When the terminal has just one row, there is no room to constantly show
the position of the cursor, so do not allow the user to switch it on.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?61445.
Bug existed since version 5.8, commit 36ffb5f0.
With --zero or 'set zero', nano will hide the title bar or the minibar
(whichever is active) and will use all rows of the terminal for showing
the text of the buffer. Only when there is an important message will
it be shown on the bottom row -- until the next keystroke.
This feature can be toggled with M-Z.
The feedback at startup ("Read nnn lines") is suppressed with --zero,
because it disrupts the fullscreen experience (and is hardly useful).
The "Reading..." message then needs to be suppressed too, otherwise
it creates an annoying little flash.
There are still some issues that need to be addressed:
* In the browser, when the highlighted item is on the bottom row, it
will get obscured by the prompt bar or the "Search Wrapped" message.
* In the edit window, when the search occurrence is on the bottom row,
it can get obscured by the "This is the only occurrence" message.
* When tabbing at a prompt shows possible completions, they are shown
a row too low.
The text to be justified has been excised from the buffer and is now
in the cutbuffer, so we cannot compare any of its lines to 'filetop'.

Bug existed since version 4.0, commit 14c08589.
Also, drop the unneeded and mistaken 'end=' in the first regex, as
a coloring rule with just end="something" is not valid. And drop
the requirement for having trailing whitespace or nothing at all,
as it does not constitute a useful restriction.
Also, fold two regexes together, for economy.
The coloring rule for 'unbind' still checked for the old 'extcmd' and
'externalcmd' menu names. And not coloring binds and unbinds as valid
when followed by something other than a comment was overrestrictive,
because the bind or unbind command would work just fine.
(Nano silently allows trailing garbage on any line without a regex.)
Also, take the opportunity to order the menu names in the bind and
unbind rules in the same way.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?61419,
and fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?61420.
First bug existed since version 5.0, commit d9106abf.
Second bug existed since version 2.3.3, commit 9c11ba93.
In the beginning, the goal for nano was to be a drop-in replacement for
Pico. Pico did not know a Suspend command, so the ^Z keystroke needed
to be conditionalized on an option (-z or --suspend or the toggle M-Z),
just like the ^S and ^Q keystrokes (for stopping and resuming terminal
output) were conditionalized on --preserve.
But nano has abandoned full Pico compatibility since version 4.0. It
is time to unconditionalize ^Z as well. This should not be a problem:
Debian and Ubuntu have had 'set suspend' in their /etc/nanorc for years,
so a considerable portion of nano users have had ^Z enabled by default
for a long time, and no one seems to have complained.
If the keystroke bothers some user, they can unbind it in their nanorc.
They will still be able to suspend nano through the Execute menu: ^T^Z.
This addresses https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?61372.
The spotlighting should only be dropped when in the main menu, like in
the code thirty lines up, where 'timed' became TRUE only for MMAIN.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?61398.
Bug existed since version 5.8, commit 3f340836.
Normally, returning to the main loop will set 'focusing' back to TRUE,
but the replacement loop doesn't return until replacing is finished.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?61397.
Bug existed since version 5.0, commit d8249917.
When --breaklonglines is in effect and the user pasted just a few words
(anything without a linebreak), then act as if this short text had been
typed by the user and hard-wrap the line when it became overlong.
This fulfills https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?61353.
When --wordbounds (-W) is active, nano considers punctuation as
word-forming characters and will thus count words the same way
as 'wc -w' does. This is how nano counted words until now.
But when --wordbounds is not active (the default), only letters
and digits will be considered word-forming and thus lone groups
of lines and dashes and other punctuation will not be counted
as words, which is more like how a human would count words.
This addresses https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?61367.
(It would be much better if the build rules automatically included
any *.nanorc files in the syntax/ directory into the tarball...)

Bug existed since version 5.9, commit c2790a8a.
Also, trim some whitespace and group one rule better.
Also, fix a stray closing parenthesis in the JSON syntax,
and add the missing slash to the possible escaped characters.
(Reference: https://www.json.org/json-en.html.)
Also, improve the ending of multiline strings in the Rust syntax.
A backslash should not be allowed inside a quoted string unless
it is used to escape another character.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?61389.
Bug existed since each of these syntaxes was introduced.
(Awk and Fortran do not know include files with names between
angled brackets, so those regexes are dropped in the bargain.)
Quoted strings cannot start within another quoted string and end after
that other string has ended. Therefore single-quoted and double-quoted
strings should (as much as possible) be colorized by a single rule, so
that overlapping colorations are avoided.
(This also fixes a double typo in the PHP syntax (\. --> \\.) that has
been there since the PHP syntax was added in 2008, commit 90ee8ee4.)
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?61387.
Bug existed since each of these syntaxes was introduced,
the oldest ones around 2006, a few others around 2015.
The one that got it right was the Lua syntax from 2011.
The "\.?" part was pointless. It says that the string "nanorc"
*might* be preceded with a period. Sure, but if the period is
absent, then anything else may be there too, so the optional
period gives zero restriction.
The restriction should be: either the filename has the extension
".nanorc" OR the full filename is "nanorc". So the "nanorc" part
must be preceded by either a period or a slash.
(However, in the times of commits 3dc0e23e and dc9c40a5, fifteen
and eighteen years ago, it was still the user-provided filename
that was matched against the regex, not the full-path filename.
The latter method arrived in commit ec8d51be, six years ago.)
Strings may not contain a double quote unless it is escaped.
Reference:
https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/tokens.html#string-literals
(This will still not colorize multi-line strings with an unescaped
newline, will still colorize "this\" as if it were a valid string,
and will still miscolor things when there is another string after
the closing quote of a two-line string. But those things can't
be helped -- line-based regexes cannot emulate a full parser.)
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?61361.

Or rather, move the chapter about command-line options to between
the chapters on file browser and feature toggles. Also, rename the
chapter about the built-in help, and move the section about screen
layout to be the first in the editor-basics chapter.
