Currently, when forward deleting (`delete_char_forward` bound to `del`,
`delete_word_forward`, `kill_to_line_end`) the cursor is moved to the
left in append mode (or generally when the cursor is at the end of the
selection). For example in a document `|abc|def` (|indicates selection)
if enter append mode the cursor is moved to `c` and the selection
becomes: `|abcd|ef`. When deleting forward (`del`) `d` is deleted. The
expectation would be that the selection doesn't shrink so that `del`
again deletes `e` and then `f`. This would look as follows:
`|abcd|ef`
`|abce|f`
`|abcf|`
`|abc |`
This is inline with how other editors like kakoune work.
However, helix currently moves the selection backwards leading to the
following behavior:
`|abcd|ef`
`|abc|ef`
`|ab|ef`
`ef`
This means that `delete_char_forward` essentially acts like
`delete_char_backward` after deleting the first character in append
mode.
To fix the problem the cursor must be moved to the right while deleting
forward (first fix in this commit). Furthermore, when the EOF char is
reached a newline char must be inserted (just like when entering
appendmode) to prevent the cursor from moving to the right
Some deletion operations (especially those that use indentation)
can generate overlapping deletion ranges when using multiple cursors.
To fix that problem a new `Transaction::delete` and
`Transaction:delete_by_selection` function were added. These functions
merge overlapping deletion ranges instead of generating an invalid
transaction. This merging of changes is only possible for deletions
and not for other changes and therefore require its own function.
The function has been used in all commands that currently delete
text by using `Transaction::change_by_selection`.
The current test DSL currently has no way to express being at the end of
a line, save for putting an explicit LF or CRLF inside the `#[|]#`. The
problem with this approach is that it can add unintended extra new lines
if used in conjunction with raw strings, which insert newlines for you.
This is a simple attempt to mitigate this problem. If there is an
explicit newline character at the end of the selection, and then it
is immediately followed by the same newline character at the right end
of the selection, this following newline is removed. This way, one can
express a cursor at the end of a line explicitly.
* Make `m` textobject look for pairs enclosing selections
Right now, this textobject only looks for pairs that surround the
cursor. This ensures that the pair found encloses each selection, which
is likely to be intuitively what is expected of this textobject.
* Simplification of match code

* Adjust logic for ensuring surround range encloses selection
Prior, it was missing the case where the start of the selection came
before the opening brace. We also had an off-by-one error where if the
end of the selection was on the closing brace it would not work.
* Refactor to search for the open pair specifically to avoid edge cases
* Adjust wording of autoinfo to reflect new functionality
* Implement tests for surround functionality in new integration style
* Fix handling of skip values
* Fix out of bounds error
* Add `ma` version of tests
* Fix formatting of tests
* Reduce indentation levels for readability, and update comments
* Preserve each selection's direction with enclosing pair surround
* Add test case for multiple cursors resulting in overlap
* Mark known failures as TODO
* Make tests multi-threaded or they fail
* Cargo fmt
* Fix typos in integration test comments

Example:
```
test
testitem
```
Select line 2 with x, then type Alt-C; Helix will go into an infinite
loop. The saturating_sub keeps the head_row and anchor_row pinned at 0,
and a selection is never made since the first line is too short.
`:write` and other file-saving commands now check the file modification
time before writing to protect against overwriting external changes.

This will allow testing more of the code base, as well as enable UI-
specific testing.
Debug mode builds are prohibitively slow for the tests, mostly
because of the concurrency write tests. So there is now a profile for
integration tests that sets the optimization level to 2 for a few helix
crates, and lowers the number of rounds of concurrent writes to 1000.
* Add a undo/redo split test case for crossing branches
* history: Switch up/down transaction chaining order
The old code tends to work in practice because, usually, either up_txns
or down_txns are empty. When both have contents though, we can run into
a panic trying to compose them all since they will disagree on the
length of the text. This fixes the panic test case in the parent
commit.
The 'revisions' field on History can't be treated as linear: each
Revision in the revisions Vec has a parent link and an optional child
link. We can follow those to unroll the recent history.
When using undo/redo, the history revision can be decremented. In that
case we should apply the inversions since the given revision in
History::changes_since. This prevents panics with jumplist operations
when a session uses undo/redo to move the jumplist selection outside
of the document.
This case panics since undo/redo call View::apply and here, the edit
that moves the jumplist selection out-of-bounds is not yet applied when
View::apply is called in undo/redo. View::apply should only be called
by the EditorView now.
* Add a test case for updating jumplists across windows
* Apply transactions to all views on history changes
This ensures that jumplist selections follow changes in documents, even
when there are multiple views (for example a split where both windows
edit the same document).
* Leave TODOs for cleaning up View::apply
* Use Iterator::reduce to compose history transactions

d6323b7cbc introduced a regression for
shell commands like `|`, `!`, and `<A-!>` which caused the new
selections to be incorrect. This caused a panic when piping (`|`)
would cause the new range to extend past the document end.
The paste version of this bug was fixed in
48a3965ab4.
This change also inherits the direction of the new range from the old
range and adds integration tests to ensure that the behavior isn't
broken in the future.
* Fix range offsets in multi-selection paste
d6323b7cbc introduced a regression with
multi-selection paste where pasting would not adjust the ranges
correctly. To fix it, we need to track the total number of characters
inserted in each changed selection and use that offset to slide each
new range forwards.
* Inherit selection directions on paste
* Add an integration-test for multi-selection pasting
When force quitting, we need to block on the pending writes to ensure
that write commands succeed before exiting, and also to avoid a crash
when all the views are gone before the auto format call returns from
the LS.
* Fix test::print for Unicode
The print function was not generating correct translations when
the input has Unicode (non-ASCII) in it. This is due to its use of
String::len, which gives the length in bytes, not chars.
* Fix multi-code point auto pairs
The current code for auto pairs is counting offsets by summing the
length of the open and closing chars with char::len_utf8. Unfortunately,
this gives back bytes, and the offset needs to be in chars.
Additionally, it was discovered that there was a preexisting bug where
the selection was not computed correctly in the case that the cursor
was:
1. a single grapheme in width
2. this grapheme was more than one char
3. the direction of the cursor is backwards
4. a secondary range
In this case, the offset was not being added into the anchor. This was
fixed.
* migrate auto pairs tests to integration
* review comments
This change removes language server configuration from the default
languages.toml config for integration tests. No integration-tests
currently depend on the availability of a language server but if any
future test needs to, it may provide a language server configuration
by passing an override into the `test_syntax_conf` helper.
Language-servers in integration tests cause false-positive failures
when running integration tests in GitHub Actions CI. The Windows
runner appears to have `clangd` installed and all OS runners have
the `R` binary installed but not the `R` language server package.
If a test file created by `tempfile::NamedTempFile` happens to have a
file extension of `r`, the test will most likely fail because the
R language server will fail to start and will become a broken pipe,
meaning that it will fail to shutdown within the timeout, causing a
false-positive failure. This happens surprisingly often in practice.
Language servers (especially rust-analyzer) also emit unnecessary
log output when initializing, which this change silences.
`helix_view::apply_transaction` closes over `Document::apply` and
`View::apply` to ensure that jumplist entries are updated when a
document changes from a transaction. `Document::apply` shouldn't
be called directly - this helper function should be used instead.
If a document is written with a new path, currently, in the event that
the write fails, the document still gets its path changed. This fixes
it so that the path is not updated unless the write succeeds.
The way that document writes are handled are by submitting them to the
async job pool, which are all executed opportunistically out of order. It
was discovered that this can lead to write inconsistencies when there
are multiple writes to the same file in quick succession.
This seeks to fix this problem by removing document writes from the
general pool of jobs and into its own specialized event. Now when a
user submits a write with one of the write commands, a request is simply
queued up in a new mpsc channel that each Document makes to handle its own
writes. This way, if multiple writes are submitted on the same document,
they are executed in order, while still allowing concurrent writes for
different documents.
