add proper msg_set_pos event, delet win_scroll_over_*
make compositor click through unfocusable grids
add MsgArea attribute for the message/cmdline area, and add docs and tests
Before now, Nvim always degrades UI capabilities to the lowest-common
denominator. For example, if any connected UI has `ext_messages=false`
then `ext_messages=true` requested by any other connected UI is ignored.
Now `nvim_ui_attach()` supports `override=true`, which flips the
behavior: if any UI requests an `ext_*` UI capability then the
capability is enabled (and the legacy behavior is disabled).
Legacy UIs will be broken while a `override=true` UI is connected, but
it's useful for debugging: you can type into the TUI and observe the UI
events from another connected (UI) client. And the legacy UI will
"recover" after the `override=true` UI disconnects.
Example using pynvim:
>>> n.ui_attach(2048, 2048, rgb=True, override=True, ext_multigrid=True, ext_messages=True, ext_popupmenu=True)
>>> while True: n.next_message();
Initially we will use this for the popupmenu, floating windows will
follow soon
NB: writedelay + compositor is weird, we need more flexible
redraw introspection.
wp->w_height_inner now contains the "inner" size, regardless if the
window has been drawn yet or not. It should be used instead of
wp->w_grid.Rows, for stuff that is not directly related to accessing
the allocated grid memory, such like cursor movement and terminal size
Note about shada.c:
- shada_read_next_item_start was intentionally shadowing `unpacked` and
`i` because many of the macros (e.g. ADDITIONAL_KEY) implicitly
depended on those variable names.
- Macros were changed to parameterize `unpacked` (but not `i`). Macros
like CLEAR_GA_AND_ERROR_OUT do control-flow (goto), so any other
approach is messy.
Previously, when neovim would wrap a line across multiple lines,
terminal emulators could not detect that the lines represent a single
wrapped line as opposed to several separate lines. As a result, many
terminals' selection/copying functionality would treat a wrapped line as
several newline-delimited lines.
Fix this by reenabling a "special trick" from Vim. When a line is
wrapped, write the last character of that line followed by the first
character of the next line to the terminal. This hints to the terminal
that the next line is a continuation of the current line.
Extends the raw_line event with a "wrap" parameter which controls when
to do wrap hinting.
Add ext_newgrid and ext_hlstate extensions. These use predefined
highlights and line-segment based updates, for efficiency and
simplicity.. The ext_hlstate extension in addition allows semantic
identification of builtin and syntax highlights.
Reimplement the old char-based updates in the remote UI layer, for
compatibility. For the moment, this is still the default. The bulitin
TUI uses the new line-based protocol.
cmdline uses curwin cursor position when ext_cmdline is active.
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.
Make HlAttr contain highlighting state for both color modes (cterm and rgb).
This allows us to implement termguicolors completely in the TUI.
Simplify some logic duplicated between ui.c and screen.c. Also avoid
some superfluous highlighting reset events.
