Note for external UIs: Nvim can now emit multiple "redraw" event batches
before a final "flush" event is received. To retain existing behavior,
clients should make sure to update visible state at an explicit "flush"
event, not just the end of a "redraw" batch of event.
* Get rid of copy_object() blizzard in the auto-generated ui_event layer
* Special case "grid_line" by encoding screen state directly to
msgpack events with no intermediate API events.
* Get rid of the arcane notion of referring to the screen as the "shell"
* Array and Dictionary are kvec_t:s, so define them as such.
* Allow kvec_t:s, such as Arrays and Dictionaries, to be allocated with
a predetermined size within an arena.
* Eliminate redundant capacity checking when filling such kvec_t:s
with values.
Add space around arithmetic operators '+' and '-'.
Remove space between back-to-back parentheses, i.e. ')(' vs. ') ('.
Remove space between '((' or '))' of control statements.
Add space between ')' and '{' of control statements.
Remove space between function name and '(' on function declaration.
Collapse empty blocks between '{' and '}'.
Remove newline at the end of the file.
Remove newline between 'enum' and '{'.
Remove newline between '}' and ')' in a function invocation.
Remove newline between '}' and 'while' of 'do' statement.
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();
Why?
- Because we can.
- Because the TUI is just another GUI™
- Because it looks kinda nice, and provides useful context like 1 out of 100
times
Complies with "don't pay for what you don't use".
Some crashes for resizing were unfolded, add tests for those.
Initially we will use this for the popupmenu, floating windows will
follow soon
NB: writedelay + compositor is weird, we need more flexible
redraw introspection.
