes),
ignoring also more serious errors (like EIO) is not ideal.

When there is just one match when <Tab> is pressed, and this match
is a directory, then a slash is added to 'shared', overwriting the
terminating NUL character. So, strcpy() cannot be used for copying
this 'shared' string, but strncpy() is needed, and the result needs
to be NUL terminated afterward.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?58826.
Bug existed since commit b0f56398 from eleven days ago.
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.

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.)
Rereading is unlikely to fail, but *if* it fails, maybe there is a
serious problem and the user wants to try and fix it before saving
the buffer and thus overwriting the original file.
After thinking about it, I don't like it that nano makes an unrequested
failsafe backup: in the vast, vast majority of cases it is a waste both
of time and of disk wear. If the user is worried about data loss, they
can use --backup. The fsync() after writing out the buffer (added in
commit a84cdaaa) already reduces the chances on data loss somewhat.
This change moves the code responsible for backup creation to a new,
separate function, backup_file(). This function returns a boolean
indicating whether saving the buffer should proceed or not.

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.
The file-saving procedure that nano followed was not crash-safe
under ext4 (and perhaps other filesystems) when editing existing
files. Specifically, modifying an existing file could lead to data
loss, since a modified file is not replaced atomically on disk.
Using "-B" did not ensure crash-safety either since the backup might
not have persisted on disk when the writeout of the file started.
In addition, if I/O pressure filled up the remaining disk space
after an existing file is truncated during save, nano would not
be able to finish saving the file, which would remain truncated.
This change addresses these issues by making nano do the following:
1) Make a temporary backup of the file being written so that there
is no time window such that (a) an existing file is truncated, and
(b) the buffer corresponding to said file has not been flushed to
disk. Such time windows are dangerous because, under certain
circumstances, they can lead to data loss on some filesystems.
The backup is made by copying the original file, and a second
attempt to HOME is made in case that first copy fails.
2) Use fsync() so that, when the save finishes, it is certain
that the file has been successfully written to disk.

Bug existed since version 4.8, since bracketed pastes
were introduced in commit f705a967.
The codes from (for example) U+D800 to U+DFFF are invalid. If any
such invalid code is entered at the Unicode Input prompt, nano should
not act as if the code was accepted and inserted into the buffer, and
should certainly not mark the buffer as Modified.

Bug existed since version 4.9, commit b3faf353.
There is no need to place the cursor up front, as the drawing of
each name includes the coordinates where the name must be drawn.
Also, trim two comments and reshuffle a free().
When using --constantshow and --nohelp and opening a new buffer,
the cursor location should be shown on the status bar right away.
Bug existed since commit 2e688640 from a few hours ago.
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'.
By default, this function is bound to ^L, to make that keystroke do
something actually useful. To not lose the Refresh function that this
keystroke had, the centering function additionally does a full redraw
and refresh of the screen.
Before version 2.9.8, nano would consider any line that started with
leading whitespace as the beginning of a new paragraph, and would thus
be unable to justify an indented piece of text (unless autoindent was
switched on). I thought that this was too limiting and changed the
way nano detects and parses paragraphs. It works fine in texts where
paragraphs occupy multiple lines, but breaks down for paragraphs of
a single line: nano merges those with adjoining lines.
Now, when -O or --bookstyle or 'set bookstyle' is used, nano will again
consider a line that begins with whitespace as the start of a paragraph
-- when 'autoindent' is OFF.

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).
The get_history_completion() function is called in just one place,
and gets called only when the length parameter is larger than zero.
Also, improve a few comments.
Especially when it are just a handful of possible completions, it is
much nicer to have them listed close to the prompt bar where the eyes
of the user are.
