For consistency, these five names ought to start with "flip_", but
then the bindable functions would need to be renamed too, and that
would be annoying for the user, *and* it would create too many names
that start with "flip" -- it wouldn't be distinctive any more.
The keystrokes are not listed, but should work like
they do in a normal, editable buffer.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?61274.
Bug existed since version 4.0, commit bc98dbca.
The functions to_first_file() and to_last_file() can get called from
do_statusbar_input(), which is called indirectly from do_prompt(),
and are expected to make the corresponding adjustment.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?61273.
Bug existed since version 5.0, commit 07c1ac90.
In Dejavu Sans Mono the old pointing triangles had a decent size,
but in Noto Mono and in Ubuntu Mono (fonts that handle combining
diacritics better) those triangles were massive, visually taking
up more than a single cell, overlapping the closing parenthesis
when they are displayed in the second column. Not nice.
The new pointing small triangles look good in the Noto and Ubuntu
fonts, but are real tiny in Dejavu. :| Oh well, one can't have
everything.
(Other triangles are not an option, because they don't degrade to
actual arrows when on a Linux console.)
This can be useful when wanting to search for the other occurrences
of some (long) string in the buffer: select, M-6, ^W, ^U, <Enter>.

The "^_" has always been poorly legible (the underscore melting into
the bottom of the terminal) and difficult to type (Shift+Ctrl+minus).
The "^/" is both more readable and easier to type.
In terminal emulators, "^/" is shown, but on a Linux console "^-",
as ^/ does a backspace in the default console key mapping.
Also, allow using "^-" when rebinding ^_ in a nanorc file.
This addresses https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?57393.
Having a block cursor present when highlighting a match...
does not look nice. So... hide the cursor until the next
keystroke, unless --showcursor or 'set showcursor' is used.
Subtract one from the count only if all possible items in the menu
have been counted (item == NULL), meaning that the last item in the
Write-Out menu (the 'discard_buffer' function) has been counted too.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?59549.
Bug existed since version 4.5, commit b3ace4d8.
Also, to keep menu items nicely grouped in the Main, Search, Replace,
and Goto menus, reorder a few items when no help is available.
This addresses https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?59110.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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 Spell Checker is no longer among the first twelve items of the
main menu, so the conditional placing of the Go To Line item should
no longer depend on it.
Now the help lines can be toggled not only while editing, but also at
the Read (^R), Write (^O), Execute (^T), Search (^W), Replace (M-R),
Goto (^/), and Yesno prompts, and also in the file browser and when
searching for a file name. The help lines cannot be toggled in the
help viewer, nor when searching in a help text, nor in the linter,
as these three things force the help lines to be on.
Furthermore, the 'nohelp' function can be rebound in all relevant
menus (default binding: M-X).
This fulfills https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?58471.
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...
This displays a scrollbar-like thing on the right edge of the screen,
giving a rough indication where in the buffer the text that is being
shown in the viewport is located, and how large/small a portion of
the buffer this text is.
(Support for softwrapping, and an option to turn the indicator on,
will arrive in subsequent commits.)
This fulfills https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?57956.

(Unfortunately, this means that ^L cannot be used for the
Linter in the "Execute Command" menu.)
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?58469.
Bug existed since around version 2.1.0.
This makes that the M-F toggle stays roughly in the same place when
toggling between "Read File" and "Execute Command", and groups the
six special commands together.
This makes suspension more discoverable, and allows the user to rebind
^Z in the main menu without losing the ability to suspend nano.
This drops the ^X (Flip Execute) toggle from the menu -- keeping it
would make an ugly uneven number and would reduce the space for each
menu item too much (clipping "Full Justify" and "Cut Till End") --
but it is still present as a blind toggle.
Make the "Execute Command" menu accessible also with a single keystroke
(^T), not just with a double one (^R^X). This is useful, because no one
will suspect that "Execute Command" can be found behind "Read File".
To not disturb muscle memory too much for people who are used to ^T
invoking the Spell Checker, a second ^T will invoke it.
Instead of creating a special Tools menu, add the five functions that
affect the whole buffer to the "Execute Command" menu. There is room
for these five functions there, and they kind of fit in because three
of them (Speller, Linter, and Formatter) actually invoke an external
command, and Full Justify could have been implemented externally, and
the destructive Cut Till End ought to have required a double keystroke
since the beginning.
