Benno Schulenberg 3ade8b29cc build: stop distributing the README.GIT file
There is no need for normal users to build from git.  Do not give
the impression that that procedure is in any way recommended.

Benno Schulenberg 4873cc26f2 build: stop mentioning Slang in two ./configure messages
Nobody ought to be using Slang, so don't give people the wrong
impression by mentioning it (and even mentioning it *first*).

Benno Schulenberg 0f8423eb4c tweaks: elide an unneeded variable
Storing the orientation of the marked region beforehand is not needed,
as this orientation is readily available also after the justification.

(By the way, cursor and mark need to be swapped after justifying
a backward-marked region because the rule is that the cursor gets
placed *after* the justified paragraph.  Maybe that should change?)

Benno Schulenberg b60fec5db3 history: do not interpret a failing stat() as an error
The most likely reason for stat() returning -1 is that the file
does not exist.  And an absent positionlog file is not an error.
(In some cases it is, like immediately after writing the file,
but even then we don't want to complain, because it may have
been some other process that deleted the file straightaway.)

This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?58993.

Bug existed since version 5.0, commit fcb9e58b.

Benno Schulenberg aa257ef58e display: restore the ability to resize the screen while searching
This ability was lost in commit 92298349 from two hours ago, which
bypasses the keystroke buffer and its integrated screen resizing.

This new implementation is better than it was before, because it
responds almost instantly to a resize instead of with a delay of
up to a second.

Benno Schulenberg 8a5449cebe input: allow also a Meta keystroke to abort a Search command
(Still, this does not allow a full escape sequence to be used as
the Cancel command, but I think that is an acceptable limitation,
because 1) nobody ought to be using --rawsequences, and 2) very
few people will bind Cancel to something like F3 or Ins.)

This improves the fix for https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?58825.

Benno Schulenberg 9229834935 search: poll the input stream directly, not nano's own keystroke buffer
When checking (during a Search command) whether the user has pressed
the Cancel keystroke, look at ncurses' input stream directly instead
of at nano's own keystroke buffer, because the latter may contain the
copied keystrokes of a macro and we don't want to discard those.

(This does not yet allow a Meta keystroke to be used for Cancel, but
the next commit will fix that.)

This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?58825.

Bug existed since version 2.9.0, since the macro was introduced.

Benno Schulenberg 71752f47cb docs: reshuffle the section about the file browser to a better place

with the toggles or with nanorc files.

Benno Schulenberg 51f27d3f0c input: hold on to a shift-selected region when an unbound key is struck
There is no reason to deselect the region, as nothing has changed.

(This also retains the shift-selected region when a non-shortcut key is
typed in view mode, which makes sense, as again nothing was changed.)

Benno Schulenberg b5fb41e963 docs: mention in the FAQ how to change the escape sequences of urxvt
Replace an obsolete question that doesn't have a good answer: setting
TERM to vt100 is unlikely to make the more complicated keystrokes work,
which are the ones that are most likely not to work.

Benno Schulenberg d09055db43 input: dawdle after an ESC also when --rawsequences is used
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.

Benno Schulenberg 50b61bef6f input: discard any multibyte character when <Alt> is being held
Otherwise the <Alt> key would simply be ignored.  It's better to reject

Benno Schulenberg 3cb55c8b27 verbatim: reserve enough space for the result also in non-UTF-8 locales
Also when each character is just one byte, parse_verbatim_kbinput()

Benno Schulenberg 7e8b1ed420 build: stop distributing the two old Changelogs
For installing and using nano, those two Changelogs are useless,
and for inspecting the history of nano, 'git log' is much better.

Only the most recent Changelog is somewhat useful for some users,
for walking in some detail through the changes that were made in
the last few versions.

Benno Schulenberg 100747f56b verbatim: discard entire keystroke when it's not valid for Unicode Input
This will not work for the deviant escape sequences for F1 to F5

I can't be bothered to handle those too.

Benno Schulenberg 8e226a9f28 verbatim: do not report "Invalid code" when the terminal is resized
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.

Benno Schulenberg be20383240 verbatim: report and ignore an invalid keystroke for Unicode input
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.
