closes#7698
Wrapping a command in double-quotes allows cmd.exe to safely dequote the
entire command as if the user entered the entire command in an
interactive prompt. This reduces the need to escape nested and uneven
double quotes.
The `/s` flag of cmd.exe makes the behaviour more reliable:
:set shellcmdflag=/s\ /c
Before this patch, cmd.exe cannot use cygwin echo.exe (as opposed to
cmd.exe `echo` builtin) even if it is wrapped in double quotes.
Example:
:: internal echo
> cmd /s /c " echo foo\:bar" "
foo\:bar"
:: cygwin echo.exe
> cmd /s /c " "echo" foo\:bar" "
foo:bar
Currently writedelay shows the sequence of characters that are sent to
the UI/TUI module. Here nvim has already applied an optimization: when
attempting to put a char in a screen cell, if the same char already was
there with the same attributes, UI output is disabled. When debugging
redrawing it it sometimes more useful to inspect the redraw stream one
step earlier, what region of the screen nvim actually is recomputing
from buffer contents (win_line) and from evaluating statusline
expressions.
Take the popupmenu as an example. When closing the popupmenu (in the
TUI), currently 'writedelay' looks like vim only is redrawing the region
which the pum covered. This is not what happens internally: vim redraws
the entire screen, even if only outputs the changed region.
This commit allows negative values of 'writedelay', which causes a delay
for all redrawn characters, even if the character already was displayed
by the UI before.
Most fonts should have these by now. Both are a significant visual
improvement.
- Vertical connecting bar `│` is used by tmux, pstree, Windows 7 cmd.exe
and nvim-qt.exe.
- Middle dot `·` works on Windows 7 cmd.exe, nvim-qt.exe.
For reference: tmux uses these chars to draw lines: │ ├ ─
Problem: 'hlsearch' highlighting not removed after incsearch (lacygoill)
Solution: Redraw all windows. Start search at the end of the match. Improve
how CTRL-G works with incremental search. Add tests. (Christian
Brabandt, Hirohito Higashi, haya14busa, closesvim/vim#2267)

Problem: Incremental search only shows one match.
Solution: When 'incsearch' and and 'hlsearch' are both set highlight all
matches. (haya14busa, closesvim/vim#2198)

Problem: Cannot set a separate highlighting for the current line in the
quickfix window.
Solution: Add QuickFixLine. (anishsane, closesvim/vim#1755)

Problem: When running :make the output may be in the system encoding,
different from 'encoding'.
Solution: Add the 'makeencoding' option. (Ken Takata)

Get terminal debugging info by starting Nvim with 'verbose' level 3:
nvim -V3log
This is like Vim's `:set termcap`, which was removed in Nvim (and would
be very awkward to restore because of the decoupled UI).
The flag enables the current local directory set by ":lcd" to be saved
to views which is the current default behaviour. The option can be
removed to disable this behaviour.

Runtime updates that were bundled into the otherwise NA commit:
Problem: "make proto" adds extra function prototype.
Solution: Add vim/vim#ifdef.

- Prefer "TUI" where possible to refer to the host terminal.
- Remove obsolete tags and ancient TTY exposition.
- Establish "terminal" to consistently mean "terminal emulator" in all
Nvim documentation. This removes the need for verbose qualifiers in
tags and prose.

The details are in the on-line help under :help cursor-shape .
The brief precis is that nvim is following the lead of tmux, and going
beyond what tmux does to make cursor shape changes work on a broad range of
terminals. This includes on tmux itself, which is no longer bypassed.
Reverts commit 337b6179dfCloses#6716 at the expense of not being able to use a
multi-key 'pastetoggle' manually.
Multi-key 'pastetoggle' can still be used when inserting the entire
option into the typebuffer at once (though the use here is
questionable).
Also remove those tests to do with waiting for the completion of
'pastetoggle' and mention in the documentation that 'pastetoggle'
doesn't wait for timeout.
